Awesome comment! So much wisdom I always gain from your wisdom, thank you! (J/K!)
Appreciate the kind words, though... some of all of this also is (perhaps) a self-sorting mechanism... we don't officially have "Communities" as a feature, but it seems that people who care about content have self-arranged to follow each other. I look at the comment sections (my own and people I read's) and I see a lot of "meat" there and very little spam. And it seems that often the same names are following similar groups of people.
Just scroll through the comments here... most of us are having dialogue; sometimes 3-4 people part of the same thread. For me, that's what GOOD social media is about; I'm not in the marketing business; I don't have a product I am pitching... I'm in the interaction business. And if a bunch of people want to "talk" on my posts, that's cool as hell!
