I think it's important for anyone (blogger, writer, freelance writer) to link back to their sources if they have any! It lends credibility to their article/post and also provides readers a way to verify information.

I love Feedly.
It is a great tool that gives you a more user-friendly interface with Google Reader, plus the Feedly "mini" allows you to easily share any blog post, article or whatever on Twitter, FeedFriend, FaceBook, etc. in one integrated package.

I use Diigo (http://diigo.com ) to bookmark my favorite blog posts and resources. It duplicates them to my delicious account and when I save it, I also have the option to add a tweet about the link. Very straightforward as I use Diigo Bookmarklet.

All very good suggestions which I have used. Also consider TweetThisText to cite blogs, websites. Highlight some intriguing text of the article, click the TweetThisText on toolbar [very easy to install] and off goes the tweet/citation. With url link back to original article for the follower when then get it. I will send one out, check @Doug_Caldwell

Twitter is by far my favorite way to share a post. Digg would be effective but it takes work to gain any respect to get your stuff recognized.
Facebook is also great as long as you have a solid following.

We're seeing almost 20% of our new blog's traffic coming from Twitter
If I'm pressed for time I share it on Twitter. Otherwise, I'd thumb up a good blog post in StumbleUpon. When the post is excellent I can be so inspired I can write a short review of it. For more personal bookmarks I'm using Delicious. If I really want to help the author, I'd use Digg. But for the most part I find myself favoring Twitter.

I use this handy Firefox extension/app called Feedly. The interface is very simple & has a smaller 'mini' version with friendfeed, twitter, tumblr, email, etc. that pops up on each page you open. You can not only see the conversations around the page/post involved, but you can instantly publish/share your information as well.

Another great way to share a blog post is through QR codes. I'm currently looking at iCandy for setting these up: http://icandy.ricohinnovations.com/rocket2/ You can print these out on cards and hand them out at network meetings. By waving them in front of your webcam, or your mobile phone you are immediately taken to the URL - which could be the blog post you're trying to promote. I'll shortly be posting an article on my own blog at http://ianmckendrick.com to show how to take advantage of this emerging technology as a fun and engaging way to promote your blog.

There is also BigTweet http://bigtweet.com/ which is a great way to surf the Web and post to Twitter. BigTweet installs as a bookmarklet on all the major browsers and lets you capture highlighted text, link and title for easy posting. There is also built-in shortening using Bit.ly and support for special unicode characters.

Great post and one I sincerely hope more people will take to heart because it benefits everyone involved: those who create quality content, those they interact with on Social Networking sites, and their own blogs.
Check out the post I did recently on how commenting and sharing can increase traffic to your own site exponentially: in my case 54.87% the day I wrote that post which increased to 76.63%. We also received Tweets indicating one blogger doubled his one day traffic when he tried our suggested strategy.
The more people are willing to recommend their favorite blogs, products, and services the more the world benefits - especially if those they recommend are local or smaller online businesses. Vote with your time and money and create a better world!

I prefer to funnel everything through google reader. I either click share when reading my subscriptions or click on "note in reader" in my bookmarks bar. Then my shared reading feed is sent to twitterfeed and to facebook which imports feeds pretty nicely. I also have a little widget on the side of my own blog that lists what I'm reading.
now if I could only keep up with everything in my newsreader...

Twitter!. It's fast, All your followers see it straight away in an easy/quick read/link and requires little effort by me, as no need to worry about format.

One method I am soon to be adopting is get your blog printed, if you know of a local free magazine, they might be looking for cheap content creators, you can gain readership (and value for advertisers) by appearing in the mag. You also open the doors to the mag's sponsors asking for a piece of your web pie.

Great tips. Its hard to stay on top of everything. I have a list that i go through every time I make a blogpost so I don't forget to distribute it places. But you do have to pick your places. It can be a waste of time to share it somewhere that no one listens to what your saying. Focus on making certain outlets stronger so when you do share it there more people will respond to it.

Great article -- I learned some things I didn't know about.
Here's how I share links:
I linked up Facebook and Twitter and Google Reader and Blogger via Friendfeed ... all I do is post on one and it gets mirrored.
If it's a status message on FB, it gets sent out on Twitter as well. If I tweet it, it ends up as a FB status message as well.
If it's a shared article on Google Reader, it gets sent out on FB and Twitter.
I also linked my Blogger account to Multiply... so if it's out on Blogger, it creates an identical post on Multiply as well. It also ends up as an automatic posting on FB and Twitter.

The potentials of Twitter really become apparent when a good blog post is tweeted. When I post a link to my blog, my 350 followers see it, and if 2 or 3 of them retweet it, my writing suddenly has an audience of more than 1000 sets of eyes. This usually happens within the first 20 minutes of tweeting! In a sens,e Twitter gives every posting an opportunity to become viral.

When someone comes up with an app that will automatically send a completed and newly published post to all of those with one action, let me know. I can't wait for that. It'd save me hours.

I'm in the middle of writing a lot of material and re-developing my website. A big project in itself. However, I've now realised that I must use Social Media to share this story.
Thanks for this article - it is easy to follow and gives a great overview for a beginner like me. I was a bit lost in all the online possibilities before!
