Jacob, I finally posted the final results, and did ask for votes, so we’ll see how it works out

Aaron, certainly there are different things that we could’ve done differently. Hopefully, we all learned from this project and next time will host other ones more efficiently.

Thanks, Audee. The post is up now. Let me know what you think of it

Jacob said: “I think the social media mega project was a great experiment but it’s not over yet! The final roundup will have the most traffic potential. Every participant listed should Digg it, Stumble it, etc., and try to get others to do so as well.”

Vivien, I must agree to Jacob. The final roundup on Friday will somehow give you a hint to evaluate and to organize better next group writing project. I’m being optimistic here

I’ve been thinking about different ways we could have organized the project. One option would have been to dedicate a week or two to each social media site. That way we all would have had one site in are targets instead of having to pick from a handful.

Participation could have even been required in order to be eligible to host a later project.

Don’t just hope, ask for it Vivien! It just makes sense, everyone wins by doing it. There’s really no reason not to.

oh, Jacob (J. Share), looks like we were writing the comment almost at the same time. Your comment sounded almost like a toast, a very encouraging one. Hopefully others will join and give some social love to everyone’s list of final entries.

thanks to everyone for your encouraging comments - I really appreciate them a lot. I’m too disappointed a bit with the passive reaction to this mega project in the blogiverse, but I can’t blame anyone - everyone must have had their reasons for not participating. However, I and all other hosting bloggers are really grateful to those who did join in and shared their experience on Social Media sites with us. Thank you all!

Ronald, I too look forward to seeing all the results and putting the final list together.

Jacob, your recent involvement with Social Media is very impressive - really well done. I’m glad this mega project had something to do with your success

Audee, you’re right - that’s why we did spread out the project onto 11 blogs, and divided the social networks around, so that people get a chance to talk/write about their favourite or the most hated social media site

Damiende, there is a sour truth in what you say - however, we shouldn’t get too obsessed with getting it right on Social Media sites, but focus on what is important - our readers, our values.

Kriz, you’re very welcome. And thank you for participating in this project.

I think one thing that’s often overlooked with social media like Digg is how social they actually are. Anyone can win the traffic lottery, but to really increase your chances of Digg success you should have a group of Digg friends that can nudge your Digg counter high enough to get noticed by regular Diggers.

That said, you might not care. Digg traffic is cheap traffic where often the best value is having nice traffic graphs you can use to get into CPM advertising programs.

I think Audee has the point. Without you hosting this project I might not have written the blogorati post. Though I don’t think people would be interested in what I wrote, but just to say thank you.
