#2The article is pretty trite, but one gem that's worth repeating, is that if you want to be popular, then be "raw". Make yourself vulnerable. Share unpopular opinions.

It's the Eddie Murphy school of networking.

#4"Just be yourself" This is pretty similar to what i remember reading as a teenager when looking for advice on the opposite sex. Though no one ever really told me, how to be me.
There are lots of me's, the one that stays up late watching south park, and the one that enjoys a fine glass of wine. Many of my friends took this phrase as a ticket to be slovenly, thinking that they would attract others by "being themselves". While the advice is sound, it shouldn't be taken as an absolute law.

#5"So just be yourself already. It’s that simple."
It actually applies to everything in general. It's that simple.

To paraphrase Bill Cosby:
I said to a guy, I said, "Tell me, what is it about being yourself that makes it so wonderful?", and he said, "Well, it intensifies your personality." I said, "Yes, but what if you're an asshole?"

#8The title is trite - and fairly useless - advice. But the article actually contains some much more useful tips.

It's a call to integrity. Don't make up new personas for different social situations. You should be the same "you" in every situation.
