Social Networking Must-haves

Social network is a great way to market your site and company for free.

Here are some must-have products to help you do that (also free):

Facebook.com - start a fan page for your company and each of your products.

Twitter.com - start a page for your company and each of your products.

Hootsuite.com - allows you to view facebook and twitter sites as well as competitor sites to help narrow who is saying stuff about you or your competitors products.

Klout.com - see what your klout score is. Generally you need a score of over 100 to hit the radar of most prominent "retweeters".

Bitly.com - register for an account here and use bitly urls instead of full urls that you can generate from within your bitly account to post on Twitter. Then by typing your bitly link followed by the "+" sign, you can see how many people have clicked on your link. You can reuse the links too, plus it lokos a lot neather and saves more space for content on your tweets.

Social Twist - go to http://tellafriend.socialtwist.com to get a downloadable icon allowing your website viewers a one-stop icon where they can repost to just about every social media site available.

I enjoyed your post. It’s a lot like college – we should absorb everything we can but ultimately you need to take what you’ve learned and apply it.
