Are You Looking For Blog Tools

Since I want to include all I can about the Social Bookmarking and socializing sites as a way to promote your blogs and to get your name out there, I spend some time each day looking at sites.  I found this website today that can save all of us some time.  I want to thank the blogger that I found on Digg for doing all of this research.  This was taken from this blog:  http://www.dulcenegosyante.com/social-marketing-goldmine-top-100-social-networking-sites

The list is from January 2008, so a lot might have changed since then.  I know that there are going to be huge changes in the future for Social Sites.  The rumor of the Google and Digg buy out is getting stronger every day.  This is going to have some huge impacts on the way we look at SEO if everyone who is predicting all this is correct in what they think will happen.

Some people have really positive ideas and suggestions as to what can happen and of course others are negative.  Only time will tell who was right.  In the meantime, it is never too late to get out there and make some new friends.

This is the list of top 100 social networking sites sorted by popularity according to Alexa ranking with their Google PageRank.

I was told today that the term USA is out of date. Maybe where they come from but not where I come from.  Some people from around the world do not understand our passion for patriotism and all that goes with it.  Flag waving, honoring the military, getting all sentimental when we see beautiful pictures of the USA, and celebrating our freedom is all a part of living here.  Also a tolerance and an acceptance of people who still arrive here from other countries is a huge part of living in the USA.  While some people are quick to point out what is wrong with the USA, we still see young men and women sacrificing their time and “freedom” to join the military and serve in foreign wars.  They give so we may continue all that we take for granted living here in the USA.

I love this video from Ray Charles and am going to share it for you to see in case you have not had that opportunity yet.
