I’m far from an expert at this point BUT with the experience I’ve had with thousands of YouTube subscribers (millions of video views), a list of a couple hundred is more “potent” than thousands of fans/subscribers/followers (on the social media services). Also the quality of replies you get via a blog/email list are AWAY better.

What good are your fans if you don’t even have a base. I absolutely agree with you Adam.

Great content shared throughout the online space helps build trust and visibility.

Don’t discount RSS though…plenty of smart people/early adopters are fluent with RSS and still using it – these people tend to be digitally savvy and share good content across lots of platforms.

Email is a pretty clean method of distribution too :)
