Social Media for Firefox is Sick!!
My good friends over at 97th Floor have released a new Firefox extension called Social Media for Firefox. The tool is designed to help you build up a power account (or maintain a current one) by saving you time submitting stories to the social news sites.
Don’t you hate it when you waste 5 minutes trying to submit something to Digg only to find out that it’s already been submitted? Me too. This tool will actually tell you which social media sites a URL has been submitted to when you’re on the actual URL. This way if it’s already been submitted you won’t waste time.
The tool also has a feature where you scan social news sites to find stories that haven’t been submitted to others. For example, I can scan the Reddit popular page to find stories that haven’t yet been submitted to Digg. I can then submit those stories to Digg and have a pretty decent chance of making the popular page since people on other communities have already validated the content. However, not everything that the community finds interesting on Reddit will work on Digg, and vice versa.
I was fortunate enough to test this tool and to be honest I didn’t want the guys to publicly release it. Maybe that’s just me being selfish but I had a huge advantage with having exclusive access. The tool rocks and I recommend it for anyone serious about social media marketing.
BTW - The guys at 97th Floor do really good SEO work and would highly recommend them anytime.

Great tool! Can’t wait to try it out, and like you said, it really sucks when you try to submit and someone beat you to it!

Cameron, I found your blog from reading your article on social media marketing in Search Marketing Standard. Your article and blog is a breath of fresh air - I applaud you for divulging such valuable information that can help beginning marketers in the field. There is such a lack of good info out there - and for you to write about tools like this, it’s a great thing. I’m going to check it out for some of my own projects. Thank you!!
