I think that being quick off the mark with new tools is important. I don't think that simply using everything that is available, without any discrimination, is a good policy. I do think though that using everything that seem worthwhile is a good policy. Obviously, I am talking about free avenues to bringing in visitors. For paid advertising the picture is governed by cost and return on investment in a much more clear-cut way. For free avenues, the only downsides are time spent on developing them and the time and opportunity missed developing a better avenue.
