Mike, it sounds like you're finding your way in the same fashion I am—by trial and error. That's really the only way you can do something and feel good about it in the end. 

Trina, I always appreciate how open and go-with-the-flow you seem to be about things. Is that a Canadian trait? :) Also, I'm very glad you found your way to Twitter. It seems to suit you well.

Rebecca, I hadn't really thought about this before, but I completely agree with your thoughts on blogging: "...that’s why I like blogging in general; because you can experiment and do different things and it’s all your space to do that with." When I started my blog, I think I was too unsure of myself in the social media realm to enjoy that aspect of it, but now I'm starting to find my stride.

Tracy, YES: "...as a blogger, that’s what I think my job is ultimately: to start conversations." I think that's why I feel funny, is that I worry people will think I'm just trying to get big numbers and look more "popular." Why does it feel so hard to convince people who don't really know you that your motives are pure and good? Anyway, you've got a lot more fan page experience under your belt than I do. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for me!

Bejewell, using words like "tertiary" is actually just a holdover from my snooty English major days. Sometimes those words slip out. :) Anyway, I'm glad I'm not alone in my WTF take on things (and glad you got the Wordpress, Twitter, Facebook double-meaning that I have been so amused by).

Carmen, awww shucks. Long-time in-real-life friends are still the best kind.

Dave, I've definitely surpassed 10,000 hours of writing, since I've been writing for a living for more than 15 years! But no, I'm still an unsure toddler in the whole social media realm. And maybe, when it's all said and done, the experience in one area and lack of experience in the other work together quite nicely. :)
