My Social Network
I’m always looking for ways in which to make my life on the ‘net easier when it comes to sharing information. I blog, I Twitter, I Bookmark, I Facebook and I Flickr, I wanted a means in which I can share all thise without having to continuously maintain each and ever service I am with. Over the last week I have been adding plug-ins to my blog in which will:
- update Twitter and FaceBook
- get RSS feeds from Google Reader
- get my Flickr Photos
But I wanted to do more …
These are the tools I use:
How have I linked them together; this map will help visualise the linkage between each of the services.
Not only can I control these from any workstation but with the benefits of Internet connectivity via the iPhone I can twitter, wordpress, facebook and google from (almost) anywhere in the world which will keep me in contact with my social network.
I also use a some other tools which I havent contexualised in the above map; such as Technorati, Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools to assist with administration.
Where to next …
- YouTube?
nice article about facebook dude.don
i use everything but delicious (what is it?)
additionally… i am quite interested, as a “amateur” web designer i reckon it would be quite interesting to see how you do all that (code wise) as i am building a website of me own and, like i’ve said, use all those sites.
anyway back to it.

Hi James
Delicious is a social bookmarking website.
If you check out my links page you’ll notice I’ve integrated Delicious into my blog.
As to how I integrate these services together (wordpress->facebook, delicious->wordpress … etc etc etc). Many of these services provide snippets and widgets that you add to your pages; in other instances like facebook they offer integration by adding a link to that particular service. I’ve found the intergration useful in sharing information I like without having to manually duplicate it through each and ever website I utilise; plus helps bring traffic to my blog.
