Social Media Submissions - May 12

Found myself a good Interweb connection today and had some last-day-of-vacation fun by playing around on my fave social sites while it rained all day long. Here’s what I submitted over the past 24 hours or so:

A Banner Day for Yours Truly

Lookie who got on the digg home page today:

That doesn’t happen every day, so pardon me while I gloat a little. (Here’s the digg story URL.) In fact, it’s only the third time I’ve put a story on the home page. But this an interesting study in headline writing:

I submitted the same article to mixx, but used the boring headline that came straight from the Dallas Morning News article: “White House candidates offer plans to curb high gas prices”. I changed the title when I submitted to digg, came up with something much more interesting — a better hook — and the thing took off like wildfire. So, next time you read about the importance of writing attention-getting headlines for social media … listen to that advice.

One More Thing…

Speaking of social media, I wrote a guest post today for the Social Media Mom blog. You can read it here:

If you read it, let me know what you think. Is 10-years-old too young to start blogging?
