If you haven’t embraced social media, maybe these 10 reasons will show you why you need to care.

Cross The Digital Divide on Friday, August 8th at 3pm Pacific time when we’ll spend 30 minutes discovering how to syndicate our content in Facebook.

If you have a blog, you have the heartbeat to sharing your message with the world, in my humble opinion. Now, add a Facebook page and you have the beginnings of a megaphone on the Internet.

In this 30 minutes you’ll discover how to:

• Post to your blog once and share it several places
• Share your photos and videos
• Use widgets to keep your website or blog visitors "in the know"
• and maybe a few more tidbits….

So, sign up to Cross The Digital Divide with me on Friday, kick your shoes off, grab a beverage of your choice and learn how to spread your passionate message across the Internet.

I’ve been knee deep in Facebook for almost three months now. I have two twitter accounts, Magic In Blogging and North San Diego Business, well three but I’m hoping to combine the two into the third. I have a YouTube, Digg, Delicious, Flickr and my favorite microblogging service, Plurk. Then there’s my various instant message accounts. Wow, what’s a girl to do??

To post to any of my social sites used to have to open the sites in individual tabs in my FireFox browser. What a hassle! Obviously, I wasn’t the only solopreneur to experience this problem.

I’ve been know to download and test almost anything, so I’ve been testing Social Media "assistants", for lack of a better term. I thought I’d start sharing them with you.

Today, my share is Digsby.

What Do I Like About Digsby?

One of the biggest advantages to me, with two Twitter accounts is the ability to add more than one Twitter account. It easily offers me the opportunity to update my status without having to go to a browser. I can keep up with Facebook requests, notifications, as well as tweets and Facebook, AOL and Google Instant Messages.

I can customize the skin and send files, similar to Skype.

What Don’t I Like About Digsby?

It doesn’t include my favorite microblogging tool, Plurk.  It also doesn’t incorporate my YouTube or Flickr account. That would make it just about perfect.

Is Digsby Right For You?

I don’t know, you’ll have to take a look at it compared to other Social Media widgets/gadgets/assistants. Keep tuned and I’ll share what I’ve been working with, including widgets, FireFox addons (because I don’t use IE) and other tools I find here and there.

So, tell me, how are you managing your various profiles? Share by commenting below. Tomorrow, I’ll share with you another Social Media tool.

Sharing an article on social networking tips and tools. If you need help, contact me and we’ll put a plan together. Maintaining a strong social presence can be difficult with so many services out there. There is, however, a solution. Read this guide on tips for how to streamline your social media world so that you don’t spend hours each day updating.

Join me tomorrow, July 25th, in my online classroom and learn about finding content and marketing your business with YouTube.

As I talk about blogs and blogs marketing, I’m often asked about the different strategies you can use to find something to post about. One of my favorites is YouTube. I’ve spoken to groups about using Linkedin as a marketing tool and found really great videos to support my talk at YouTube.

Tomorrow I’ll show you how to search YouTube and grab the code you need to post video to your website. I’m also here to answer your YouTube questions. So grab a beverage of your choice, pull up the conference room, put your feet up and let’s cross the digital divide together.

I’m inviting you to Cross The Digital Divide with me tomorrow at 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern to chat in my online classroom  about You Tube.

I look forward to sharing with you, and answering your questions about how you can promote your business online. If you’d like to ask a question prior to our webinar, feel free to contact me directly.
