Social Media And StartUps: Striking The Right Balance

Image by jamesomalley via FlickrI don't apologize for my active social media presence. But I have to be careful not to take my eyes off my two startups. The startups are where the action is. It is not like I am worried. It is not like I feel like I am losing the balance. For much of 2009 and 2010 I really did not have the option to do the tech startup thing. And then it made a ton of sense to focus primarily on things like tech blogging and networking. But those things don't go away. You don't switch. You learn to juggle a few balls.

Gonna Write For Technorati

I am particularly fond of blogging. My blogs feed into my Twitter and Facebook streams. I set the same for my Tumblr stream, but Tumblr has been messing up the past few days. Many things I read online I have a tendency to tweet out. So if you follow me on Twitter, you get a pretty good idea about what I am blogging and what are some of the things I am reading that day. I read a lot of tech news. And I follow the democracy movements as closely as I can. I was Barack Obama's first full time volunteer in New York City, maybe even the country. (Switching To Obama, Jupiter And Obama, 30 Points Down In The Polls) All that work I would like to cash out on behalf of democracy. I feel very, very strongly about democracy.

Gonna Write For Technorati

Image via CrunchBaseI got an email from Technorati a few days back saying they want me to write for them. I promptly agreed. This is not a big change to my lifestyle, if any. All they ask is that I first publish a post at their site. After I do that I can go ahead and publish the same at my own blog.

Why did I say yes? Are you kidding me?

1. There's not going to be additional work for me. I have been an avid blogger on my own. Now I get to cross publish. 
2. This will bring me more visibility. 
3. I get to link to my own blog from my posts at Technorati. That is going to jack up the traffic at my personal blog. This just might be the number one reason to do it. 
4. Technorati is a Top 30 property on the web. I am okay being associated with their name. 
5. They asked for my Google AdSense ID. They will run ads on my behalf to go with my posts. So I guess there might be some money too. I am not complaining.
