Update: This will close after 24 hours - read more about why here.
Today I want to try something a little different and want to invite you to share your social media profiles with us (please read the ‘rules’ below before participating).
- Are you active on social media sites?
- Do you want to find more friends and followers?
- Do you want to find other bloggers to follow and network with?
If so - you’re not alone and I want to give you an opportunity to do just that.
Today I want to do something that could get messy (I reserve the right to close this down if it does) - but could also be a lot of fun.
In comments below - leave links to any of your social media profiles that you want to promote. Once you’ve done so - start adding others on the list! This will only work if people make connections rather than just promote themselves.
I don’t know what will happen when we do this but I do know that we all have one thing in common here - we want to build better blogs and we all read ProBlogger. So why not build on this and see if we can work together on social media?
The ‘Rules’:
- You must include the word - ’social media’ in your comment. This is simply so that we can find any of your comments that get caught in our spam filter. If you don’t include it your comment may not appear.
- You can use html in the comment to make your links live (this will make people finding your profile pages easier)
- So that we keep some order to this - please limit your links to 10
My Links:
I’ll kick us off with some of my own.
- Twitter
- Plurk
- Digg
- Facebook
- StumbleUpon
- YouTube
- FriendFeed
- LinkedIn
- Delicious
Some are more active than others.
Now it’s over to you. I hope this works!
Update: WOW - this IS getting crazy. Please be patient with me as I work through all the comments in the spam filter. We’re getting there! Do remember to add others that you find and also include the words ’social media’ in your comment so we can make sure everyone is added.
Update 2: Due to the popularity of this I’m going to close it after 24 hours and then compile all the information into some pages that will make befriending people easier. Read more about that here.

A few months back here at ProBlogger I held a social media love-in experiment where I asked readers to submit their social media profiles so we could all get to know one another in different social media settings. The result was fantastic with lots of great connections.
We produced lists of bloggers who use Twitter, Stumbleupon, [...] [..] 
This is a guest post on targeting Social Media Sites is from Steven Snell. Steven writes about social media marketing at Traffikd.
Most bloggers recognize the incredible potential that exists with social media marketing. Many want to maximize the traffic they receive from social media, so they add a Digg button to their posts or sign [...] [..] 
The last 24 hours on ProBlogger have seen a lot of action around our social media love-in project that is currently running. Not only has there been a lot of action in the comments on that post but it’s driven up traffic and increased the numbers of emails that readers are sending.
Just now I scanned [...] [..] 
I don’t do many guest posts on other people’s blogs these days but this week I was asked to do one that I couldn’t resist. Kristen from Social Media Mom asked me to write something on Social Media and being a Dad.
My first thought was that it was all too hard - but I decided [...] [..]

If you spend much time on social media websites, I’m sure you’ve noticed that you tend to see many of the same websites and blogs on the front page [...] [..] 
In my last post I wrote that I’d just discovered that StumbleUpon had banned me.
I’m happy to announce that 1 hour and 44 minutes after posting that - I was unbanned.
How did it happen? I put it down to Social Media. Here’s the story:
I had a number of people Tweet me 30 or so minutes [...] [..]
