Zimbio Can Be Powerful
So, if you read my blog, you know that I’m loving everything Web 2.0, right? I mean, it’s fun, it’s fascinating… what’s not to like?
Last week, I downloaded the Bend the Web toolbar for Firefox, and whoa. Very, very cool. Howie Schwartz & Jack Humphrey teamed up on that one, and it rocks! If you don’t use Firefox, I think there’s another version, but you should check it out.
What it does is list all the Web 2.0 stuff that’s out there. There are bookmarks for bookmarking, bookmarks for networking sites, Conent sites, and video. It also has an email alerter and a radio built right in and you can get to the programs you use a lot on it. You even get to pick them! Great toolbar, guys!
So, anyway, to Zimbio, right?
I’m checking out the content sites today and I wasn’t familiar with Zimbio at all. But wow! I can see where it can be uber powerful. Every time I make a blog post, Zimbio will pick it up and decide what Wiki it should go into. It’s immediately syndicated, providing of course, that it meets the criteria of one of their Wikis. Internet marketing? No problemo. The post I did yesterday went up in WordPress. Not too shabby. Check it out: http://www.zimbio.com/WordPress/articles/441/Blogging+Mother+Lode?add=True
And if you liked it, give it some Zimbio love in the form of the Kudo Surf! (It’s in the article’s right-hand sidebar under my picture.)
In fact, set up your own Zimbio account. It’s free, and I can see that it’s going to be lots of help. Sure, sure, it’s dupe content, but you have to consider that it’s exposure. I figure that the more exposure you get online, the better off you are.
Tomorrow, I’m planning to further my exploration. There are three or four other content sites I never heard of in the toolbar, and well… Bob’s yer uncle.
Was my uncle until he died. Good old Uncle Bob. He was fun, too. Dang.
