Blogs and Social Networks Updates!
We wanted to list some of the coolest of updates on the best of Blogs and Social Networks and Internet related sites! Tonights show is going to go into detail on all the updates at our favorite Blogs and Social Networks sites and some other related networking sites :)
Listen into BlogsAndSocialNetworks.info our Updates Show or follow some of the links below:
First is Google :) GMail to be precise! Find out what has been keeping the GMail team busy by following this link:
http://mail.google.com/mail/help/about_whatsnew.html
To access the "what's new" at GMail Labs click the "Labs Tab" in the GMail settings while logged into your GMail account :)
This little blurb is found at the top and I thought it important to print it here as well:
"Gmail Labs: Some crazy experimental stuff."
"Gmail Labs is a testing ground for experimental features that aren't quite ready for primetime. They may change,break or disappear at any time.
If (when) a Labs feature breaks, and you're having trouble loading your inbox, there's an escape hatch. Use http://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0" Just in case anyone needed it :)
Buttons to Enable or Disable are listed right next to the desired new features (last check there was 42 current lab choices at GMail Labs).
Stevie uncovered the newness at MySpace as she went digging for the cool new features there and we will go into that bag of goodies on the show :)
Utterli.com, a podcasting "shout out" style Blog Social Network, has some great 2009 updates! Utterli has group calling, video processing improvements, an Utterli Desktop Application for Ubuntu.com Amazon Web Services site. Check out more on the show or visit the Utterli Blog.
Trusera.com is a brilliant one of a kind Health Social network that is in need of partners. As far as we see out there on the net, there isn't anything in the way of a competitive site, so investors check this one out :)
YouTube.com has some awesome new updates like the collaborative annotations where you can invite friends to also add speech bubbles, notes, and spotlights to your videos :) Listen into the show for more or follow the link below to the YouTube Blog:
http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=cfPYFjnzJIk
Link for information on watching YouTube videos with Windows Mobile and Nokia S60 phones.
Zimbio.com is still as cool as ever! The Interactive magazine - wiki - blog and article categorizer - super site! Named as one of the fastest growing sites by Nielsen, Zimbio is rocking the net :) Check out more updates on Zimbio at the company wiki:
http://www.zimbio.com/Zimbio
The biggest updates are a pruning really of some awesome ideas that are taking up a bit more time and space and not as needed as all that at present. Great ideas need to shed to skin along the way sometimes and Zimbio has chosen well:
"2/9/09
Features Removed:
* Covers (embedded cover images will still work, but you can't edit them or create new ones)
* Member Messages (drop an email to support [at] zimbio.com if you have questions for us)

No worries with the skimming off the top, the features that Zimbio offers are brilliant and you are indeed missing out if you are not yet signed up with the free to use Zimbio Blog, Article, Wiki Categorization Super Site!

