Facebook appears to have become a real challenger to these Internet juggernauts, who are relatively old compared to the social network that started out in 2004 as a university student-only service and only really opened up to the public in September 2006.

Socialise your blog

Most social networks offer you the opportunity to syndicate blog content with them. So that every time you write a new post it will appear in your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn feeds.

This a good way to get more eyeballs on your content and more traffic to your site. It will not directly improve your SEO score for back-links as most of these social networks use the nofollow link attribute.

Here’s how you do it:

Facebook

The are several points of access for blogs in Facebook, but the most suitable one is in the Notes application.

Facebook then imports all of your recent blog posts, and everytime you write new one they will appear in your news feed.

Twitter

Again, lots of options for syndicating blog content to Twitter. We use a Worpress plugin called Twitpress by Thomes Purnell. It’s very easy to install and set-up. There are undoubtebly other plugins out there for other types of blog software.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn has several blogging applications that are very easy to use. Click here to access the WordPress app on LinkedIn

Starting to understand Twitter

by JC on November 25, 2008 · 0 comments

in Media

I’m only now starting to understand the usefulness of Twitter. Initially, I just thought it was about updating status, and whilst I think some kind of centralised online journal that plugs-in to every other communication tool (email, IM, Facebook, etc) would be useful, there is a lot more to Twitter than just status updates. Used properly, it is probably the most social of all the social networks and allows individuals and businesses to connect with people in more meaningful ways.
