Social Networking & REW Blogs

[Mark Z]

After I write a blog on REW on the bottom there is a tab that says "Social Networking" when you click on it, you have the option of bookmarking any of the 15 or so Social Networking sites. What exactly does that do for you? Would it benefit you to, bookmark all of the social networking sites or how does that work exactly.

[webmaster]

Social networking does not work if you are "self promoting" users of those services that come to respect your writing will use those services where appropriate to bookmark your work and also syndicate (read share) with their SOI thus increasing your reach and exposure.

Then how do we connect REW with Technorati, I know when I registered with Technorati, it asked something about pinging? How do we maximize our blogs to sync with other networking sites?

You mean claiming your REW blog with Technorati? I've actually been wondering if this is even possible. I have been trying to do it for a week now and it just won't work - Am I missing something?

Yea, I have been trying to get the social networking sites to ping each other, to get the most exposure out of each blog, but have not had much success. Is the whole point to just write blogs on each networking site? I guess I don't get the whole thing??

Well - for the social networking sites that have RSS feeds, you wouldn't need to.. but writing more unique content in different places can only help ya.
