StumbleUpon, YouTube and MySpace – Social Media Mega Project
I am proud to announce the official launch of the Social Media Mega Project, a huge group writing project for social media enthusiasts. Credits and applauses go to Vivien, who had the idea and organised everything.
Several bloggers are hosting group writing projects on specific social media sites. Visit their blogs, read the instructions and submit your articles.
Which social media sites can I write about?
* Twitter (Hosted by Isabella Mori)
* LinkedIn (Hosted by Isabella Mori)
* Mixx / Propeller / Squidoo (Hosted by Pearl)
* Sphinn (Hosted by Simonne)
* del.icio.us (Hosted by Aaron Stroud)
* Flickr / Zooomer / other photo-related sites (Hosted by Brian Auer)
* Technorati (Hosted by Monica)
* Facebook (Hosted by Ina)
* Second Life (Hosted by Dandellion)
* Sk*rt / BVibes / Blogging Zoom (Hosted by JHS)
* Digg / Reddit (Hosted by Vivien)
* StumbleUpon / YouTube / MySpace (Hosted by yours truly)
What are the rules?
1. Write a post on your blog and tell us: how you integrate StumbleUpon or YouTube or MySpace into your blogging; your good or bad experiences; how you would compare those social networking sites to others; what you like or don’t like about them; how you benefited from becoming a frequent user of those sites; what secrets you have learned about them; what tips or warnings you would like to inform others about.
2. Contact me with your name, email and a permalink to your post. If you don’t have your own blog, you can always write a guest post on my blog.
3. Once I collect the links from all participants and publish them on my blog, you can write another post and link to either all or only your favourite articles by other bloggers. I strongly recommend that you don’t limit yourself to simply posting a link list; write short reviews instead. Your readers — and fellow bloggers — will thank you for this.
4. You are allowed to contribute only one article per project/site. You are more than welcome to visit other participating blogs that host projects dedicated to different social media sites and take part in those projects by submitting your articles about other social networking sites.
5. No profanity, no insults, no plagiarism. Be nice.
What about the deadlines?
All group writing projects start today, January 21st, 2008 and end on February 22nd, 2008. Results will be published on February 25th, 2008. Final collaborative results will be available at Inspiration Bit on February 29th, 2008.
Any additional instructions or suggestions?
Yes, I’d like to add some comments and tiny bits of information.
First of all, you don’t need to be a specialist in any of those sites. You’ll have a whole month to open accounts, start using them, build relationships and get used to their communities. Of course, if you’re already an experienced user I’d love to hear from you. But if you’re a beginner, I’d love to hear from you too. All points of view are welcome, as long as the rules are respected.
Secondly, I should let you know that I’m going to publish my own articles on StumbleUpon, YouTube and MySpace on this blog before February 22nd, 2008.
Finally, if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment on this post and I’ll do my best to help you.
Happy networking and happy writing! 
642-845 usually lead these social media projects. Rarely 1z0-042 would raise a voice. However with 642-552 it is possible. 642-436 professionals always give opportunities to their juniors i.e. 70-272 in social media projects.

Hello Karen,
Did you receive my e-mail, with a stumbleupon post of mine, a few weeks ago? Send me a reply if you haven’t so I can re-send it.

Hi Tibi,
Yes, I got your submission. It seems you haven’t gotten my email about it. Just in case, I’m going to send you another email.
