50 Online Applications and Sites to Consider

August 5, 2008

bingo For those of you already pretty much deep into social media applications, skip ahead and blaze through the list. If I’ve found five sites/applications that you haven’t seen or considered, leave a comment and give me a point. For the rest of you, here’s a list I put together the other day when thinking about just how much of my computer use is spent online and attached to the web. Some of the applications I point out aren’t things I use currently, but I have used them, and/or have an account there.


For those of you who are getting involved in social media a little bit at a time, consider this a list of things you might check out a little bit at a time to see what appeals, what fits into your workflow, and what you can dismiss as unnecessary for your needs.

AND, if you have some resources you think would be good to add to the list, feel free to add them in the comments section.

Comment by genieyclo on August 5, 2008 @ 1:42 am

A new startup that’s a video platform that you might find interesting is Qik, a video platform site that you use to upload video from your phone straight to Qik. Novel, and unprecedented in it’s easy-to-use manner and social feature.

Comment by Bernie Goldbach on August 5, 2008 @ 1:49 am

I’m with genieyclo and could not imagine the world before Qik. I run it as my storylining technology, capturing video and audio moments that my creative multimedia students later consult when crafting two minute video clips of their own. Qik upstreams from my Nokia phone, in private or public streams, interactive when they’re being made.

I thought this list would be pretty superfluous, as most of the things listed are pretty well-known, but I found some great new services here, thanks very much!

Comment by Just4Moi on August 5, 2008 @ 8:07 am

Plaxo seems to be missing from your list….

Comment by Jim Spencer on August 5, 2008 @ 8:19 am

Awesome list Chris.
Here are a few additional tools to consider. I have an account with most of them, but am by no means a power user or a fan of all of them.

Plaxo - social network / address book
Jott - similar to Utterz, post voice to your social media properties
Social | Median - similar to FriendFeed
Merchant Circle - local biz referral and networking
Naymz - name reputation community
Ryze - processional network, strong in Europe
Ecademy - processional network, strong in Europe
Spokeo - Searches for info about you all over the web (spooky)
MeetUp - local events and networking

Comment by thatwomancdv on August 5, 2008 @ 8:31 am

Hi Chris, although new to the mix, let’s add http://www.sohobiztube.com, Blogtalk radio, and seesmic. Good business blog would also be smallbiztrends.com

The list is great, I plan to visit most and add some tools to my arsenal.

Comment by Kyle Studstill on August 5, 2008 @ 8:36 am

The music discovery site/game http://www.thesixtyone.com is starting to take off as a platform for underground and upcoming artists. I’m starting to see more recognized artists like MIA, We Are Scientists, Ted Leo/Pharmacists show up and become quickly popular in the 61 system, bringing more credibility to the site.

Comment by Marc A. Pitman on August 5, 2008 @ 8:38 am

I give you a point. (At least 5 sites I hadn’t heard of.)

Not sure if I’ll thank you for bringing them to my attention… ;)

Comment by Webconomist on August 5, 2008 @ 8:43 am

Great list, I’d add Ping.fm for Microblogging broadcast.

This guy, Bob Stumpel has put together an impressive Web 2.0 list of services (over 300 blog apps):

Comment by jackstowe on August 5, 2008 @ 9:12 am

Very useful list. Most of them are useful but not all of them I am a member. Hmmmn, I will…

Comment by Gary S. Walter on August 5, 2008 @ 9:13 am

I am a registered user of about 80% of these items. But since the advent of Ping.Fm, some of them have become redundant. Ping lets me cross post to many of my favorite social messaging/microblogging sites.

Plurk, Pownce, Jaiku, and some others just don’t have the appeal of identica and Twitter.

Then of course, FriendFeed and Strands do a great job of collecting “stuff” from my friends.

