This is a incomplete, random list of tools I use with social networks. Not that I know what I am doing quite yet with social networks. It will take a while. I am just an app, software, and addon junky. So I look for software all the time and usually find something. Be sure and add your own in comments. I will probably try all of them.

This blog didn’t used to get very many comments. I have been using dofollow for a while but never got around to putting a banner up that stating that fact. This puts me in good company. Why not give back to people who comment on your blog by giving them a good link back to their site instead of basically slapping them in their face for their comment.
