I recently videotaped an informative panel on Social Media for business hosted by the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce. Moderated by Ellen Leanse, a social media strategist with Google, the panel featured four guests speakers from LinkedIn, Yelp, Social Media Networks and hi5 Networks.
I’m a big proponent of two things, one is using social media technologies to greatly amplify the impact of your videos, another is the Wordpress blogging software that is great for constructing entire Web sites. This post is going to allow me to focus on both of those.
Let me bring to your attention a fantastic Wordpress plugin called Sociable from Yoast.com .
Simply put, this plugin allows you to automatically add a row of buttons beneath your blog post or page that users can click on to forward your content onto one or several of the social media sharing sites like Digg, Facebook and Twitter. There’s even an option making it simple for a site visitor to email your blog posting to a friend. The Sociable setup screen allows you to choose which social media sites you want your site visitors to be able to select from, it couldn’t be any easier.
I’ve just recently added this plugin to the Crow Digital Media blog
