Sharing Via Social Media:

1. Using Twitter to Tweet and Share: Perhaps the fastest and most effective way to share a great blog post is through Twitter. Sharing or retweeting a link in Twitter can spread like wildfire. Use a URL shortener such as tinyurl or bit.ly to shorten links to fit within 140 characters.

2. Posting to Facebook: Sharing a blog post on the world’s largest social network is as simple as going to the Facebook homepage and posting a link.

3. Digg it: Not only will you help bring that blog post one step closer to reaching the front page of the news site Digg (which will spread it even further), but all of your Digg friends will see it as well.

4. Post on MySpace Profile: Don’t forget about the world’s second largest social network when sharing your favorite articles. Post the link to your MySpace profile so your friends can enjoy it too.

5. Posting to LinkedIn: Some blog posts are worthy of being shared by your business network onLinkedIn. Post a link to the Network Updates area in the homepage.

6. Stumbling on StumbleUpon Stumble the post! StumbleUpon is a favorite network for discovering fun websites and useful information, so make sure that you give the post a thumbs up. The StumbleUpon Toolbar is the easiest way to Stumble.

7. Bookmarking to Delicious: Delicious is great for not only sharing posts, but for helping categorize blog posts for others to find. In addition, you can import your delicious bookmarks toFacebook, FriendFeed, and other social media websites.

8. Sharing on FriendFeed: The social media aggregator FriendFeed has a vibrant community who love to share videos, links, and pictures. Use the FriendFeed bookmarklet to quickly share a good blog post to FriendFeed.

9. Adding to Reddit: Reddit is another great social media site for sharing and voting on articles. It’s quick and easy to submit a link

Sharing Via Blogs:

10. Reblogging Great Posts: Blogging about a great article is one of the best ways to engage with the topics being discussed. Post a link, write some commentary, and share it with all of your readers. And don’t forget to share your own blog post as well!

11. Sharing via Google Reader: Google Reader has a great feature for sharing blog posts. If you use Google Reader as your news reader of choice, all you have to do is click the “share” button at the bottom of blog posts to share it with all of your Google friends. You can also add notes and comment as well.

12. Posting on Tumblr or Posterous: If you want to share something via a blog, but don’t want to write a full blog post about it, there are great options for that as well, primarily Tumblr andPosterous. They are the quick and easy versions of full-fledged blogs, ideal for posting about pictures and blog posts.

Useful Tools for Sharing

---

13. TwitThat: TwitThat is one of the quickest and easiest tools for sharing blog posts. It will post to your Twitter quickly and easily. Just add the bookmarklet to your browser toolbar and click it whenever you come across a great post.

14. Shareaholic Firefox Extension: There are a lot of great social networks where you can share a great post, but who wants to visit Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and LinkedIn to share a post? If you are a Firefox user, then install Shareaholic, an extension that goes on your toolbar. It provides quick links for sharing to all of the major social networks.

15. Ping.fm: If you’re a busy person, you might not have time to share on all of these social media websites. Isn’t there an easy way to share a blog post everywhere, all at once? Ping.fm links to all of your social networks and sends your updates to LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, to any other website you wish to link to it. You can even update from your instant messenger. It’s the perfect solution for those who like to share content all over the web.

Other Ways to Share:

---

16. Emailing: Email has always been a good way to share articles, especially with close friends and family. Although it may not reach as many people as Twitter, it will definitely reach anyone who isn’t as deep into social media as you are.

17. Texting: Did you know you that many blogs, including Mashable, support sharing an article via text message? Look out for the ShareThis button (three green dots connected by lines) under blog posts and select the “text” option. iPhones and mobile browsers have made it easy to read links sent by texts.

18. Changing IM Statuses: You probably have dozens, if not hundreds of IM contacts. Share great posts with all of them by changing your IM status to a great post you just read or wrote.

19. IMing a friend: If changing an IM status seems too impersonal, then just IM your friends the link. You can then have a fun chat about the blog post.

20. Talking to Friends: If you don’t have a computer handy, then don’t forget about the analog approach – call a friend or tell him or her over coffee about a great blog post you read. You can always send the link later if necessary.

Looking back at 80's teen flick director's career

Looking back at '80s teen flick director's career

John Hughs, 80's teen flick Director

NEW YORK (AP) -- Writer-director JohnHughes, Hollywood's youth impresario of the 1980s and '90s who captured theteen and preteen market with such favorites as "Home Alone,""The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," diedThursday, a spokeswoman said. He was 59.

