I regularly use reddit and digg, but i find that digg is the perfect compliment for press releases and seo. There are absolutely loads of social bookmarks now and i think the key is focusing on the right one’s for your business.

There is such a wide array of social bookmarks and sites now. I recently wanted to add my site to a bookmark feed and noticed that there were over 500 social bookmarks available. Amazing.

Social bookmarking is one of the key internet marketing strategies and a crucial promotional tool to gear up your online business. But I think that social bookmarking is a process you just cannot pass over if you desire your business to really start flying, also using a good automatic bookmarking software is definitely the most essential and cost effective way to do it.

Wow, when you put the map together of how many different types of social media and bookmarking, it is amazing. Does anyone use social bookmarking for promotion.

Here in Atlanta I’ve seen ads looking for:

Social Media Strategist
Director of PR & Social Media

Social Media Coordinator

Sounds like we need some industry standards!

@ Matt – Well said, my friend. Well said, indeed.

@ Roberto – Very well put, Roberto, I like the idea you end on especially. Design for humans, and write for humans… nice.

Truly spot on, I’ve been meaning to address this too. I wouldn’t claim to be a so called expert, but I would point out I can’t stand how ignorant many of the so called SEO’s and Social Media Marketers think and talk about the web and social media sites.

I’ve been trying for the longest make people understand that the goal should be to build relationships and utilize the web to start or contribute to meaningful conversations, share experience, and something of value, not just create link spam.

If you have something interesting to say, or are engaging or entertaining, or even better are providing people with something they need or want, they will find you, they will seek you out, you don’t have to do much or over think, it only requires you to be thoughtful and use good common sense in the first place.

Design for humans, and write for humans, or before you know it the machines will rise up and smite us for abusing them.

I agree…how can anyone claim to be an expert at anything that comes on so quickly. I can believe in “best practices” but that assumes a degree of time to practice and have what works eventually rise to the top. There is something here but I’m not convinced anyone will be able to become an “expert”. Since, as you point out, it is “comprehensive” in nature as soon as the knowledge equalizes technology becomes obsolete. Any pioneer can be first to stake a claim but pioneers always had arrows in their backs.
