I maintain three blogs at the moment, and when I post to them, I feed to Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Goodreads and Triberr, which then feeds to twitter on my behalf. Does that make me a spammer?<br /><br />I don't think so. I don't email anyone, I don't try to con them into buying anything legal, never mind illegal. Certainly, my blog carries the cover images of my novels (and other peoples') and some of my posts are designed to advertise specific titles, but that is not spam. Why? Because no one any of those social sites is targeted. They see the tweet/post and they decide form themselves whether they want to visit the site and read what I have to say.<br /><br />It's also WYSIWYG. I'm not prattling about the writing process while secretly trying to get you to buy fake Viagra. I talkk about writing and books because I am a writer and book lover.<br /><br />It's my considered opinion that this person is talking out of his/her backside. (Note: I would have said talking out of her arse, but I know you prefer politeness.)David Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000338117685929780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622544917745692912.post-29247807984509780812012-05-23T15:45:56.817+01:002012-05-23T15:45:56.817+01:00Ignore it Richard.

The only way they can do it is to advertise. It has to be done, so do it. Good luck.Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479128863662675716noreply@blogger.com
