If you use the FireFox browser you may be familiar with FireFox’s addons. One of the addons I use regularly is ScribeFire. ScribeFire can really help you with posting to your blog, or if you are like me and other bloggers, your blogs….

With ScribeFire you can set up your blogs in the admin area and when you are surfing the web and find a site, post, or article you want to reference, you simply tap F8 to launch ScribeFire.

With ScribeFire you can post to your blog, add images from your harddrive or Flikr and even videos from YouTube. You can categorize your posts, even use the timestamp to publish them at a later date. If you’re referencing other online sources, ScribeFire can be a great tool to use in leveraging your time.

If you have any tools you use to make your blogging easier, I invite you to share by commenting.

Penny Haynes, Commercial Creation Center, and I had a discussion about using audio and video in combination with social media as a way to leverage business on the Internet.

Penny took an informal poll over at LinkedIn, asking about which social networking sites other business owners and professionals used. The usual suspects were mentioned, in addition to a few that aren’t well know.  The sites discussed were:

• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Twitter
• Plurk
• FriendFeed
• YouTube

Bottom line, if you really want to maximize your social networking, it’s imperative that you gain your site visitor’s trust and multimedia can do that for you. It’s getting easier and easier to create audio and video. The Commercial Creation Center is a push button system to let you do just that, reach out to your community in a very personal manner.

If you are already using audio and video, feel free to share your experience, what has worked and what didn’t.
