I try to comment on blogs as much as I can. I'm learning a lot from this book. But like I said in my post... I use the same avatar across all my social networks. And I use 'gbrenna' pretty much everywhere too. I was super not creative when I thought that one up. haha... Good stuff! Well Phillip… I try to comment on blogs as much as I can.

At the same time, though, I wish I was better at doing those things. I try to take a multiple-front approach. That is, I try to connect with a person on their blog and then also on Twitter (just 2 examples), even if that means that I send them a quick @reply to let them know I commented on their post. I think that doing that shows that there's a little more genuineness involved on my part...either that or it makes me look desperate. Yeah, those sorta seem like no-brainers to me, too.

I'd probable sit there with a mouth full of teeth and nothing to say. lol

Some people join twitter and never have a conversation. When someone new follows me, I check their profile. If they are only making statements, never replying to others, I don't usually follow back. They are only there to broadcast, not conversate. I'm interested in getting to know people's humanness, and therefore tend to share personal stuff online so my quirks are available. Agree that many people are afraid to be real online. Those of us who are, reap the benefits of connectedness. And brings a desire to meet face-to-face. I think we should assemble a mission trip and visit Phillip to have a tweetup in Cape Town, South Africa. Who's in? =) Yes, this does seem like common sense, but agree w/Phillip – many don’t get it.

Also to answer your question literally (ways that you maintain and build up your human face on the Web), having a profile pic (or gravitar for sites that use them) wherever you post is important too. FWIW, I don't think I got much new insight out of this section of the book. It seems like common sense that we should use etiquette and treat people the way we would want to be treated online, but if Chris and Julien devoted this much space to that, perhaps that sense is not so common.
