I like blob. I mean I suck at it because I'm impatient, but it's a great tool for screwing with the crew.
Placing the first nuclei in a highly defensible position is ideal. Make sure it's not accessible by space and, if it is, make sure you cover it well. This is blob rule no. 1. In the very least you should block the visibility of your nuclei by surrounding it with vision-obscuring organelles.
Blob rule no. 2 is probably "assign hotkeys", especially for expansion, attack and.. uh, the one that eats people. Not doing so slows you down by quite a bit. Especially when actively defending.
Now, my own biggest problem, as said, is impatience. Ideally you should have some points in reserve so you can expand around a dork quickly and devour them. Let them think they're safe. Let them dig deeper. Then jet around them and gobble them down quicker than they can say wtf.
