OK, folks. We've got a new contender to add to our list of social tagging / collective bookmarking sites. In SEO, the more the merrier, but in that industry, you're only as strong as your community. Shoutwire (the newcomer) is pretty cool, though. Cool enough that they've already suffered through a spam attack by rival Digg users (who feel threatened?) - very odd stuff.
So, a list of social tagging sites now includes:
- Del.icio.us
- Digg
- Furl
- Shoutwire
- Oh, and there's a heap more in the also-ran category
If they can all send traffic, then I'm a fan of all of them.
I have posted it before, but making printer friendly pages is very easy with CSS. Are the new pages going to be CSS? If so, just make a CSS-file specifically for the printer, and all pages can be printer friendly.
The "shell" (header, nav, breadcrumbs, footer, etc) of the next version of seomoz will be done in pure css, but unfortunately many pages inside the shell will remain a nasty mess of nested tables and inline html attributes.
It'll definitely have a blog search feature.
I'm not sure if it'll have printer-friendly versions of the articles. It wouldn't be too tough to strip out the header/footer of the page and make a lighter version of every article.
Wow, that's great! Now I'd add one more thing... Will the next version of SEOMoz have a 'search' feature as well as a 'printer version' one for articles?
...Off Topic
Wouldn't it be better if you put only a limited amount of blog content instead of all of it on blog.php? Just a rough idea... :)
Yeah, Matt and I have been discussing that... I think the next version of SEOmoz (hopefully out just before SES NYC in Feb.) will have all sorts of good stuff like that and more of a community focus right from the homepage.
I saw this article on wired a few weeks ago about how digg might bury slashdot. While I don't think slashdot will ever be buried, it certainly may lose it's place as the best way for geeks to find cool sites.
Now if some of those social bookmarking sites would just have threaded, modded discussions...
