Hi Everyone
I am sure some of you are already doing this but I thought it would be great to follow each other on facebook and twitter. I know many of us are on twitter with each other but I think facebook has been a bit neglected. I was also thinking of signing up for each person's RSS feeds. That way you support each fellow Yakezie member 3 ways: facebook, twitter, and RSS. Today, I have signed up these three ways for everyone in the network that I know about. What do you think? Can you pay it forward too?
Miss T

I think we should all at a minimum subscribe to the feeds of the Yakezie members and challengers.
I try to follow every one on twitter. I'm not so good at Facebook because I hardly ever get on it (okay, now no one will ever visit my page) due to time constraints.
Do you get much activity there?

Glad to hear some of you are already doing this. That's great. I just figured there were some that weren't and it was an idea to throw out there. Plus for the newbies to the network it would be a great way to get them started.
I know that those who have completed the challenge are listed on the Yakezie network tab. Do any of you know where we can find a list of the challengers so we can pay it forward with them too?

Miss T, I suppose that you are right, as long as the intentions are to grow along with each other. I see one problem with this, however. The network as it stands is open to anyone who is up for the challenge. Right now, we are up to 237 members. This number is managable, but what happens when we get to 1000? I'll be honest and say that I wouldn't want 1000 emails everyday because I subscribed to 1000 RSS feeds. But Twitter and Facebook? No problem–for me anyway.
So, I suggest that we make the numbers more managable by rewarding those who have actually met the challenge and members who are actually active in the forums. Specifically, this one. For example, because you and a few other have posted your info, I will definitely "follow" and "like" you.
In fact, this forum can be a conduit for challengers like us to list our info to make it easy to follow and like as Betty did, or simply visit the page of the member, to at least give them some page hit love and possibly feedback, and then subscribe from there.

Thank you, Betty and Aloysa. Shortly after my suggestion, thanks to Betty, I've been following and "liking" everyone in this form and have followed the Yakezie member list.

Cents To Save. Nice to meet you. I like your progress bars on your page. They are good motivational boosters. Maybe I should grab one for my 30K goal.
I did notice that it appears to be no easy way to follow you on Twitter. I only saw the Twitter counter on your page–did I miss your button? Did you have a Twitter button so that people can easily click and follow? If not, may I suggest that you add one? I think that it would be more important than the counter itself.
I've scoured the Internet for good buttons and have several in my favorites. Let me know if you need one.

Great idea. Whenever a new challenger introduces themselves in the forums, I follow them on Twitter and subscribe to their RSS feed. There was a thread here a while ago where everyone posted their Facebook pages (can't remember where at the moment), and I "liked" everyone's page there. As you said, if we can all do that it would be great!
I agree with Romeo as well – I am really behind on my RSS feed (I have well over 2,500 unread posts), so this may become unmanageable really soon. I do my reading in waves, so you may see me comment and promote 5 of your articles in one day, but none for 2 weeks. However, you can always send me a Direct Message on twitter if you want me to read and promote something immediately.
I think my Twitter and Facebook links are in my signature below, so here is my feed address: http:knsfinancial.com/feed
Thanks!
@ Romeo, I just got an error from Twitter stating that http://twitter.com/wepreventwealth.com doesn't exist (that is the link in your forum profile).

I bet it had something to do with the .com that I ended my twitter name with.

Romeo, thanks for your insight. You're right, it has hard to keep with the RSS feeds so I agree with just using Facebook and Twitter. How did you get a list of the challengers and everyone in the forum? I would like to follow and like them as well.

I have added everyone I can to Facebook, Twitter, and Feedburner.
I find that it helps if people follow you on Twitter and Feedburner because it will increase your rank on sites like WiseBread and MoneyCrashers.

Great idea!
We need a directory so we can do this easily.
I followed and liked everyone here.
Thanks!
