List Of RSS Directories To Submit Your Blog Feed

Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by Zahid Lilani. 38

Every blog has an RSS feed, even websites have RSS feeds these days. Most of your blog readers will subscribe to your blog using an RSS feed because it makes it easier for them to read all your latest posts in their favorite RSS reader. You might not know but there are few RSS directories that solely exist to collect RSS feeds.

You can use these RSS feed directories to get more subscribers, increase the number of backlinks, and publicize your blog. I have tried to create a list that has good, legitimate and active RSS directories. Links below are direct submission links, you don’t have to register for any of these services though you might be asked for an email.

List Of RSS Directories To Submit Your Blog Feed

1 – Million RSS

So, Just who’s a Social Media Expert? – Shel Israel

Shel Israel is the author of Twitterville, a book I highly recommend you read because Isreal is a really good story teller and has penned a book that will go down as social media classic. He tackles being referred as social media expert during his speaking arrangements in his blog post and makes few points.

- Just because someone is referred to as a social media expert doesn’t mean he/she is one.
- Let the people decide who social media expert is and who is not.
- If you don’t know someone, doesn’t mean that person can’t be a social media expert.
- Someone else can be a better social media expert than you.

So… are you a social media expert?

Check Your Facebook and Twitter For Black Friday Deals

Posted on 13. Nov, 2009 by Zahid Lilani. 3

Thanksgiving is upon us and most people try to make a list of must have items around this time. I happen to be one of those people especially this year as I am in the market for a laptop.

An interesting piece on ABC News has prompted me to share this information with you.

- Online and offline retailers will leverage the social media to publicize deals.
- Black Friday deals will be followed by Cyber Monday

I have a feeling that this year, Cyber Monday will be bigger than Black Friday. Why? Deals!

People who miss out on black Friday will shop on Cyber Monday, the Monday following thanksgiving. Twitter and Facebook will be awash in deals from major retailers and people who have either missed out on black Friday or people who just can’t resist a deal will shop on Monday making Cyber Monday the biggest shopping day of the year.

Being a Twitter devotee, I have created a 2 Twitter lists, Black Friday Deals and Cyber Monday Deals. Follow my lists and you will not miss out on any Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals.

I will be looking out for laptop deals, let me know if you find something under $300 that is really worth $800, I will buy it a in a heartbeat.

Social Media Phone Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10

Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by Zahid Lilani. 1

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 will soon hit the markets as the first social media phone, at least that’s the idea behind marketing it. It is based on Android OS and will allow access to Android marketplace for application downloads. What really amazes me is the 8.1 MP camera with auto focus, face recognition, 16x digital zoom and video recording.

Do I really need a digital camera if I have this phone?

Best Social Media Feature:

- Facebook, Twitter, emails, photos, text messages – all gathered, so you don’t have to open loads of different apps to see what’s going on.

There is no release date but it is expected in the first half of 2010. This phone can become a killer if it is available to everyone, i.e. it is not limited to AT&T or Verizon.

Until it comes out, watch this nicely done Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 commercial
