Does it ever happen to you that you are working on a post and then someone else writes on the same subject? I find it happening to me very often and I end up feeling my post isn’t going to be as good and I won’t publish it! Just recently it happened twice with the same person – JohnTP, who has a post today on exchanging social media contacts.
I had this post sitting in my drafts for sometime now but I never took the time to publish it but seeing John’s post, I thought it might not be such a bad idea after all because he took the idea from Daniel Scocco who had done the same thing!
One of the reasons I kept it in the drafts folders was that I am not active on many of the sites I have joined. The only sites I check regularly are Stumble Upon, Digg, MyBlogLog and now Mixx. But here are some of the sites you might want to join me on.
Leave your contact info or profile url in the comments section so that other readers and I can also join you.

Because of spam, your comments with links will go in the moderation queue and I will approve them at my earliest. I’ve got to brave the yucky weather now as we have frozen rain and sleet and it is not very pleasant! Actually it is completely opposite of pleasant! Did I say I hate to drive in this weather? People forget to slow down and almost every main highway is clogged with accidents every few miles!

Great idea Pearl! I think we are connected in all of the networks that we share. I just did a post on Social Media Mania today at http://www.entrepremusings.com/index.php/2007/12/13/social-media-mania-whats-a-gal-to-do/. I’ve been trying to figure out the most effective way to get it Stumbled and Dugg but since I’m [insert word here] flying by the seat of my pants…it’s been a clunky process for me. Here are my links:

The one thing I wished someone had told me when I set up these accounts is that I wouldn’t be able to change my username. I plan to do a post on this eventually. Several of my sites identify me with the name babblesoft but that’s my company name. I prefer to go by my name or by entrepreMuse but now I’m stuck with my company name as my username. I guess I’d better be involved with the company forever then! :-)
