One of the basic "personality traits" of social media is that you must not hesitate to "give it away". The foundation of building relationships is based upon the GENUINE unconditional desire to share your time & talent and trust that your giving will eventually come full circle.
If you are holding your information tight and close to your chest; only sharing when you get something out of it... this is not the venue for you. As many many articles have reinforced it is not about maintaining control; to participate you must listen and well... participate!
My husband thinks I am crazy; always having a passion to give more than I have gotten, I have never suffered for it (well once, but that is another story, for another day). No wonder my love affair with social media has been a whirlwind romance (don't tell... said husband referred to above)... the quality of the relationships and the giving of information has made me fall deeper and deeper in the bliss that is social media.
Interacting with exceptional individuals such as; #mashable, #aplusk,#dannybrown,#amycourser ... among many others that give freely and often... has reinforced this basic value.
Everyday is a new adventure, a new relationship ...so keep giving... share and share often...
