Day Eight - Social Bookmarking

Those former 30DCers are so smart! Today, we learned about another new tool that wasn't even thought of last year. This one, Social Marker, was developed by someone who participated in the Thirty Day Challenge last year. This way cool tool will submit sites to a myriad of social bookmarking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Twitter, etc. and save you hours of time.

Here's how you do it:

With the Social Marker on your toolbar, find the site you want to bookmark. Click on the Social Marker link and a page will appear, partially filled out with the important things from that site. Finish adding description and tags, then choose which sites you want to use. I wouldn't choose all of them - might be frowned upon by the spam police - and click submit. Social Marker then walks you through each of the sites you've chosen. SM has a header and footer in your browser so you can navigate easily to each of the sites and all your submission information is in the footer where you can copy and paste easily to the submission pages.

How cool is that? I submitted my second and third articles to Propeller, Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, and Twitter in less time than it took to write this post!

I love this...and will use it for other things in the future, I know!
