My Favorite Web Designs is a Mesa, Arizona web design and search engine optimization company. We were founded 3 years ago in 2009. We've done over 100 WordPress websites and we've performed search engine optimization for dozens of clients around Mesa and around the valley. One of the reasons our service is so effective is that we utilize the WordPress website content management system, and that allows us to do search engine optimization very cost-effectively and to expand our customers' websites and add promotionals and other marketing items very cost-effectively. So today we're talking about new types of social media, and these are new social media that people are taking advantage of. Some of you may have heard of Evernote and Typepad, and those are 2 different aggregating social medias. They allow you to clip different parts of the web, assemble them into notebooks, folders, and pertinent collections of relevant data, and then share them. And those are 2 very popular social medias right now. Another type of social media that is up and coming is social media aggregators for your other social media products. What I'm talking about here would be RebelMouse, for instance. And that creates a custom homepage for your brand or company. And that homepage aggregates all the feeds from your Twitter, from your Facebook, from your LinkedIn, and reposts them there. So it's kind of an all-in-one dashboard for your most important social media. And we also just had a new player launched on December 5th, and that was so.cl. And that's Microsoft's attempt at social networking. So far it's not bad. It has some cool interests, some cool items in it that are similar to Pinterest and Typepad. So we're interested, we're on it, we're checking it out. And if I were you, I would make sure to hop on all your new social media early on so that you take advantage and are able to get all the contacts and connections that come with being the first in.
