Some it's good, but most of it is fairly average...also, people lied about how often they blog, meaning, like yours, my twitter stream was full of often-quite-inane stuff from random blogs that were not really of interest to me, let alone my followers.<br /><br />There are some tribe members I never approve on Triberr and if they have a problem with it, I'll leave. I'm not sure it works so well as to be worth compromising what I present to the world.<br /><br />However, it does have some benefits - I found your blog that way, for instance :)<br /><br />I also wonder though - how is it the slightly average bloggers have so many more followers than me?

It's not a slight against fellow triberrs, it's just a matter of being able to smartly mete out our time. Nothing wrong with that!Jonathan D Allenhttp://jonathandallen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-88231181470166190762011-09-28T19:42:20.602-04:002011-09-28T19:42:20.602-04:00John,
Your blog amazes me. You post quality stuff ...John,<br />Your blog amazes me. You post quality stuff *every day!* I am in awe. True, some of it may be about the storytelling behind a video game, and that's not my cuppa tea, but your Garbage Day: Magical Thinking (http://bit.ly/nHj5sv) was superb! <br /><br />As I said -- and I believe you understood -- my trouble with Triberr (I SO wanted to use Tribbles to illustrate the post, but that seemed a little to Geek / Twee) wasn't necessarily with the content, the quality, or the quantity of individual bloggers' work. It was more with the whole magnitude of the social contract. When I fulfilled my obligations to Triberr, I felt I was somehow doing so at the expense of my loyal Twitter followers. <br /><br />We're all learning and growing. I feel much less stressed trying to keep up with everyone's content in the mondo tribe. If things keep on like this, I may even find the time to write in the next day or so. :D I know my decision to leave was the right one for me. However, I've kept my TweetDeck list of Triberr Tweeps (including ones from the mondo tribe), and refer to it frequently, looking for gold nuggets of content to share.<br /><br />Thanks for the voice of support & right back atcha. Keep on keeping on!Ami Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113842141579251283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-13020445082749350072011-09-28T18:04:39.066-04:002011-09-28T18:04:39.066-04:00Ami,

I suspect I might be the person who blogged about a video game. To be fair, I was talking about the storytelling, but I definitely didn't think that would hit everyone's sweet spot and wasn't offended that people didn't tweet it. <br /><br />Overall, though, your post pretty much backed up some of my thoughts about the process itself. I don't think you're ungrateful or negative at all. In fact, I'm seeing that Triberr can be useful, but I think I'm going to have to do the same thing as you. Maybe not leave, but vet everything that comes from me. It's definitely a question of quality and how much you can manage with these social media outlets. <br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to give you a little voice of support from someone else who's learning the pitfalls.Jonathan D Allenhttp://jonathandallen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-53756429237606423122011-09-26T10:12:34.606-04:002011-09-26T10:12:34.606-04:00Leah,

I felt ungrateful, somehow, because I was in this awesomely huge tribe of writers and all I could see were pitfalls of the situation. I deliberated about quitting the big tribe for days. Now that I have, however, I feel much more comfortable with my Triberr activity. With few exceptions, the tribe I'm in now posts things I'd RT anyway.Ami Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113842141579251283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-33842869319614846292011-09-26T09:53:31.487-04:002011-09-26T09:53:31.487-04:00This is just what I needed to read right now.

I was still actively culling such mess from my stream by unfollowing people who weren't being social, they were only advertising. <br /><br />I can't be social on a social network if I can't tell what's going on for the page full of spam. <br /><br />Thanks for the post!<br /><br />LeahLeah Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668989627100455974noreply@blogger.com
