The wonderful world of the web these days (WEB2.0) enables us non techies (well that’s just me in the Thinktank Media team!!! ) to control our websites, blogs and social networking sites without the constant assistance of our web developer. FREEDOM! From updating content, adding applications and inserting pictures…we thank you Web2.0!

The purpose of this post is to share some top widgets (pieces of code) that you can add to your blog/website/social networking site to interlink them with Facebook and Twitter. The more you share ways to connect with your target market the easier it is for them to keep up to speed on what you are up to…..and just as importantly, the more you can listen and provide… connecting back with them.

So here they are peeps!

Twitter: 

These widgets named below let you display Twitter updates on your website/blog or social network page

Simply choose where you would like to include it, then embed the nifty piece of code – hey presto …..a visual badge or stream will appear.

Here’s the link : http://twitter.com/goodies/widgets

BUT WAIT….there’s more….

FACEBOOK :

From personal profile widgets such as profile badges and photo badges (new app) to website and business widgets, fan box, live stream box and page badge – these pieces of code assist you to open up the doors to connect even further!

Check out the latest free widgets on offer here from the facebook widgets store!

We are blessed with some of the hottest connection tools to date! Twitter,facebook,blogs, youtube..even trusty blip.fm …the list goes on. Social Media is hotter than the sun right now, as it’s the difference that makes the difference when marketing your business and building strong relationships.

Yeeeharrr!!! That’s a fantastic thing as with the tools you can get closer than you have ever been able to get before with your friends, colleagues and target market online – plus build up a sturdy support network.

But wait…..its not all about the tools, really its not. Some people think now that they are on twitter or have made their own facebook fan page that business should start to pick up for them on these platforms. Quite the opposite. The tools are just like scissors, they do a job, yet its the person thats operating the scissors that matters.

Remember, the personality behind the tools is going to enable you to stand out. Let your character ooze out and your passion for your work, and life to shine through.Love your reader base, clients included, listen to them, interact with them and deliver! CARE is the biggest thing you can do.

Show you care by putting effort into everything you do online. If it means replying to every comment made about you on twitter, then do it…answer every email with thought and respect – step up everyday and give in this space. The more you do THAT, the more you get back.

The tools we have available to us now are mind blowing in connecting with people yet without the personality they are nothing.