Bookmarking Keyword Phrase Blogs and Social Networks

Friend based Social Bookmarking sites like Newsvine, MyBlogLog, Digg, and to some extent the "Sharing Factor" of Google Reader, focus on the "Social" side of bookmarking, interactivity between members :)
Technorati is in a league of its own I think when it comes to social bookmarking sites. Technorati has its own rating system to determine your blog authority. If you want to "run with the big dogs" like Tech Crunch, People, LATimes, Google, and Boing Boing, get busy at Technorati. All of the "how to", FAQs, etc is on the site. It may take longer to get acquainted with this Social Bookmarking Social Network, but if you are looking for Technorati Notoriety it is time well spent.
Sites like Delicious (and some others) run Tags or Keywords together with no spaces between the words to create a Keyword Phrase, I think this is not as effective for Keyword recognition. Searching terms, most people do not tend to run the words all together, so you may miss on visitors.
Here's a quick Keyword Tip: Camel Back your Keyword Phrase, Capitalize the first letter in each word of your 3 to 5 word Keyword Phrase. "Blogs and Social Networks", "Bookmarking Social Networks", "Social Bookmarking Sites" :)
Here is a short list of some other cool Bookmarking Type Sites we like:
Zimbio may not seem at first like a Bookmarking Site, but it will surely gain you exposure on individual blog style articles and posts. List your blog sites here at Zimbio and categorize each post into a Wiki and see the change in traffic :)
That is basically what the Social Bookmark Sites do, gain traffic to your posts and then sites in the end :)
Redditt.com
Mixx.com
Fark.com
Slashdot.com
BlinkList.com For all the web sites you want to get back to using Any computer! Something to check into for those who travel or use multiple computers :)
Bookmarking sites can be social or just for your personal link lists!
Furl.com is one for you personally as is MyBookmarks.com :)
So, there's Private Bookmarks, Groups, News Focused Sites, or the Multi Site Social Bookmarking Site like MyBlogLog.
Making up a list before you start looking for the multiple Social Bookmark Sites to find what end result you are seeking will help in your decision. Do you want a Bookmark Site for a list of saved pages so you can find them easily? or are you searching for ratings for your site? Take this list and whittle down starting with these two questions, you will quickly see which choices are best for you.
To find out even more on Social Bookmark Sites listen into our show Blogs and Social Networks Social Bookmarking or :)

Blogs and Social Networks Fun Niche Social Networks

We wanted to post a few of the more interesting and fun "Niche" social networks for everyone today beginning with a "blog" style social network Wikipedia "The Free Encyclopedia :)
Wikipedia is a directory of sorts full of information on just about any topic you can imagine (or you can create a topic of interest in a "wiki" format :)
Now, a "Wiki" format is nothing more than a "Blog" social network where many members of the Wikipedia Social Network Internet Nation get together and add relevant information to a category web space or "Wiki" so others can look up any subject to retrieve this information and share with their wiki buddies :)
And fitting to the post, we thought we would use the example of the word "Niche" and look it up on the Wikipedia directory for everyone.
"Niche
From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
A niche is the role of an organism in a habitat.
Niche may refer to:
* Niche (architecture), an ecedra or an apse that has been reduced in size
* Ecological niche, a term describing the relational position of an organism's species
* Niche market, a focused, targetable portion (subset) of a market sector.
* Niche, a sub-genre of UK garage music
* Niche Science & Technology A health care communications company"
There are links on this particular Wikipedia page that you may want to visit as well to find out more and topics ranging as far the mind can reach waiting for you to add what you know or to begin a whole new idea :)
Moving along to Life Blob. "Lifeblob is a revolutionary service that allows you to connect, not only with your friends and family members but also share your life with places. Lifeblob is a visual chronicle of your life...
* Capture the beautiful moments of your life on a timeline
* Connect pieces of your life with your friends and family
* View the intersection of your life with your friends and family
* View your life from various perspectives
* Replay your life, like a movie"
The Timelines are inspiring and quite ingenious, useful, and resourceful. The intersection of timelines is really fascinating. I felt going through school was "lacking" in this area of explaining while Thomas Edison was working on his inventions, he was also friends with Helen Keller. Now you to can intersect your life moments with your friends and family to share while you away times :) Sign in for free with your Open ID, Yahoo, or Google accounts.
Onto Strip Generator. What a fun creation site this is :) Tell a story with little strips or a sort of "cartoon" or newspaper comics style. Free to sign up and create.
An example of an individual Strip Generator site is Life Snaps by Matzuo. "Life Snaps ... also allows me to make images of my thoughts instead of writing 'em , I love it , just shots, shots of my mind, of my life."
"A social networking-ish site for college students only." Called LymaBean :) Listen into their awesome "helper" video, it will get you sailing with the LymaBean site in no time! Check out "Behind The Bean", the Blog, and Business or Investors links at the bottom of the page as well, very interesting :)
Many more Niche Blogs and Social Networks to come :)

