7 tools for becoming a superstar of online sharing
You can hardly read a webpage these days without stumbling on a reminder to “share” what you’re reading, followed by a bunch of funny-looking little icons. In that respect, Web100.com is no different from the rest of the web. We want you to share what you’re reading, too—even what you’re reading right now (just look for the “share” button on this page).
To the uninitiated, those icons may be a bit mystifying. After all, they seem to morph and multiply. What do they signify, anyhow? In short, they’re a way to help bloggers and web publishers spread the word about their articles, videos and other content, as well as to encourage web users to share and learn from each other’s interests.
Websites differ in the ways they encourage the sharing of their content. Some simply use one word, typically “share” or “bookmark,” followed by links to the three or four most popular sharing services. At others, clicking on that “share” link pops up a box with scores of sites for sharing whatever you’re reading or viewing. Whether you’re a web publisher or just a reader, it’s time you learn to be savvy about sharing. Here’s a start.
- 1DiggNewshounds love digg. Once you’ve signed up, you can “digg” any article—the site’s argot for sharing—by clicking on a digg icon. You can also discuss the news at digg, vote for articles others have shared, and use digg to learn what’s popular among digg fans.
- 2RedditShare at Reddit, and Reddit will start to recommend links filtered to your likes and dislikes.
- 3FacebookIf you have a Facebook account, you can simply click on the tiny Facebook icon at a news article to share it with your Facebook friends.
- 4deliciousWith delicious, you can store and organize your own collection of bookmarks and online resources. The site’s tagging features make it easy to sort your collection, or even learn about new spots favored by other delicious users.
- 5StumbleUponWhen you click on the StumbleUpon icon, you’ll be sharing the site or article, but you’ll also be seeking out recommendations from StumbleUpon’s millions of users.
- 6AddThisAddThis will help you place a sharing button on your pages for free.
- 7ShareThisA free tool for web publishers to encourage sharing, and to help web users keep track of what they’re sharing.

Allan, thanks for putting together this cool and interesting site (have to credit Kirk Peterson for telling me about it).
I've been diving deep into this stuff myself, and what I'm finding is that there's just TOO much of this stuff out there (if, like me, you're looking at it for marketing communication purposes). If you had to narrow it down to the top four, I would say Facebook, Linked In, Twitter and You Tube right now have the greatest name recognition. MySpace has greater numbers, but different function. It's like that Bruce Springsteen song, 57 Channels (And 'Nothin On).
Also, isn't it possible to you narrow your focus to specific interest groups with Facebook Pages? And do you think some of these gazillion sites will twitter off (pun intended) and die when the big boys get on board? Skype was the rage for a while, but now Verizon, Sprint, etc. have similar products. Too bad, too, because Skype is supposed to be going public with their stock soon.
The best site out this list is Reddit in my opinion, Digg is really old school now they really need to update there site. StumbleUpon is kinda old news as well.

Never really liked anything but Digg. Dont know why everyone likes Reddit as I found it very hard to use when trying to update my Bodybuilding coupon code website.
Collaboration among online participants is essential. This is a very informative website, and I enjoy sharing information about technology marketing. I am an expert in this field and like to help others when I get the chance.
Yes I agree that online sharing can be really fun if done safely. I have worked many years in the internet world and I have seen many lose everything to poor security. To be honest I use several programs to avoid viruses and bad software.
