I don't think there's a way to share your work without getting into social networking.

Don't worry though! By social networking, I don't mean "pushing product by spamming accumulated channels" which is probably the most result-driven and cynical way to look at it. Come to think of it, all the terms people use like, "leveraging a platform" just feel slimey. I don't mean that you have to do that.

Take hubski. If thenewgreen posted a submission tomorrow that said hey, I'm launching a podcast -- I would listen. That's because I recognize him, he's a familiar presence, I like his perspective, he's really active here. I would read and share his work because he's invested in this community in a way I appreciate so I know I would be likely to find value in his work.

Hear that, thenewgreen? Seriously, do it.

Art needs a community to receive it. Established institutions have that community baked in already. We aren't backed by institutions, so we need to be directly involved in making the community and the less cynical, the more generous that involvement is the better.

There's better and worse ecosystems for what you want to do. Facebook is not it. Reddit can be OK, but lacks a robust follow feature in a big anonymous sea. Hubski is good, but it's small. I don't know much about tumblr or wordpress or goodreads social features, although I hear goodreads is good.

I've been diving into Google+ lately and... it's actually really good. I wanna write more about it soon in it's own thread, but I'm incredibly impressed. I think it might be the next big thing. Really very solid and seems to be the best of all worlds... plus, your posts become searchable throughout google. Really powerful stuff and worth a look into... the community Poets of G+ is well run, a diverse 3k strong and active from what I've seen at least.
