Just like the community in which you live, social media neighborhoods are created by the people who inhabit them. Here at BizSugar.com, for example, we feel we have one of the best online communities on the planet, but making a difference in your social media community or neighborhood has to do with your effort and the efforts of your fellow members to make them good places to interact and network.

Wonderful tips and advice Shawn! Biz Sug is really a community which represents the best of what social media is supposed to be! In terms of great information for my business pursuits I couldn't have asked for better!

Shawn,

Thanks for another great, info-packed posting on the manners and behaviors associated with Social Media in general and BizSugar in particular.

You have drawn an excellent analogy between SM/BizSugar and neighborhoods and communities. Sometimes people have a tendency to think that because we are online that our behaviors are less impactful but it's not true. Helfulness and hurtfulness are just as impactful in electronic media. There also seems to be a certain anonymity on the Web whereby people feel that they can say and do things they wouldn't ordinarily do or say in the public realm...the result can oftentimes be hurtful.

I must say that in BizSugar I have found my community...it is, in my mind, a respectful place, one where I have made numerous contacts and friendships and one in which I continue to learn from others' articles on a daily basis.

Thanks for a great post,

Yonatan
