I have been blown away by the use of social sites, some good and some bad. In my line of mental healthcare i have seen many pro anorexia sites telling people how it is ok to be anorexic so the more professionals take advantage of these sites the better – espeically as the kids use them all the time.

Of course, I’m not intending to publish the full content of the articles on these sites (in all cases) or even trying to manipulate Gogle in this instance. For instance, it’s not as if (with this site) I even need to do this to encourage Google to spider my sites.

I’m simply updating my status profiles. If any of the sites had a problem with it, they would ask me to stop first I would have thought. A lot of these profiles wont even be 100% dupe content as each profile is set up to take certain elements of data and not others.

I wonder what attitude Google has to these automatic updates and notifications. There might be penalties…

Hi Shaun,
I saw your post “Is Twitter Killing Real Blog Comments?” and was going to comment on it (my wife was just telling yesterday about a story that Twitter would end blogging ), but I don’t see a way to add a comment on it. Do you close comments on posts after a few weeks (the post is from February I think)?

Hi Shaun,
Cool idea…
Are you just trying to post notifications on all these social sites, or are you trying to post your new article on all the sites. If it’s posting the article, would it become “duplicate content” and would google ignore the copies? If this is for social traffic, it doesn’t matter, but if it is for search traffic, does it?

PS. I have yet to try these social networks… It’s on my “to do” list, but for now I’m kind of old skool.

All good stuff Shaun,

Have you tried Flock (http://www.flock.com), it’s basically a browser that connects all your social networks in 1 place and allows you to publish once scenario like your talking about above.

Note – Twitter choked on a malformed title via Google Docs, so broke the cycle. If it didn’t I think it would have worked 100% – think I don’t use the post Title option in Google Docs next time – I didn’t in my very first test doh!
