Is not a secret that I’m a big advocate of social media and almost every new media idea that rolls out on the web, I try to get as many people as I can get in my profiles without looking like a spammer. Each one of the social media/microbloggin/myspace-type sites that are available right now have very different attributes that can work for you or annoy you if you don’t control them. I got into Jaiku a couple weeks ego, I like the way you can add feeds to the mix. Jaiku was bought by Google last week, hopefully they won’t change its functionality as they are ok now.

The questions that now I ask myself is what to do with all these sites to benefit my blog, how can I attract people to my blog my making an interesting social site space. The first step is to define the audience on each one of them, we know that most people use MySpace. Younger people use Facebook while micro blogging is used by a selected group of people. The experiment I’m going to try is to talk more about iPods, iPhone, and PSP on my MySpace and Facebook accounts, news will be left to update Twitter and Jaiku.

The cool thing about Jaiku is the RSS feed, you can have it read whatever you write on Twitter eliminating the need to write on both sites in different instances. Another use I have for this is for my shared items on my Google Reader shared feed, and lastly one RSS feed from whatever I post on my blog. Facebook can do RSS too and I’m not sure but MySpace may be able to read RSS too, I need to do more research on MySpace features. One that I’m loosing interest is Pownce, I see people posting less. I like Pownce but if people don’t pay attention to it, then what is the use.

At the end I’m expecting to have my blog audience increased by at least 50%, if I can direct people to my blog and have them click on my ads I will be increasing the chances to make a couple bucks to cover my hosting fees.
