My new sig
OK interconnected world, I’ve got a couple cool new tools. First, let’s start with a social signature. How many emails do you send each day? If you’re like me, it’s a lot. Why not use that as a way to link back to your social networking sites, blog and twitter updates?
WiseStamp does a great job at this. As you can see from the image at the top, my sig includes links back to my main social networks as well as the latest blog entry. WiseStamp lets you you add a personalized signature on any webmail service such as Gmail, Yahoo, AOL mail, and Hotmail. The main feature is the ability to add icons and links to profiles on most of the popular social networks and instant messenger services. This allows you to create dynamic Internet-ready signatures that connect to all of your online accounts. The ability to connect signatures to social network profiles is an excellent addition to our email experience. WiseStamp is a FireFox extension. Additional features are that you can configure both a personal and a business signature.
Next up is a little trick that I will give credit to my buddy Brad Pendergraph, social media evangelist extraordinaire. How about if you could give out a URL that easily connected the recipient with your main social presence? Does is sound compelling? It is. For instance if you click on NetworkWithMark.com it takes you to the about page of my blog where many of my main social links are listed. Typing ILikeMark.com into your browser takes you to my Facebook page. Cool huh? It makes an impact when you give it out. Brad says it isn’t his original idea, but the Internet is pay it forward medium. So now I’ve given the tip to you. Put it to work for $10 a year and a simple redirect.
