Curators and Dumpers: Twitter’s Two Citizens

November 17, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

In the information age we’re increasingly defined by who we listen to. After 7 years I’ve found that there are two types of social citizens on Twitter: Curators and dumpers. Curators are careful and intentional with what they share. Dumpers create movement, visibility and noise. Like a type of digital brownian movement, the dumper is constantly running and ...

February 26, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 3 minutes

Increasingly, my life is about finding signal.  Noise grows by the day.  So who I listen to has become important.  Tuning for value has become a new preoccupation. So I thought I'd share a few of the people who do a brilliant job creating a clean, valuable signal for me.  This is not a 'best of' list, but rather a sampling of individuals who do a great job of ...

Why I Schedule Tweets

February 17, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

A few months ago I signed up for Buffer to schedule tweets.  Until that time, I had bought into the idea that scheduling a tweet was like sending a mannequin to a cocktail party.

Link Bait Lists

March 27, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

One way to get traffic to your blog is to make a great big list of people and declare that they're important.  Influencers, People You Need to Know, Up-and-Comers.  The only thing people love more than a list is being on a list.

A Simpler Ladder of Social Engagement

January 3, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes
