You may have noticed that I now have twenty one little buttons at the bottom of each post. These are buttons for subscription services and social tagging sites. I noticed that a few sites that I watched are adding these tags to make it easier for people to subscribe to their blogs. Some of the buttons allow you to directly tag a story or post I put here directly to a site. Last night I signed up for each of these services and I noticed that there are now 8 people subscribed to this blog according to feedburner. That is crazy, yesterday I had 1 person subscribed.

Button #1 Feedburner – I have been using this service for a while now and I like it, it tracks how many people are subscribed to your blog and gives me general information on my readers. The best thing about Feedburner is that it tells me what Feed Readers and Aggregators my subscribers are using. And since I added all the buttons I was able to make this site friendly to subscribers who are using many different Feed Readers and Aggregators.

Button #2 <a href=”http://reddit.com/submit?url=&title=”>Reddit

<a href=”http://reddit.com/submit?url=&title=”>Reddit – reddit is a source for what’s new and popular on the web — personalized for you. Your votes train a filter, so let <a href=”http://reddit.com/submit?url=&title=”>Reddit – reddit know what you liked and disliked, because you’ll begin to be recommended links filtered to your tastes. All of the content on <a href=”http://reddit.com/submit?url=&title=”>Reddit – reddit is submitted and voted on by users like you.

Button #3 – <a href=”http://www.linkroll.com/index.php?action=insertLink&url=&title=”>Linkroll – Linkroll – I can’t seem to get this one to work. Is anyone using this?

Button #4 – <a href=”http://www.newsvine.com/_tools/seed&save?u=&title=”>NewsVine – Newsvine –

Placement of stories is determined by a multitude of factors including freshness, popularity, and reputation. Contribution is open to all, and editorial judgment is in the hands of the community.

So, this blog may not have anything that is as newsworthy as those publications.

Button #5 <a href=”http://kinja.com/id.knj?url=”>kinja – Kinja – Using keywords or tags you can search for blog articles that have those specific tags. So if you like transformers you can type in that tag and see all blog posts with that specific tag. You can also tag your favorite sites and follow their posts.

Button #7 – <a href=”http://www.givealink.org/cgi-pub/bookmarklet/bookmarkletLogin.cgi?&uri=&title=”>Give a Link – Give a Link –

GiveALink is a social bookmarking site where people can donate their bookmarks to the Web community and to science. As an ongoing academic research project, our goal is to analyze bookmark files to build new Web mining techniques including new ways to search, recommend, personalize, and visualize the Web.

We do not use tags, page content, nor links from submitted Web pages. Instead we use the hierarchical structure in individual bookmark files, when present, and collaborative filtering across users to measure semantic similarity of pages. Simply put, if many users bookmark two pages and put them in the same folder, the pages are probably related somehow; if they don’t, they’re probably less so. We then use this similarity to provide recommendations and a search engine.

Registered users may view and maintain their personal bookmark files online, as well as get personalized search results and recommendations based on their submitted bookmarks.

This is one of most interesting concepts. You send this site your bookmarks from your web browser.

Button #8 – <a href=”http://www.igooi.com/addnewitem.aspx?self=1&noui=yes&jump=close&url=&title=”>igooi – igooi –

Button #9 <a href=”http://www.hyperlinkomatic.com/lm2/add.html?LinkTitle=&LinkUrl=”>hyperlinkomatic – Hyperlinkomatic –

Hyperlinkomatic is a smart alternative to dumb lists of favorites and bookmarks.

You can grab links, makes notes, set multiple categories, search links, import links from web pages, upload bookmarks, create bookmarks files, share links, publish links. It is, in short, a place to keep your links.

After all, the net’s bigger than a favorites list. And it’s not getting any smaller…

This one seems like it will be pretty cool.

Button #10 <a href=”http://www.gravee.com/account/bookmarkpop?u=&t=”>gravee – Gravee –

rom anywhere, too. On del.icio.us, you can use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders.

You can also use del.icio.us to see the interesting links that your friends and other people bookmark, and share links with them in return. You can even browse and search del.icio.us to discover the cool and useful bookmarks that everyone else has saved — which is made easy with tags.

This site is very popular.

After you submit content, other people read your submission and Digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of visitors to see.

This site is so popular right now, the concept is simple. You like it, you Digg it. The more Diggs that are given to a story the more popular it becomes. So if you like a post of mine Digg! it.

Button #15 <a href=”http://www.feedmarker.com/admin.php?do=bookmarklet_mark&url=&title=”>Feedmarker – Feedmarker –

Feedmarker lets you bookmark items from the Web and read RSS and Atom feeds. It also lets you organize all your stuff (feeds and marks) using an open tagging system.

This sound interesting.

So that is an explanation of all the buttons. I signed up for each service that I could. Not sure if I’m going to give up on my bookmarks on my browser or put those bookmarks out there for the world to see. I thought it would we easy for anyone using any of these services to get links to this site. Enjoy.
