How to Target the Right Social Media Sites
By Stephanie Bach
Darren Rowse in ProBlogger tells us that “(i)n order to get the most out of social media traffic you’ll need to put some thought into choosing the social media sites that are the most appropriate for your blog and your audience. Unfortunately, none of us have the time to be an active member on more than just a few social media sites, and trying to target too many of them by adding countless buttons and widgets to your blog will only make it cluttered and ineffective.”

100,000 Ways to Make Twitter More Useful
By Lisa Kirschner
Update: Twitter announced today at its Chirp Developer Conference that it has 100,000 registered apps. Original Article: Since its inception, one of the biggest knocks against Twitter has been that it’s been hard to figure out what to use it for. As time has gone by, this has become much more clear to a great many people, but you can rest assured, there are still plenty out there who have a hard time justifying its use. Others, particularly in the business world feel like they need to be using it, but still have a hard time finding ways in which it can be most effective and beneficial to their specific needs. What Twitter apps make Twitter more useful to you? Tell us here. Twitter’s usefulness more often than not, becomes much more apparent when you find that app that frames it in a way that makes sense to your life or your business (or both). There are at least 10,000 Ways to Use Twitter.OneForty is a directory of Twitter apps, that’s been around since last year, when we first discussed it with founder Laura Fitton. Last month at SXSW in Austin, we dropped by Fitton’s party (which featured some fantastic beer, I must say) and talked with her about the site, and the vast array of Twitter tools that are constantly being developed.
Love this post! Twitter-bashers, beware!
