    Good points!

    I’ve only recently become aware of the importance of networking, and this series has been a good checklist to make sure I’m not coming off like a tool when making introductions. :)

    Thanks!

    Amen especially to the first one.

    I was contacted and INSULTED by an individual who had the audacity to even request to follow me on twitter (I am private on twitter). I had to get FUGLY (UGLY) on them and tell them to STEP off. I appreciate this blog post! I have to give a hug to @10000words for posting your post on twitter.

    Thank you again!

    Hi Blake,

    This is a nice list. I’d like to add one more — Don’t plagiarize from the blogger. It’s not a good idea:

    Thanks for putting this together!

    Great tips! I would only add my big pet peeve — when the request e-mail starts with “we love your blog” — from people who have never previously posted a comment and, often, are presenting submissions for products that don’t fit. It’s doubly obvious that they haven’t read it!

    Some great tips there, Blake. I’ve had to spend a fair chunk of time responding to marketing emails, asking to be removed from lists I never opted into. Quite the pet peeve.

    All the very best for 2009!

    Thanks for the comment love guys/gals. I know that these were pretty simple and logical, but it just helps to be reminded of them sometimes. ;)
