Project SNSO: Social Network Shout Out

I’ve had a really exciting idea growing in my head for about a week now.  I guess it germinated when I overlooked giving some credit for an idea on a previous post.  Since then, I’ve been more aware of the people involved in stuff that I find interesting.  To that end, I wanted to give back a bit.

For the next few weeks I am going to concentrate on different social networking applications and the people I have met on them.  I’m going to write to my strengths by focusing on presenting a primer of the service in the first of each article, and the people in the second half.

I hope to have my first article written tonight or tomorrow.  I will follow up every three or four days, and continue until I’ve covered all the services I use actively.  After that, I may follow up as I get involved in a new community.

Please feel free to speak up, suggest a community I may have forgotten about, or even if I missed you!  Obviously, following hundreds of people on certain networks means I can’t give everyone equal time.  But not to worry, I promise to really make an effort to find really quality folks.  ;)

  • I'm looking forward to your discoveries. The joy of social media, to me, is finding an ever expanding universe waiting to be explored.
  • Thanks NFF. I agree - it's been a really interesting few months for me, as the number of great people I've been exposed to on Twitter and FriendFeed have grown.
  • I will simply live vicariously through you social networking, and play video games.
  • But I love video games too! Who will be my social networking filter? haha
  • Hey Phil I found a new toy for ya. I am not sure if you have seen it already, but its called Firefly. It enables chat on websites and offers Twitter integration. http://firef.ly/
  • I keep getting friendfeed traffic, so I got an ID, but don't tell anyone.
  • Ok. It's our secret.
  • Interesting idea J. Looking forward to what you discover!
  • Thanks Justin! And thanks again (indirectly) for inspiring this project. :)
