The 12 Most Useful Social Bookmarking & Autoposting Tools for Your Blog
As bloggers, we’re always trying to encourage our readers to post our blogs to one of the many social bookmarking services… be it digg, delicious, mixx, reddit, stumbleupon or one of the myriad others. There are many different wordpress plugins for different social sites. The problem is that your blog ends up cluttered with all of those buttons, and it really gets annoying.
The solution has been the plugins that allow you to post to any or many of the social networks. Here’s an overview of all of the ones that I’ve found (with some of my lovely comments to boot). One of the most popular players – sharethis, has received $15 million dollars in funding!
Los Angeles Writers Guild Strike Analysis
Can’t resist putting up a post about this. I live four blocks away from CBS, and see the strikers in front of the studio daily. Especially since Joe Marchesse had to make a post about it on Mediapost.
Here was Joe’s take about the effect of the strike on the industry.
- This would accelerate the search for monetization methods of digital content (OK, I didn’t think of that!)
- Less New TV content – I did think of this one as the big drawback for studios
- Surplus of digital media talent – I’ll pretend I thought of that.
Att: Paulie Sabol – A Social Media Experiment…
So I’ve been inducted to the cause of Broadcasting Ben Mack’s Interview with Paulie Sabol (There will be a link to the interview here in a couple of hours) tonight. This is a continuation of my blog post about social media marketing – and getting someone’s attention by blogging about them.
Our goal here is to have Paulie Sabol’s Google Alerts get hit with a bunch of links about this interview. So why am I manipulating the use of your precious time just to do an “ego thing” of pinging someone’s google alerts? Doesn’t this devalue the value of my blog posts, and thus opinions – kind of the John Chow is bad for blogging theory (using the status of my blog to get “personal gain”)?
