Really nice blog Kneale -- be real, be honest, be sincere. Don't have hidden agendas.

I can't add to that list - it's a good one - just to summarize and remind everyone there are no short cuts and you spamming people does not make you a great navigator of social media. Cheers, Kneale. Thanks for this!
