Does Your Credibility Show in What You Do? (Reblog)
Does Your Credibility Show in What You Do? There’s the pot and the kettle …
Not long ago, while we were listening to a talk show, a friend made a remark about a woman caller who argued a passionate opinion. She talked a bit longer than was acceptable for the the show in question. What he said was, “Anyone who can’t stop long enough to let someone else talk isn’t worth listening to.”

WebSphere Portal version 8 Installation Social Workshop

This is a reblog to my blog on “Thoughts on Portal from Level 2 Support”, http://ow.ly/c1sn3
This is the first real customer engagement since we established our social presence on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/websphereportalsupport, and revamped Twitter handle @PortalSupport, or http://www.twitter.com/portalsupport.
We wish our customers to be active on social channels as well. Though this workshop is very technical, we also want to test water of social customer support and develop a brand new platform for IBM support and customers to be comfortable using social media.
The Twitter chat format is borrowed from the normal chat sessions happening everyday on Twitter, but with technical aspects injected. It would be interesting to see how it expands.
I will summarize the experience after the 3 week workshop and provide lessons learned.

#EAvChat summary 6/21/2012
Empire Avenue’s Century Club
Yesterday, my Empire Avenue Stock is at 99.37. I believe the share price will be in 100’s territory. When your share price reaches 100, you are officially admitted into the “Century Club” on Empire Avenue. I think it’s time for me to summarize my experience with Empire Avenue.
I started Empire Avenue about 4 and half months ago. I have heard the game before I started. At that time, I was checking my Klout scores daily, but have heard some negative comments about Klout. I was having hard time to keep my Klout scores going up. I was pretty active on Twitter and thought I should have better scores. I also tried some other social measurement sites and was not happy with the results. When I found EA through searching online, I thought it may be a good idea to give it a try. How bad could it hurt?
So initially I considered EA as a way of measuring my social activities. As I said, I was pretty active on Twitter at the time and was much less active on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google +. My stock price went up quickly at beginning just like many other newbies, because my Twitter account looked decent. After the initial drive, my stock stopped growing and there are some days you could see negative. I was totally lost about what happened. Worse, I got sold by some, which drove my stock further south.
I felt panic, just as I had experienced with Klout before. Although I stayed active on Twitter, it didn’t help much on my stock sliding trend. That’s when I decided to add all my social accounts. I added Foursquare, Youtube, LinkedIn, and Flickr. When Google+ was made available, I immediately added it. Also I started this blog at that time. Adding these accounts boosted my social engagement and participation on all different channels. My stock started grow again.
I started asking questions about EA and joined some Facebook groups and EA communities. I started Pinterest about this time. The engagement on Facebook caught attentions of EA vets. I was then invited to join Dom’s Picks and EAs Chat, organized by Des Daughter Diethylstilbestrol and Jeroen van Zelst. These groups help me opening up more interactions with Facebook friends. I also learned a lot about Facebook and EA. Two important lessons I learned are (1) how to select and complete EA missions more responsibly; and (2) how to make new friends in EA and Facebook. By helping others in EA and Facebook, I gained trust from people who I never knew before.
I created my first missions to celebrate Mother’s Day in US (May 10th) by giving 2000 eaves away to anyone. A lot of positive feedback came in. This taught me a lesson, most people are decent and we should trust them to reward good gestures and good will. I then set up a goal to help people’s missions with good cause.
I have to tell you this, on my birthday (May 19th), I replaced my profile photo on all my social channels with the same clean and latest picture. I believe this had also helped a lot in building my social presence. If you can’t choose a photo to show yourself consistently across all your social profiles, how can people trust you?
At this important day of my EA life, I would like to thank the following people for their continuous support.

Why I don’t follow you?
I normally would follow back to people as a general rule, because I believe I could contribute to the content of the Internet. Based on this belief, I consider the more people follow me, the bigger an audience I can reach. The following set of tweeps I normally do not follow.
– You have hundreds even thousands of followers, but you have only a few tweets. This clearly tells me your followers are fake ones and I don’t care how you get them to follow you.
– You don’t have a profile or bio. I don’t know your purpose to use Twitter.
– Your only tweets are promoting your own business and they don’t contribute to the community.
– Early you followed me and I followed back, but later I found you unfollowed me. In that case, I would immediately unfollow.you. I think this is the basic mutual respect. If you don’t like my tweets, let me know.
– Your only purpose is sex.
– Your taste is low, or like to use bad language.
The Security experts I follow on Twitter
My primary interests are cloud, social media, and security. Anything related to information, web, data, and computer security would attract my attentions.
