While I was preparing my presentation for “Starting the Conversation,” a social media workshop hosted by SocialMediaClub, I wound up drafting version one of the manifesto for helping marketers adapt to the rapidly evolving realm of social media.

In the past, I’ve spoken at PR, tech, and communications events about Social Media and how companies can engage in the conversations taking place with or without them. As much as I wanted to look into the future, I was rooted in the present as a means to connect it to the past. There are just too many new things to introduce to people and even more reasons why they should care.

In recent months it’s become apparent that a lot of people find themselves overwhelmed by too much information. Subscribe to too many RSS feeds and follow too many people of Twitter and FriendFeed and suddenly you find yourself struggling to keep up with what is mostly irrelevant nonsense. Louis Gray wrote a commonsense post on his blog this weekend: “You Control Your Noise Velocity“. Louis’ straightforward point is that rather than complain about too much noise, you should just make sure you only subscribe to as much as you feel comfortable with.

With an ever-growing number of applications out there enabling you to get near-instant access to news stories, friends' status updates, and social networking activity, many people are feeling panicked. A not too uncommon refrain I've seen is that there is too much "noise", and this fear of noise is what is holding back the growth of some services, or stopping people, who may have already chosen one they liked, from signing up to more news sources and social networks.

I love the Web and the fascinating number of useful and useless tools but it can also a huge time-suck and productivity killer.

Like many digital animals, the Web constantly seduces you. Just when you’ve got e-mail and IM within your communications arsenal, you’re using Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed. Then, you’ve got Digg, del.icio.us, GMail, Google Reader, Mixx, et al to track and bookmark it all.

At some point, it’s overwhelming. It’s impossible to be everywhere and anywhere, and embrace all the tools being used by the digerati. At some point, you just have to pick you digital weapons, and stick with them.

The arguments that blogs are dead usually center around several key points.

1. The growth of high-traffic, high-profile, multi-author blogs destroys any hope for the average individual blogger to be discovered and gain any meaningful audience.
2. Newer forms of social media, like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr make the need for personal blogs obsolete.
3. The never-ending comment spam, coupled with comments from obnoxious readers, simply require too much energy and time.

These observations are completely accurate based on my experience with blogs and the Internet.

I had been using a short list of social media principles with my clients. When I started writing my book I wanted to codify them. So research was in order. Imagine my surprise when I found page after page after page of social media principles.

The initial research turned up sixty four of the little buggers. I’ll post my own personal list of social media principles that should make all these a little more concise and coherent.

The world of Socialized Media is maturing and along with it, our knowledge, expertise, reach, and personal and represented brands are only flourishing. It will continue as long as we realize that these new social tools and networks require an entirely new commitment and embodiment of what we personify and how we can be a genuine resource to the people who define the communities that are important to us.

We really can’t deny the fact that businesses are testing out Twitter as part of their steps into the social media landscape. You can say it’s a stupid application, that no business gets done there, but there are too many of us (including me) that can disagree and point out business value. I’m not going to address the naysayers much with this. Instead, I’m going to offer 50 thoughts for people looking to use Twitter for business.
