Be Sure to Vote for the Eighth Annual 2008 Bloggies

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Honor. Prestige. Wealth. These are some of the things that a Bloggie won’t bring you. But that won’t stop the Web from voting, because this is the annual non-profit competition that determines which blogs are the best of the best. Get ready to find out who the 2008 Weblog Awards are going to.

Be sure to place your vote on some very awesome and difficult choices at Eighth Annual Weblog Awards: The 2008 Bloggies

Check out Blah, Blah Tech’s WP plugin “Socialize Me!”

Imagine one of your articles has been submitted to StumbleUpon. You’re getting a steady stream of visitors to your blog. With this Wordpress plugin those visitors will see a simple message when they arrive: “Hi, thanks for the visit! Wayne’s on StumbleUpon, too!” with a link to your profile. It also works with Facebook, Digg, Pownce, Twitter, etc.

What I find to be even more exciting is that the people I generally want to ‘friend’ or follow don’t necessarily have their info showing on their blog, so with more people using this awesome new plugin, I have an even better chance of being able to find those people on the other social sites! For all of you bloggers out there, grab this plugin so I can follow you better! LOL yeah, right. But it was certainly worth trying, right?

You can download the plugin and learn all about it at Wayne’s blog, blah, blah technology.

Virtual Social Networking Conference

On January 24, from 8:00 AM EST to 8:00 PM EST, the second virtual conference for the Social Networking Industry will take place right here, online. To learn more, go to: SOCIAL NETWORKING CONFERENCE - January 31 - February 1, 2008 Miami

Thought I should at least take a minute to post about the Virtual Social Networking Conference tomorrow for anyone who may be interested… I hope to at least be able to pop in tomorrow to see what’s up!

Hawksdomain on 43 Things

Hawksdomain on 43 Things: One of my first online community experiences. This was the site I found that I love this Social Networking idea. I do not spend nearly as much time there these days, nor on the ’sister’ sites of 43 Things - 43 Places, 43 People, All Consuming, and Lists of Bests.

Any of these links will take you to see what I have done or want to do, where I’ve been or want to go, and who I’ve met or want to meet. By no means take any of this as all there is to know about Hawksdomain, because most of the content you will find there was entered in 2005 and 2006. I have updated a couple of items, but not a lot. Everything you find, however, is still accurate. I have made sure of that much!

I chose this site to be my opening post, as it was my first experience within this new age of society.
