@davew @suzannealdrich I'm glad you like that. I think people get worried about it a lot. It's not their job to strategize which social network services to use; it's our job to get them wired up.

@davew OK, sounds good.

"The Rule of Links is that you link when it's appropriate to do so. Linking is an art. It's a choice. You don't link from every word or even every noun, or from the subject of every sentence."http://scripting.com/scripting/manila/bloggerCon/ruleoflinks.html#:~:text=The%20Rule%20of%20Links%20is,the%20subject%20of%20every%20sentence

@davew but doesn't the web imply certain protocols like HTTP? what's special about social media is the boost that enables extreme virality. it's what RSS lacked. when decentralized, it allows the public to rival/surpass mass media in determining what gets attention. that's essential to restore democracy in an age of big money media and advertising. #DemocracyOfReachthe web means open, not a corporate silo. social should mean boostable. and #ActivityPub is a W3C standard. thus #SocialWeb.
