Aliza Sherman has createdf 10 Golden Rules forSocial Media. Have a look at her Web Worker Daily Blog @ http://webworkerdaily.com/2009/05/26/10-golden-rules-of-social-media/
1. Respect the Spirit of the ‘Net. The Internet was developed for communication and connection to people and information.
2. Listen. Llisten first before speaking. Listening thoughtfully gives you a better sense of not only what people are saying but also how they are feeling. In virtual spaces where there are no visual cues, good listening skills become a powerful asset.
3. Add Value. Enter any online conversation with the aim of adding value. Before posting a message as a new participant in a forum, ask yourself: How is this providing value to the conversation? To the community?
4. Respond. Importance of timely responses to any feedback or queries.Don’t be a dam in a conversation flow.
5. Do Good Things. — people, planet, profit — and then perpetuating this social responsibility to all you do in business.
6. Share the Wealth. “If you’ve got it, share it, spread it around,” In social media, sharing is the fuel of the conversation engine.
7. Give Kudos. Social media works when you are generous. The rise of retweeting — real retweeting, not spammy retweeting — shows how far giving credit to others can go in social spaces.
8. Don’t Spam.
9. Be Real. You’ll have far better and more long-lasting positive results than if you try to be someone — or something — you’re not.
10. Collaborate. Before you dive into social media for marketing and selling, take a look at who is out there and who is doing it well. How can you work with them, instead of trying to muscle your way into the space?
Social media tools are only that — tools. The real energy, spirit and power of social media is people. We are social media.

“A third culture kid is a person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside their parents’ culture. The third culture kid builds relationships to all the cultures, while not having full ownership in any. Although elements from each culture are assimilated into the third culture kid’s life experience, the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of the same background, other TCKs.”
