Social Optimisation - MyBlogLog or BlogCatalog
There have been many articles written surrounding the development of MyBlogLog and BlogCatlog. To read some of these articles you would think there was a battle royale being fought between the two sites.
They are both competing to attract internet users, particularly bloggers and their blogs. What is interesting to note is that many bloggers are actually using both sites to promote themselves and their blogs. Whilst the MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog may feel they have to compete, the winners are the blog owners to continue to reap some of the benefits of their development.
Most web site owners, particularly bloggers, spend a lot of time at social bookmarking sites such as Digg and StumbleUpon. If they spent an equal amount of time at MBL or BC they could possibly reap even greater rewards.
The reality is that most users on MBL and BC are also active on other bookmarking sites. However directories often provide a perfect place to start building your social reputation. Both MBL and BC are developing widgets showing visitors, posts, and other activities. These widgets can be placed in the sidebars or footers of your blog.
You can go along way with the social optimisation of your web site or blog. You can go even further if you work on the social optimisation of your time. Scotland may be thousands of miles from a lot of the online action when it comes socialising, however, given this digital age, you really are just next door.