Blogs and Social Networks Music Sites for Bands

Marketing the Band, Artist, or Musician, Rock Star, Group, Photographer, Singer or Songwriter online with Blogs and Social Networks will take time, patience, and perseverance ... a little bit each day, one step at a time :)
Depending on your budget of time and money, you can market your band 100% free (more time spent) or 50% free (financially more, a bit less time spent) ( fast tracking the blog platform (around 10 dollars or less a month I think) at a site like HostGator.com. They will "host" your Wordpress blog so that advertising will not be misconstrued as "spam" :)
Secure the domains (Your Band Name.com) from a site like GoDaddy.com all if you wish or just dot com (for your "main" site, the one you want most people to go to), dot info (for your blog), and dot net (for a big social network you choose) redirect these to the url from the blog, social network, or other site of yours.:)And check into getting the Trademark at USPTO.Gov/Main/Trademarks.htm
to "set your online security for your logo, name, etc. as yours :)
Starting your own Ning or Wetpaint social network at Ning.com or Wetpaint.com is an on-going project (a slow and go OR a fast action, get it up and running in a week sort of project, but not crazy important if you do not have the time because these sites take a Lot of time :)
Connecting Twitter to your Facebook (no, you cannot have a Facebook for your band, but you can have a Facebook profile for yourself, then start a "Group" for your band :) Keep your reach connected for a triple dose to Google :)
Ok, here are some of the coolest social networks geared toward Bands more than listeners (well, some listeners more, but I will let you know which is which :)
Let's start with HumbleVoice.com :) Humble Voice is a social network community of Artists and those who appreciate them. Yes, I said Artists (photographers, writers, singers, bands, fine arts, dance, painters, sketch artists, you name it :) This is an all inclusive artsy social network for the creative! Very cool site ... Two High Thumbs Up :)
PureVolume.com is a music social network to definitely check out if you are a band or musical talent to use to promote your sound.
MySpace.com (of course :) The number one Music Social Network for Bands!
indabamusic.com This is a social network for musicians and music professionals. Take a tour right from the home page even before you sign up for free. (Oh...All these social networks listed are a free sign up deal :) This site allows for musicians to work in online recording sessions mixing tracks anywhere in the World. Find Musicians, Get Hired, or Create Virtual Bands :) Mix and edit audio in browser with online music software and compete in online remix and collaboration contests :) Yes, this one sounds like a keeper, check it out!
LastFM.com being what it is, don't miss out setting up a profile here :) Last FM is a Staple, it has it's limits as all social networks do, but a definite music social network for bands to investigate and set up a profile at :)
FloTones.com is an artist or separate fan set up site, meaning you can sign up as either an artist or a fan (most music social networks offer this as an option, but this one is cool) Submit your indie content with a lengthy list of genre categories :)
iLike.com is semi-similar to ProjectPlaylist.com in being geared heavily toward the listener :) ProjectPlaylist has an embeddable widget player to take with you to your other blogs and social networks too :)
JamNow.com in Beta is Rockin' Looking :) You will need Mac, Vista or XP; DSL or Cable Modem; Sound Card or Digital Audio Interface to get up and running here. Register free as an artist or a fan. This one looks like a keeper as well :)
R4Media.biz is a free sign up "Your Social Network and Music Store". Sell/Buy Music, Upload Tracks, R4Media gives you a personal URL (many social networks do, but worth saying to keep you consistent, meaning MySpace.com/Wavecritter, I use wavecritter everywhere, you should always use your band name or the other major keyword or URL Domain name) to be consistent.
MusiciansFriend.com is not a music social network but the best in my book for online musician supplies :)\
MusoCity.com is an online community for musicians and artists and those who love them :)
imeem.com where artists, fans, and friends promote content and discover and share music. This site has an embeddable widget player to take with you to your other blogs and social networks too :)
To get more tips, sites, and suggestions on Music Social Networks for Bands listen into one of our Blogs and Social Networks Show on Music Sites :)