Hughesdied of a heart attack during a morning walk in Manhattan, Michelle Bega said. He was in New York to visit family.

JakeBloom, Hughes' longtime attorney, said he was "deeply saddened and inshock" to learn of the director's death.

A nativeof Lansing, Mich., who later moved to suburban Chicago and set much of his workthere, Hughes rose from ad writer to comedy writer to silver screen champ withhis affectionate and idealized portraits of teens, whether the romantic and sexualinsecurity of "Sixteen Candles," or the J.D. Salinger-esque rebellionagainst conformity in "The Breakfast Club."

Hughes'ensemble comedies helped make stars out of Molly Ringwald, Anthony MichaelHall, Ally Sheedy and many other young performers. He also scripted thephenomenally popular "Home Alone," which made little-known MacaulayCulkin a sensation as the 8-year-old accidentally abandoned by his vacationingfamily, and wrote or directed such hits as "National Lampoon's Vacation,""Pretty in Pink," "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" and"Uncle Buck."

"Iwas a fan of both his work and a fan of him as a person," Culkin said."The world has lost not only a quintessential filmmaker whose influencewill be felt for generations, but a great and decent man."

DevinRatray, best known for playing Culkin's older brother Buzz McCallister in the"Home Alone" films, said he remained close to Hughes over the years.

"Hechanged my life forever," Ratray said. "Nineteen years later, peoplefrom all over the world contact me telling me how much 'Home Alone' meant tothem, their families, and their children."

SteveMartin played lead character Neal Page in the 1987 hit "Planes, Trains& Automobiles."

"JohnHughes was a great director, but his gift was in screenwriting," Martinsaid. "He created deep and complex characters, rich in humanity andhumor."

Otheractors who got early breaks from Hughes included John Cusack ("SixteenCandles"), Judd Nelson ("The Breakfast Club"), Steve Carell("Curly Sue") and Lili Taylor ("She's Having a Baby").

ActorMatthew Broderick worked with Hughes in 1986 when he played the title characterin "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

"I amtruly shocked and saddened by the news about my old friend John Hughes. He wasa wonderful, very talented guy and my heart goes out to his family,"Broderick said.

Ben Stein,who played the monotone economics teacher calling the roll and repeatedlysaying "Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?", said Hughes was a toweringtalent.

"Hemade a better connection with young people than anyone in Hollywood had ever made before orsince," Stein said on Fox Business Network. "It's incredibly sad. Hewas a wonderful man, a genius, a poet. I don't think anyone has come close tohim as being the poet of the youth of America in the postwar period. He was tothem what Shakespeare was to the Elizabethan Age.

"Youhad a regular guy - just an ordinary guy. If you met him, you would never guesshe was a big Hollywood power."

As Hughesadvanced into middle age, his commercial touch faded and, in Salinger style, heincreasingly withdrew from public life. His last directing credit was in 1991,for "Curly Sue," and he wrote just a handful of scripts over the pastdecade. He was rarely interviewed or photographed.

DMB in the Cuse

Syracuse (WSYR-TV) – One of the largest concerts to ever take place in Central New York wrapped up late Tuesday night.

Roughly 18,000 fans made their way to Alliance Bank Stadium to take in the sounds of the Dave Matthews Band, which put on a two and a half hour performance.

DMB's playlist included hits such as "Crush" and "Crash (Into Me)", and also covered Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" and Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower".

Crews started working on the concert around 8:00 Monday night, transforming the field into a stage, fit for world-class performers. They put protective flooring over the outfield, which will be taken off as soon as the concert finishes.

Fans lined up outside Alliance Bank Stadium as early as 5:00 Tuesday morning.

“I brought my iPod, which has nothing but Dave on it, so I’m getting pumped for the concert,” says Anthony Bielak, a DMB fan.

“We have a lot of good people around here and music, and five-hour energy drinks,” says Kristin Lamb, another fan.

To kill time, fans played cards, listened to music and even tried to recreate their favorite DMB songs.

“We’ve been chatting with Dave fans. Dave fans are cool! We all unite and chat and I’m already friends on Facebook, so it’s way cool!,” says Andrea Haight, a fan.

Syracuse Police told fans they were allowed to enjoy "very peaceful picnics," which means they can hang out by their vehicle as long as they’re not causing any trouble
