The issue always on my mind is that while the original content is valuable, what degree of blowback comes from overlapping audience experience, even though the intent is to draw their attention back to the blog? If a “fan” is connected on G+, Twitter, Facebook, etc., do they get tired of seeing the same message on all locations, or does the saturation entrench the brand/message that much deeper on a positive level?

I know that I personally spend very little time on blogs per say, other than for research purposes when a blog shows up in the search results for what I’m looking for. Im also a visual learner so Youtube is hands down my go to place for almost everything.

Otherwise I’m on facebook and forums talking to people and for all intents and purposes “blogging” there.

It will be interesting to see your results Paul.
Please do post frequent updates, it’s a great social experiment.
Hopefully you can pull off better results than Ryan did ;]

Post links to the other streams – of course I will.

The one link is – http://www.PaulColligan.com

SEO is not the key consideration. No reason to redirect – PaulColligan.com is about me, not Google.

And I promote a similar strategy for my clients, encouraging them to create incentives and promotions that engage customers to share their experience on social media – then capture all the action on the social media and create a blog post about it.  Email, tweet and promote the new stories on the Blog, where you encourage people to tweet, like and share the story. 

Yes, i could “start” with my blog and crosspost wherever I want. This means I’d start with the place with the lowest bang for the buck. Why do that?
