Lets move our focus away from Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin to some of the underdogs of social media.
Use these Social Media Underdogs for the success of your e-commerce store!
(1) Tumblr
Tumblr: is a blogging platform.
Tumblr is a blogging platform that allows users to post text, images, video, links, quotes, and audio to their tumble-log, a short-form blog. Users are able to “follow” other users and see their posts together on their dashboard. You can like or re-blog other blogs on the site and other users can do the same to your posts. As your blog becomes more popular your ‘tumblarity‘ will rise. The service emphasizes customizability and ease of use.
(2) Digg:
The huge Digg community is made up of users who play different, often overlapping roles. There are submitters who post news stories that they find in blogs, professional news sites and random postings around the Web. These stories land in the Digg queue. There are casual reviewers who look for interesting stuff in the queue and “Digg it” — meaning they click a button to let Digg.com know they think it’s cool.
Once an article gets enough Diggs (and meets a bunch of other secret requirements), it’s promoted to the homepage.
(3) Delicious
