Since last time I updated this blog regulary social sites like Facebook and Twitter have become really important and popular. Facebook is #2 on alexa and twitter is on a decent #12. This means people use these sites, a lot of people.

So, if you are going to run a blog these days, you should utilize the potential that the sites gives. I have had a twitter account since the start of this blog, but I haven’t really used it. Now I have set up Twitter Tools, which updates my twitter status automatically when I write a new post with a link. I have also added Tweetmeme Button which counts all retweets my posts gets, displays the number + adds a retweet link below. You can see this button in the top left corner of my posts.

For a test period all retweets of my posts will get a trackback in the post itself.

I have made a page on facebook, where users can become fan of the blog. Also, I have added the Share on Facebook button, which will show the amount of times the post have been shared on facebook, and if you click it a pop-up will show, and you can share the post.
