The Social Media Love-In
Image via WikipediaDarren from Problogger held a Social Media Love-In at the beginning of this week where he encouraged all of his readers to post links to all the social networking tools that they use and to friend other comments. It was a huge success. Darren and his trusty assistant Lara then complied a list of 538 Problogger readers that use Twitter and has since done similar lists for StumbleUpon and Digg users.
My inbox has been swamped with notifications of people who are now following me on Twitter and Plurk and I have been having a great time checking out their blogs and reading their tweets and plurks.
Darren’s social media love-in has proven the immense power that social networking sites can have in connecting people with common interests. It will be interesting to see how many long lasting connections are made from this experiment and how many people will delete most of the people they added from their friends lists after the excitment has died down.

I saw your tweet about this. What fun! Too bad I missed it. Of course, it’s my own damn fault since I haven’t read any of my blogs all week and my biz/blog blogs for the past two weeks. Will check out the links at least.

Kat: Darren has promised to have another one later this year, but in the meantime, feel free to add people from the lists posted on Problogger.

I have something like that on my blog a few posts back. http://kidsofqueers.blogspot.com/2008/07/pass-it-on.html I’m not sure if it is the same thing but it seems like it. Its fun to watch and find new sites anyway.
