Get Seen - Leaving comments gets your name out there. People start to recognize you. If they recognize you,

More Reasons Not to Buy Our Software

Chris Lang is running an unbelievable contest over on his blog. He's giving away a copy of his book, a ton of extra goodies, a 90 day subscription to our software, and a bluetooth headset. You don't have to buy anything, just do a little bit of analysis.

All you have to do is come up with a feature that we should add to the PMS Social Suite. The person submitting the best sugges [...]

Stalking Small Game on Digg

Don — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 22:00:00 +0100

A while back we wrote about Stalking Big Game on Digg. We pointed out that the PMS Social Suite had an easy way to load the Top 100 and Top 1000 Diggers. Friending them consists of just selecting them in the Find Friends grid and clicking Go To Page. The application will automatically open a tab with each user's profile for you. Just click on the tab and click Add Friend and you're their friend.

If you're an existing customer of the PMS Social Suite, you've noticed some huge changes. Yes, we got the latest version out yesterday. It's chock full of new features. But we don't want you to buy it from us.

Death to Robots!

What's more important is what this version is missing. We took all the robots out back and shot them.

Really. All the rob [...]

Digg is on a Banning Rampage

ltdraper — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:00:00 +0100

Digg has been on a banning rampage lately. The most famous digger to get banned has been Zaibatsu. The first glimpse of what Digg was up to came when Brian Cuban was banned. By the count in our database this morning, there have been about 600 users banned in the last week or so. That figure could be a little off -- we may not have researched someone for a few months -- but it shows the magnitude of wh [...]

Don — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:00:00 +0100

We're starting to add data from Social Blade on the Top 100/1000 Diggers to our PMS Social Suite. As they say, their data is only an estimate, but it seems to be a widely accepted measure for the Top 100 and Top 1000 Diggers.

The first place you'll see this is on our Add Friends tab in the freemium version. Scroll over to the right and you'll see a new column in the results grid: Rank. If it's [...]

Take Advantage of your Opportunities for Communication in Social Media

Don — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 22:00:00 +0100

You should seriously consider effectively communicating with the people that follow you on Twitter.

There's a twitter account called RU4real that claims to be an experiment. Here's the only thing they've tweeted:

DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ACCOUNT. It is an experiment to see how many people read the pages of the people they follow. You are a tool.

The problem is that this exper [...]

The Right People on Social Networks

Don — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0100

Social Sites like Digg are like being in high school all over again.

You really have to keep that in mind when you're coming up with a strategy of how to promote your content on these networks. If you're just starting out, you're sitting with the geeks in the cafeteria, and the cool people aren't going to pay much attention to you. It will take a long time (at least in internet time) to carefully craf [...]

How to Block Obnoxious Digg Shouts

ltdraper — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0100

Sometimes your Digg friends just don't know when to quit.

We've all seen the person that seems to have just discovered the shout button and sends us 20 spams, er shouts, a day. We've been smart enough to turn off the email notfication for new shouts, but it's still clogging up our shout pages.

We don't want to lose them as a friend, because frankly they send good stuff once in a while and they d [...]
