[...] The Hand Carried Letter – Chris Brogan “Too much too read means much more goes unread. We need ‘the hand-carried letter.’ A hand-carried letter means to me that the person choosing to share information with me believes in what she is sharing, and believes that it’s something I want to know about.” [...]

Great post! And really timely (as most of your posts are) as I'm cautiously stepping up my own level of social media engagement, and trying to be sure I give more than double and ask very little…

This is so dead one. I make it a point to try to give back to the people I have connected with. I make a constant effort to go into my RSS feeds everyday and tell people if there is something interesting I am reading.

I think it takes a lot of time, energy and thinking that goes into someones writing and if they provide useful information I feel compelled to share it. Even if you are in a specific niche it is hard being useful when there are so many others in that same niche, i try to be creative and relevant, but I am sure at times I have been redundant.

Great Post!

I agree with you.
I generally try and share as much information. It is hard to ask for help but you need to know when to ask.
Great content as usual Chris!

“Give much more frequently than you ask.” — Are you serious? I once asked you to share something once and you said “If i shared everything everyone asked me to I'd be doing nothing but sharing other people's stuff all day” (without even looking at what it was, and by the way it was an interesting concept for a non-profit that I was merely working with trying to help them). While at the time your response as “your policy” I completely understood it, reading this now is a load of hypocritical bs coming from you
