Social media gallore
Just created accounts on a bunch of social media sites. This one’s making me put a back link on my site – let’s see if it settles for a link within my blog post for now…
http://www.blogcatalog.com/directory/news_media
PS As a result of posting this link and joining Blog Catalog, my SEO has improved!
Blog Catalog is a directory of blogs. If you like blogging, follow the link to check it out – and let me know what you think. I’m still deciding, myself. (FYI – that hyperlink up there satisfied the robots, so I’m in!)
Some other social bookmarking sites and my thoughts on them, having done some research:
www.Digg.com is the third most popular social media site in the world, hot with newsies
www.stumbleupon.com is the world’s fifth most popular social media site
www.technorati.com is one of the world’s most popular social media indices
www.blogcatalog.com is one of the world’s most popular social media indices – lets you pay to have your blog promoted – but it’s a hefty $60/month – very work intensive to sign up!
http://twitter.com is one of the world’s most popular social media sites – you may have heard of it.
http://delicious.com is waning as one of the most popular bookmarking sites going, but its interface is nice and remains a top gun
