Portland Social Media

Exhibit A, Stumble Power

I have a fine example, via Om Malik, of the power of StumbleUpon - I wrote an introduction for those unaware of StumbleUpon the other day here on Portland Social Media; you can read the article at StumbleUpon v. Google v. Digg. Fight!. Om links to Vinod, who uses Google Analytics to make his point (sign-up for a Analytics account here), who explains he saw his RSS subscription base increased from 17 to 476 in one day.

He wrote one post that got stumbled, and now that post brings in a lot of traffic each day - StumbleUpon rivaling Digg? Yep. So if you create podcasts or videopodcasts or just interesting content, make sure it’s easy for your visitors to Stumble your post, just like in the way you’ve made your post easy to Digg or del.icio.us.

pdxsocialmedia Tag

Marshall made a great comment about a del.icio.us tag for the group, so you come across a blog entry or article about social media and you want to share it with the group, del.icio.us the link with the tag pdxsocialmedia. I’ve added a few links myself to get things started, feel free to add what you like.
