1. Make insightful, yet critical comments on a blog. A lot of the time people will post random or mean comments that don't benefit the blog or anyone reading. Hate comments can lead people to shut down their blog or readers to stop coming the blog. By providing your thoughts in a positive way, you're providing your opinions and helping progress the blog.
2.  Follow a lot of different people/blogs. There are endless amounts of social networks out there--Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn... In order to make your profile or blog more appealing, you need to be in tune with what other people are saying, doing, posting, etc. You can learn a lot about what you like/don't like, what you need to improve upon, and even how to seem professional online. You become a more well-rounded person by absorbing all this different content. 
3. Find a wiki you like and use it. Wikis can be used for all types of things. There are wikis about guitar playing, french cuisine, and even superheroes. Find your niche and delve into it. Wikipedia is, of course, the most well-known wiki out there, but since almost anyone can edit it, it's not always credible. Most wikis are a reliable source of information put together by people from all over that have "expert" knowledge in that field. This knowledge can come from experience, obsession, or just interest in the topic.
4. Try open sourcing. Open sourcing is a way to allow a large group of people share ideas and collaborate together. Solutions, innovation, transparency, and diversity can all stem from open sourcing. A downfall of this can be that the initial intent is lost as a wider audience takes hold. Depending on your project, open sourcing may be a good idea. 
5. Utilize tag clouds and cloud computing. With the advanced notion of the "cloud," our society has raised expectations of technology, accessibility, and availability. We are more focused on service, and not the hardware or software behind it. Tag clouds provide insights into the interests of the community and can be accessed from anywhere. Gone are the days of not being able to access your stuff because you're not at your computer. 
6. Employ good blogging practices. Your blog is a digital space that you make your own. It should have a personality and a style. If your followers don't think you're being authentic, they'll lose interest quickly. Make sure you know what they like, but also how to put your own spin on things. Consistent updates keep readers hooked and coming back for more, but just because they don't comment doesn't mean they're not reading. Make your blog stand out with a unique theme or color palette. With so many other blogs out there, you have to distinguish yourself from the rest. 
7. Do social bookmarking. This is a digital bulletin board, a system of saving links you want to remember. Sites like Pinterest have capitalized on this. Social bookmarking allows you to save something you may have stumbled across and go back and look at it later. It is a good way to discover new things, see what your friends are bookmarking, as well as share your interests with others. It also allows you to have a space where all of your bookmarks are stored in one place. No more do you have to have go to several different sites to find it all. 
8. Capitalize on tacit knowledge. Perhaps you have no idea how to do something. Chances are, someone somewhere knows how to. By taking advantage of this collective, experiential knowledge, you allow yourself to learn, discover, and do things you never could before. Maybe you even have a specific knowledge about something that could be beneficial to someone else. Share what you know!
9. Use hashtags. Hashtags allow you to find very specific interests. On Twitter, you click on a hashtag and everything about the subject pops up. It is a good way to spread news and get the word out. Hashtags have morphed our language into shorter words. Maybe this is a good thing, maybe it's not. Either way, you must adjust to these ever-changing practices to keep up with the Internet. 
10. Collaborate. These days, no one can get anything done alone. We use Wikipedia to write papers, we get our news from Twitter, and we make gifs of things we saw on Tumblr. More and more employers are expecting us to know how to use all different kinds of social media sites and be able to interact with the people on them. Knowing how to collaborate with your peers, colleagues, and superiors could be a key to your creative and professional success.
