I think the recession has extended and exacerbated this problem: everybody working on a product or website feels threatened by a lack of capital, resources, and security, and feels a strong compulsion to "always be doing something". Do I really need 35 Tweets in a single day from a 'media evangelist' who marks up Wordpress blogs with fancy CSS? Wouldn't just one do? Thank you for writing this – I couldn’t agree more.

You just have to find them. Do I participate in all of them? Heck no. I'm 24, trying to promote myself and actively recruiting clients. I'm going to brand myself essentially as an SM Expert...because that's what sells. I refuse to use the title though. It's tough because when one builds that kind of an audience...your reception to more fact heavy/case study heavy posts definitely decreases. I try to mix it up...but you can't cater to your audience to much. You have to make them think. I think these conversations definitely exist. You just have to find them.
