I approach this more from the angle of the little things like updating my status to: "josh: really doesn't like moving." I do it once with Ping.fm and all my sites are updated, if someone replies I can continue that conversation on Facebook or whatever. As for the ASP (autosocialposter) that is purely for backlinks to my post. I wrote about Seth Godin Tribes right when it came out and because of that Plugin I ranked higher than his blog and Amazon.com because I had those instant backlinks. This isnt the case anymore but it did provide a flood of traffic. @Tiffany,

I advocate a less-is-more approach. Curious your thoughts on that as well... Thanks for the great post!

Does it? What's been your experience with this? I think this tactic you propose is probably only useful when you use it to update statuses but also have a real-time presence on the sites - otherwise, the relationship-building and conversational element of social networking is lost and you're just putting up a billboard of yourself, in essence. Online, people don't want billboards, they want interaction, authenticity, and mostly -real. What do you think? Josh,
