Let’s Get Connected
I had posted out too much these past two days. I had been announcing in Twitter lately of that template-tweaking thing. I just decided to venture out into social media.
More Traffic
Why? I had to figure out ways to gain traffic – not only from Entrecard, but from other sources as well – primarily from different social networks.
Just the other day, I was working out my stuff on my StumbleUpon profile. Then yesterday, I got myself Digg-in some articles. I have not touched my Del.ici.ous account, but maybe I will. Oh yes, I have a Facebook account too. Some of you might notice that I had Twittered too much – well, it is really a good platform for me to do micro-blogging without the need to post out something in my blogs. Now with Twhirl installed in my system tray, managing those little tweets get a little better.
I just came back from BlogCatalog – I got hooked with all the discussions going on. It’s like a mini-forum with the IntenseDebate feel.
Don’t forget me to fave me in Technorati. I got a MyBloglog account too.
Leaving Entrecard?
Of all these networks, I plan to be active in Digg and StumbleUpon. I will still doing the daily 600 drops in Entrecard, but I still have no plans of stopping myself from learning new things in blogging.
Everyone is Invited
I am inviting everyone to connect with me in any of these social networks, preferably in Digg and StumbleUpon. If you got your existing profiles already, add me up using those links above or using the BlogCatalog widget below.

Masyado ng marami, but I’ve noticed one thing good about Squidoo – they end up on top of Google’s list, kaya siguro maraming traffic.
I was thinking of using Squidoo in my PTC blog.

@kouji
Good thing you have squidoo.
@NONO
Okay, I’d probably meet you there.
@chubskulit/bloglady
I think StumbleUpon is favorable to personal blogs; I see more tech users in Digg.
@joops
It is always a good idea to do things one step at a time.

@kouji
same with you. I haven’t figure that out.
@janmck
Actually you can put up some blog posts in Digg. I don’t have posts in SEO – I’m still trying to learn some tips from others.

@kouji
I hope so. I heard the buzz about these sites.
@janmck
Oh .. sorry, I did not see that posting thing in Digg. But posting blogs is possible in StumbleUpon. Facebook has a similar facility too.

@pchi
dami nga. Maybe I will have to drop less for this blog, once na established na ang stumble at digg traffic.
I like your causes. Sewing? I wish I can draw. Do blog about these things. Doon siguro sa i.ph mo ata mafi-fit ang topics na ito.
Stumble seemed less demanding than dropping ECs, but I could be wrong.

Hi, Gem!
Believe it or not, but I’m still one of those people who haven’t tried Twitter. I got Digg and StumbleUpon but I’m not very active there. You got me interested into using those stuff. I’ll add you up or connect with you (whatever it’s called
when I did.
