Gavin Heaton has some good ideas about what works and doesn’t in social media. This one definitely resonates for me.

Nervous – Does your content make you nervous? Do you get a small thrill when you write it? Do you worry that people will respond in a way that is unpredictable? If so, you may be on the right path. To produce content that is remarkable – you need to invest something in it. You need to have an opinion. The best content makes you a little nervous as you release it to the public.

Yeah, feeling nervous tends to go with getting into the “zone of proximal development“.
