10 Dos and Don’ts for Being a Good Social Media Citizen
"Valuable article, but as with these articles in the past (written by staff and members) it's 'preaching to the choir'. People that don't read other articles or participate in the community will never even bother to click on this article. It's the ultimate catch22. The way I see it is this. As long as people like "John Doe" (who has been a member for over a year, has never voted for another member and has never answered a single comment[There are scores of John Does} continue to see their articles become Hot Topics by staff and members, there is no reason to change. Why should they comment, vote or acknowledge the votes and comments. There is never even any indication of thanks of gratitude. They just somehow expect that they will get support. It is one of the frustrating things here. Again, the article is nice, but I am a skeptic. Rivkah"10 Dos and Don’ts for Being a Good Social Media Citizen
"Hi Susan, Great point. Without seeming to cynical I truly believe that most subscribers want votes. They want the tweets and traffic that come as a result. I can see right now from the stats a member who has submitted 200 stories. he has voted 200 times, all for himself. It's sad. It's obvious what he wants. BizSugar has the potential to be a great community. It will be sustained though by a small core group of involved members and by the generosity of the votes of the staff.

"smallbiztrends, Being that this is your site, I want to stress the word "respectful" when I say I "respectfully" disagree. I think that most people who succeed on BizSugar consistently have done so by submitting quality work and by building a following of readership on their sites and here. As people do this, more and more people who read their posts are inclined to vote. If I was somebody who was not succeeding, I would take a good hard look at those who are and see what it is that is allowing them to succeed. People who do well in school are not discouraged from doing so and those in general who succeed in life are not discouraged. They are called role models. Again, I want to remain respectful for the opportunity you give, but I have to say that I disagree with the use of the word "disruptive". When my husband Yonatan first started submitting here, he didn't realize the great value of Biz Sugar. He submitted his work and that was all. He took a good look after seeing others on the front page. That's when something clicked and he started participating. I think with all of my heart that everybody has a chance for the limelight but to reward those (in some cases through artificial means( does not change peoples' behavior. It really only makes it worse. Rivkah "10 Dos and Don’ts for Being a Good Social Media Citizen
"SBT, Yoni67, my husband, whose IP address for the next 4 days at least will be one from Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital where he is again hospitalized. No doubt by tomorrow he will start supporting his fellow BizSugar members with comment number 806 and vote number 1906. It is very disheartening on his behalf to read the last comment. If having built up a loyal following, including an exchange student who is staying with us and who has voted very generously for all posters is a crime, then I guess he is guilty.

"Hesham, I have to say that I have checked out a lot of your archive on Famous Bloggers. It truly is one of the best blogging resources out there. My husband and I enjoy your postings very much...we both agree that in terms of consistent quality you are unmatched and unparalleled! I love your title 'Night Creature in Chief!' Looking forward to your next great post! Rivkah"Subscribe
