		<description>Autom, not much to add here. I think you've covered the crux of it. For a length of time it takes an individual to establish their brand through twitter and blogs, building voice is probably the biggest hurdle.  Determining the "point" at which your voice is heard, acknowledged and people say, "hey this guy/gal has some pretty good insight" -- takes time. The frequency of posts just to show your personal brand is visibility is a constant "hear me please" plea to the twitterverse. But when you do reach that point when those posts turn into conversations and a true value exchange ..... it's pure bliss:)</description>

		<description>Great stuff, Autom!  Disappointed I missed this post before my presentation today. Some nice points I would have included.  But, I will include your ideas in my posts with the slides over the next few days!

Also, my formula is twitter + blog + bit.ly.  Utilizing the 90-9-1 principle, it is important to remember not everyone will engage all the time, but that doesn't mean they are not reading or not finding what you are sharing useful.   Adding a URL shortener that gives you some analytics, allows you to see if your community is opening your links.  This is useful in assessing if you are keeping the conversation relevant to the your  community for each of your topic spheres.  Look forward to continuing the conversation when I post my slides from my presentation.  :-)</description>

		<description>Dave - at all! You raise a valid concern with a potential tendency to label and in effect 'commoditize' a social media trend, which in my view is more an evolving state or process than say a quantifiable product or service offering. I have long avoided blogging on this topic since in my mind the phenomenon seems self-evident and self-explanatory on many levels. However, in articulating my own observations, the aim is to share my interpretations and obtain feedback and reaction like yours!..will check out your post shortly Thanks for swinging by and sharing your thoughts on this..and yes, it would be curious to see what others think about the potential 'labeling' tendency</description>

		<description>Great work Autom! Once again you've managed to clarify a foggy situation. I think you are spot on with your dissection of personal branding. But the very idea of personal brands has never sat well with me. Your post got me thinking about it, hence my delay in posting here. At a base level I think we are all talking about character, personality and behavior — the core elements that define us as humans. It scares me to think that we may be diminishing something so important by labeling it with a marketing term. I just finished a more detailed discussion of my thoughts on http://SPURspectives.com with this post: http://spurspectives.com/the-danger-of-personal-branding/

Please don't see this as a personal attack. I agree with everything you've said. My fear is about the bigger issue of labeling. I'm very curious what everyone else thinks.</description>
