2. Tubemogul.com Very cool, you upload your videos to one place, and they are automatically syndicated to up to 20 others in optimized format, including Youtube and Google video! You can track statistics about your videos and do all kinds of cool things, a must have for video bloggers.

3. Veoh.com Like TubeMogul, Veoh allows you to fill in a couple of usernames and passwords for Youtube and Google (but not as many), but Veoh has a very robust and attractive video player which displays the video nicely on your website, and allow for channels that make it very easy to show a streaming medleyof videos that you group together. We have had some issues with loading slowly at times ( with their explosive growth is size), but they are worth looking at for aesthetics, and we still use them some. In some cases you want the videos to be hosted and played on your website streaming right from Youtube for the sake of the rankings boost you get from the click-through traffic.

4. Realtown: Realtown is owned and fed by the owners of Real Estate Magazine (RISMedia.com), Epro, Lowes, InternetCrusade and many other established icons in the Real Estate industry. they have just re-done their site (went live in October) with new modern social networking features, and they are about to become the forums and local news areas for RISMedia.com with their new site launch. Any group at Realtown will rank immediately for longtail searches, just as those areas of RISMedia.com do now: I know this because I was consulted on how to insure that, and I tested it last week in my first post: it took less than an hour! They have established a way of dividing up neighborhoods by population instead of Zip codes, and they are about to go live in the communities area. I encourage the reader to join, join a group, heck start one, get into the Realtown store while there is room! What they are attempting to do (the grass roots localization of the web) has been attempted before, but I believe they have the resources and the software to pull it off, and they will have the reach any minute!.

5. Plaxo: Plaxo is kind of an online open-social contact management hub, which recently added profiles and many modern features to its already accessible from anywhere excellent Internet based contact management application - you can import your contacts from Outlook, Linkedin, Google, Yahoo and others - then sync them with the same and your cell phone, so that you can always stay in touch with many interactive features and restore everything at will - wonderful -plugs right into my Outlook.

6. Meetup: Social networking with the whole world at will, with actual local meet up events and clubs in person, great, I have contacted and secured businesss here and it is free. Why re-invent the wheel, start your local leads or affinity group here: it can feed your website, and you will rank instantly on google for the name of your profile!

14 of the 15 recomendations from last year still apply: we must have picked them well: here they are:

7. Activerain - social networking profiles and blog for Realtors and vendors
Most people do not notice that you do not need to be a Realtor to join, you can be a vendor like me, and the profiles and blogs are not bad for Search Engine Placement link-building campaigns.

8. Alexa - Traffic and Website Statistics and Archived Information and Reviews
An Amazon.com company, we use it to get quick information about any website according to everyone who has the Alexa toolbar - which collects a wealth of information and statistics. They also archive old websites, and provide links to reviews on amazon.com.

9. Associated Content - Associated Content is a buyer and seller, syndicator of user-generated, user-filtered content
One of the most successful and well traveled sites on the web, this site is a must for branding and link building: your clout and pagerank build as an author - you can even get paid for content, although that is not what I use it for.

10. Delicious - social bookmarking, link-sharing
You install a toolbar that allows you to keep a set of favorites online where you can access them from any computer, and share them with the world, if you like, as an online resource. Excellent for traffic building and link-popularity, I recommend that you add and use the toolbar.

11. Digg.com - social bookmarking popularity-driven site:
This site is great for traffic-building for your articles and blogs, and also for link-popularity for your main site and blog: users submit, describe, review, and rank each others preferences. It is also great for getting real-time feedback on what people actually like and do not like about what you and/or others who write stuff that you read may have to say.

12. Feedburner - a feed aggregator that allows you to monitor various statistics about your feeds,
make them available in every format to your visitors, even sell advertising fed into the feed.

13. Google Adwords Keyword Tool - find out what words are searched for, and how much competition there is to rank for those words
To use it intelligently, you must understand the concept of pack mentality: we track trends in key industries like real estate and get to where the market is going first; many Realtors search daily for the same things, but they are not always each others target market - so be careful how you interpret the results from such tools.

14. Google Friend Connect :
Google Friend Connect instantly awakens and strengthens the community that visits your site by enriching it with social features.

15. Linkedin - most well-known business-to-business social networking site
Linkedin was originally for job and employment placement services - it is a very full-featured business-to-business networking site.

16. Mybloglog.com - Blog syndication, networking, tracking, resources, and communities
Everyone with a blog should be here, and I highly recommend some of their tools, like the one that lets you see who has read this lately at the right of this page! I visit and network with them!

17. Myspace.com - the most well known social media site
If you thought is was just for kids, think again: the average age is over forty, and a profile here can be used for link-popularity and business networking, not just dating and file sharing!

18. www.socialmarker.com - Instant Book Marking Tools Online
Social bookmarking is a powerful tool in promoting a website. But going through all of those social bookmarking sites is very time-consuming and downloading all toolbars is madness. That’s where SocialMarker.com comes in, the free service designed to reduce the time and effort needed to socially bookmark a website.

19. Stumbleupon - another social bookmarking site very useful for traffic building:

20. Technorati.com - a blog, news and file sharing aggregator
Another must for bloggers: you can tag your posts and make them available to millions by keyword search

20. Yahoo! Answers - Home

Yahoo! Answers is a new way to find and share information. You can ask questions on any topic, get answers from real people, and share your insights and Knowledge.

21. Facebook : Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.