Blogs and Social Networks Christmas Blog Coolies

We found some super Christmas Blog sites out there (quite a few here at Googles Blogspot :) and we wanted to let you know what you can find at some of the great Christmas blog sites.
The first site to mention isn't a "Christmas blog" in itself, but they have an outstanding post on 10 Fantastic Christmas Inspired Tutorials that we thought very cool :)
MyInkBlog has a post of tutorial links for you to create your own Christmas Wallpaper, Creative Christmas cards, Christmas Greetings Postcards, Illustrations, Glittery Postcards, a tutorial link for drawing Christmas Trees, Santa Hats, Ornament Balls, and Christmas Backgrounds. Make hand designed Christmas cards for your friends and family with this handy link guide to some great tutorials.
The Spanish-Teaching.com/blog is a blog for Students and Teachers of Spanish. The Spanish Christmas calendar is more than worth the trip :) Here is but one of the interesting facts held in this site: "In Spain, it's January 6th that children receive their presents left by the Three kings (Los, Reyes, and Magos) rather than Father Christmas or Santa Claus." Nativity scenes are widely used in Spain and often brilliant in design.
Christmas4All.blogspot.com is really a 2007 Christmas blog site but very informative. With posts on How to Say Merry Christmas in different languages, Christmas Prayers, and a link to the GatewayToJesus (which houses some incredible Christmas Blog Stories. Link to Thoughts-About-God.com that has a great representation of the Christmas Story with an awesome graphic image to go with this post.
ChristmasSprite.com is a Christmas Blog Site full of Christmas History, Traditions, Wallpapers, Games, Lyrics, and much more. The Christmas History includes the First Christmas Card, Christmas at the White House, Chronology of American Christmas, and History of the Ornament. Here is a bit of this history here: In Germany, some people hide a pickle shaped ornament very well in the tree (hidden last) on Christmas morning whomever is the first child to spot this pickle gets an extra surprise gift!

Blogs and Social Networks Irene Kats Klassics

I have found a brilliant "Blog Style" Christmas themed site to help you in your gift giving decisions over this Christmas season :) Chock full of great articles on Christmas gift giving.
"10 Great Christmas Gifts For Teenage Boys
Did someone say teenage boys were easy to shop for? It might seem like that till you actually go to get them something only to find you’re in a state of confusion. Here are a few ideas to help make life easier during Christmas shopping time. For you and for him.
Jeans, because he could always use another pair. All you have to be careful about is to buy what he would like, not what you like. Get him a pair that’s similar to the style he usually wears and you’ll probably have made the right choice. It would help to find out what cut of jeans he currently wears.
A snowboard would make a perfect gift during winter if he doesn’t already have one. You could get one that’s very reasonably-priced and most teenage boys love the thrill of a new sport." READ MORE
Thanks and Kudos to Irene for the great ideas, information, and articles :) Merry Christmas!

Zimbio Blogs and Social Networks
Zimbio.com is one of the most unique and interesting sites exploding across the Internet today. The slogan says "An Interactive Magazine With Over 10 Million Readers a Month" and I second that and add "The most inventive, automatic, categorizer of articles and blog posts I have ever seen" :)
In essence, Zimbio collects all the posts (text, video, photo, etc.) from every members blog submitted to Zimbio by the member (and any additional articles, posts, photos, etc. these members submit directly to Zimbio), slot them out into Video Games and Gaming, Blogs and Social Networks, Google, Historical Fiction, PC Games, Philosophy Articles, Free Advertising, Generic MLM Info, Internet Marketing, Current Events in America, Quotes, Supreme Court Rulings, Historical Jesus, Twitter, Free Stuff and Freebies, Social Bookmarkmarking, the list here is extensive. Each individual "grouping" of the posts then falls into this "category" or Wiki :) That was also created by one of the members of Zimbio :)
Brilliant, unique, and very clever of the creators of this wonderful Zimbio network. Zimbio has a company wikizine, check out the feed:
