I often get a little confused when deciding what platform to build a social marketing campaign on. My first instinct is to use self hosted wordpress for a little bit of freedom but I could get the content indexed and ranked on search engines quickier by using Wordpress.com or Squidoo.
Then I was reading a post on Seth Godin’s blog about exactly the same problem, do I need facebook, myspace, bebo etc if I have my own blog?
There seems to be a built in RSS by Category function that I’d never heard about or relized was available untill I started looking for one.
Here’s an example, just change the category id, found in Admin,Manage,Categories of your wordpress blog.

So, A while back I was messing around with some stuff and I downloaded Flock, the social media web browser. At first I didn’t know what to do with it but now I’m getting the hang of it.
This is my first post from Flock to my Blog and is simply a test to see if it works. I was never a fan of firefox as the toolbars I downloaded left me with no space on my browser to actually see the websites.
My first reaction is that this is a great tool, it would also be great if it was possible to make Flock MyWorld templates that could to distributed out like wordpress templates. Maybe in the future this will be available.
One thing I do think will happen is that I’ll be posting shorter posts and more often, the rss feed reader is a great tool to help keep me up to date in the SEO world.
