Social Media News Sites

There are hundreds of social media sites available for you to use. I've been using social media to spread the news and interesting stories I write as well as in promoting some products. There are also niche social media sites that can cater specific needs.

So what is social media? According to Wikipedia,

"Social media is information content created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies. At its most basic sense, social media is a shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content. It's a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologue (one to many) into dialog (many to many) and is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. Social media has become extremely popular because it allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships for personal and business."

There are actually different types of social media sites. My provided list here is categorized under the the social media news sites.These sites also involves human interaction - voting. The readers will be of judge to whether your story is helpful or not and likable or not. So, make sure that your story is interesting and truly helpful to others. =)

Some of the above sites have "nofollow" link attribute. For me, they are still considered as SE friendly. I also want traffic as well. =)

However, I also found an interesting list over the net from here... http://www.doshdosh.com/list-of-social-media-news-websites/
