Online social networking plays the important role in blog build. Online social networking is believed can boost blog popularity and rank in internet world. That’s because online social networking have so many niche potential traffic and also have some do-follow link in it. I can tell that if we choose the right online social networking to advertise our blog, the blog surely becomes bigger. Online social networking include social bookmarking, social networking, email (milist), microbloging, and others sharing site.
And what I found good about online social networking is that it allows others to advertise any blog. So, you no need to put your blog in online social networking by your self. There are many people will put your blog in online social networking if they think it worthy to share. Therefore, what you need to do is write the worthy posts and leaves advertisement to the blog readers. I am sure the worthy posts alone can do it, but it is not enough. We still need to encourage the readers to advertise our worthy posts. One of the ways is to put online social networking add link in each of our posts.

Therefore, I search in internet how I can put this online social networking link in this Blogging blog (letupdate.com). And eureka! I found there is one WordPress Plugin that suit my needs.

Bro… how about adding a bit more bigger icons from plugins like “Socialize” and “Digg Digg” ?
Yeah, i consider to add it.
I was earlier using this plugin, later removed it after getting wibiya. None of the social bookmark plugins, except tweet meme works for me. as people dont really use social bookmarking, My point of view its just waste of space.
Yeah, some of it seems not so effective.
There are so many social bookmarks plugin for Wordpress that we are spoilt for choices. I used to use Sociable but I had some problem of it not fitting in with my theme so I started using Social Bookmarks. I will check this Add to Any plugin also now and if it is worthy of changing too than sureshot I am in
Yeah, it is worthy to try.
I think sexybookmarks or Sociable plugin works better that this plugin..
You may be right, i will take a look of it.
