We have reviewed quite a few social media tools and community promotion software solutions similar to Digg (Pligg), but I think there are many things that Digg is doing right and they might keep a strong presence into the new era of social media and mobile social. Mobile community and geographical social awareness is on the way and it's only a matter of time before you drop into a starbucks and can say "hey" to a fellow digger identified by proximity. Will Mixx introduce new features that allow for a different user model and community than Digg? </p> <p>So do you Digg? </p> http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/topic/blinklist#post-18 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:13:55 +0000 admin 18@http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/ <p>Blink list was a favorite social bookmarking tool for many users not long ago.

B2B sites can also utilise social networking and social technology extremely successfully, creating a cutting-edge eternal social network or an interactive and sleek marketing and branding tool.</p> <p>Viewmy.tv is inspiring the Internet TV and social platform industry and knows that clients want more cutting edge web 2.0 functionalities to be available for both internal and external media communication and have come up with the perfect solution. Brandstation is an extremely innovative, social platform that can either act as a collaborative tool internally, a corporate social network or an external platform that acts as an extremely effective marketing and branding solution. </p> <p>For marketing and internal collaboration, a brandstation allows the business to take full advantage of web 2.0 features such as blogs, AJAX, forums, RSS feeds, tag clouds, shared calendars, wiki etc and creates an interactive and social environment for customers. It is a well known fact that consumers now expect to feel engaged and ‘apart of’ a brand, able to voice their opinion and feel they have a personal connection with that brand and ultimately influence. </p> <p>This is an innovative and potentially huge piece of social technology that could change the way businesses and corporations communicate with staff and customers alike. It is a natural progression from our consumer site and hopefully another milestone in our mission to provide internet video platforms and revolutionary social technology to the masses.<br /> It is time that businesses and corporations take note of the changing dynamic of the web and brandstation can offer the perfect client solution.</p> <p>Please check out the site for a free demo <a href="http://www.brandstation.tv/brandstation.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.brandstation.tv/brandstation.aspx</a> </p> http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/topic/remember-the-milk#post-12 Fri, 23 May 2008 01:03:10 +0000 Dallas 12@http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/ <p>RTM - Remember The Milk Beta<br /> <a href="http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-blog/social-platform/2008/05/remember-the-milk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-blog/social-platform/2008/05/remember-the-milk/</a></p> <p>I'm looking forward to what capabilities a toll like rtm and twitter could bring to the table. </p> http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/topic/google-friend-connect#post-11 Tue, 13 May 2008 21:22:45 +0000 admin 11@http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/ <p>Google Friend Connect looks to be an enabling tool that will change the way the average website operates in 2010.

Social, social, social....</p> <p>I just wanted to open up the discussion here on Second Brain. I like what I see thus far and look forward to more feedback. Any flaws and kudos due at this early stage?</p> <p>Blog Post:<br /> <a href="http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-blog/social-networking/2008/05/second-brain-social-content-bookmarking-networking/" rel="nofollow">http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-blog/social-networking/2008/05/second-brain-social-content-bookmarking-networking/</a></p> <p>I also noted and didn't mention in the blog post that there was a pretty strong presence on the private post actions. I think this is critical for anyone actually considering moving 100% to a online based tool for bookmarking. </p> http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/topic/social-media-blog#post-9 Sun, 04 May 2008 15:16:37 +0000 Dallas 9@http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/ <p>So it's not quite where we want to be in terms of design - but the social media blog is now online and I'll be a social contributor. I like the discussion capabilities here for social topics and general social media discussion - <a href="http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/." rel="nofollow">http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/.</a> And the social media blog will make it easy for people to respond via comments quickly to other social media items highlighted online.</p> <p>Social Media Blog - <a href="http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-blog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-blog/</a></p> <p>Perhaps the blog will even spur some new social media discussion just like the main social media articles. </p> http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/topic/mixx-social-sharing-and-discovery#post-8 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:45:23 +0000 Dallas 8@http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/ <p>I've been participating over at Mixx this month and even sumitted a few of the social media magazine stories.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mixx.com/">Mixx.com</a></p> <p>Mixx really is the most comfortable sharing and discovery site I've used in teh past year. Just think of it as Digg with the nasty people.</p> <p>Give it a shot if you have 2 minutes to setup an account. There are also many great social media submissions and experts on Mixx. Wouldn't it be nice to have a few of them participating here with social media tips and articles. </p> http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/topic/open-source-social-community-tools-for-cms-systems#post-7 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:35:17 +0000 Dallas 7@http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/ <p>And here's a few moer links related to the story: "Chris Pirillo and Adam Kalsy have announced they're working on a new, large scale open source CMS project that aims to "de-geekify" website tools.<br /> Techcrunch.com - Pirillo Starts Large Scale Community CMS Project<br /> <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/27/pirillo-starts-large-scale-community-cms-project/" rel="nofollow">http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/27/pirillo-starts-large-scale-community-cms-project/</a></p> <p>chris.pirillo.com<br /> <a href="http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/03/26/were-taking-an-open-direction-with-web-communities-are-you-in/" rel="nofollow">http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/03/26/were-taking-an-open-direction-with-web-communities-are-you-in/</a></p> <p>Gnomepal.org<br /> <a href="http://gnomepal.org/" rel="nofollow">http://gnomepal.org/</a> </p> http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/topic/open-source-social-community-tools-for-cms-systems#post-6 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:21:12 +0000 Dallas 6@http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/ <p>I recently looked into the availability of social tools for popular cms systems and found some promising updates related to some major open source content management systems.</p> <p>Best Open Source CMS Awards<br /> 1.

(I have not seen this share email but it's mentioned in the post)</p> <p>The social networking features are really impressive but social group controls aer critical if I plan to create social networks for both my public and private groups and know that I'll be able to control the whole thing once it's actually working. The pricing for "above free" levels of bandwidth and space would seem to be enough justification for giving group creators this additional control and making this the ultimate social networking tool. </p> http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/topic/ning-social-networks#post-4 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 23:24:31 +0000 admin 4@http://www.socialmediamagazine.com/social-tags/ <p>Ning (Ning.com) is a fast growing social networking site.
