In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be. In fact, most of them had already left.

Content aggregators, RSS readers and new social networks are all aiming to deliver the most sought-after content to the people who want the news, wherever they are comfortable. This new world is an evolution of the Web and it cannot be undone. E.g. I read formula1 news on [link] instead of f1 feeds.

To keep on top of friends’ happenings on the network, I subscribed to the relevant updates. It’s not.

One of the topics was microblogging, and Twitter was discussed. In my opinion, people are better served investing time in the other platforms mentioned.

You can also purchase my book, FBML Essentials , which will give you a little more details on FBML (as well as the Facebook developer platform in general). It should also, at the same time, be something familiar to other Facebook users, as this is what they will see in their News feeds as their friends become fans or you post updates.

For blogs, the answer is simple : your blog should be treated as more than just a platform to self-promote. With more and more “experts&# showing up everyday, it’s good to remember what’s important in regards to Social Media. My blog isn’t a platform to raise your search engine rankings. I enjoy it.

Besides, what if there was no online platform to network? Before social networks existed, I am sure people will not introduce themselves as “Andrew Expert Chef&# or “Valentines Day Gifts&#.