Comment by Eric Miltsch on August 5, 2008 @ 9:20 am

Three other simple sites:

http://www.Popego.com
http://www.Blipper.com
http://www.Profilactic.com

No Doodgeball? I guess it isn’t “cool” anymore. (I’m not being sarcastic). I’m not from the States so I don’t have access to Dodgeball (Unfortunately) I don’t know how well it is running right now.

For Music I love sadsteve but I don’t know if that would figure on your list.

Comment by Beth Bates on August 5, 2008 @ 10:16 am

This is a very helpful list, Chris. Here are a few that I always throw out there for specialty areas and non-profits:

Eons.com (http://www.eons.com) - social community for baby boomers (I’ve found that the question “How do we reach out to 60+ crowd?” comes up a lot.)

Gather.com (http://www.gather.com) - social community for the intellectual set.

Changents.com (http://www.changents.com) - connecting agents of change with backers.

Change.org (http://www.change.org) - social community for non-profits.

Idealist.org (http://www.idealist.org) - community and resources for non-profits.

Comment by Mitchell McKena on August 5, 2008 @ 10:20 am

Beth Bates blogged a link here and mentioned Eons as one of the ones I didn’t add. Funny, I had Eons on the list, but realized I had 54 for my list of 50.

Should there be an online Calendar or Social Calendar category? I love http://www.30boxes.net. As Felix suggested, also need the category of social search, or alternatively the newish term: social discovery (see BiblioCommons and the new library catalog/social discovery tool they are rolling out now–Oakville Public Library beta). I agree Plaxo/Pulse should be on here, as a way of keeping your virtual contact list and networking at the same time. Anyone who uses libraries should be aware of LibraryThing and Library Elf. Any suggestions on what category to place these in?

Great list! About 10 I’d never heard of, so you get 2 points from me. :) You missed two of my standards: Ping.fm and Profilactic, but others mentioned them. One more that falls under Social Networking is http://www.goodreads.com.
Thanks!
Joan

You cannot compete with services like Twitter that in place for so long and so popular. So you need to take it into account and integrate in your strategy. Plus if you want to make a microblogging service, you need (IMHO) to rely on SMS and as you cannot afford SMS out, you need to use such services (Twitter, Jaiku, etc) for that.

That is why we (mixin.com) consider these services (Twitter, Jaiku, Plurk, etc.) as new communication channels for our social agenda. When you found something to do or would like to do something you need to discuss, suggest, and decide where and when. So you need to send it to your friends that are not always on the same social network or are not on any social network at all (yes it is possible ;-)

  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Tim Hoeck
    diigo for bookmarking.
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Bryan Thatcher
    :) justa wait a week you'll have a new addition
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Rah™
    I don't see why everybody is sleepin' on Diigo
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Richard Kannegieser
    Kwippy, Propeller, and Social Median should be added to the list, but Great job Chris!
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Chris Brogan
    There are 10,974,601 apps I could add. That's where YOU come in. : )
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Ricardo Rabago
    Thanks for the great list. I think I'll use about 3 of them.
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Mike Troiano
    Agree on Diigo. Great site, we use it to share info across management team.
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Xoost.com
    Hi Chris, thanks for this aggregation, useful. But, what about adding an emerging category named Social Search? Xoost would fit into it. cheers, Felix
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Anton
    Thanks, great list, but I wonder should Posterous be in microblogging category? It's more like usual blogging service... And +1 for Diigo =)
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Hayk
    perhaps instapaper, alexa, sitemeter, picasa, rssmeme ?
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Neil Williams
    Awesome list. A relatively new kid on the block: http://www.addictomatic.com - great tool for listening quickly.
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Rich Casey
    Great list but techmeme.com needs to be on here! Also rememberthemilk.com is a fun way to keep track of todos.
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm skinflakes
    Socialthing! is a cooler alternative to feedfriend http://socialthing.com
  • December 31, 1969 at 4:33 pm Frédéric Sidler
    And new ones are coming every day. That is why at mixin.com we are not trying to compete with any of them but integrate them. Because once you found something to do or you have a proposition to make, you need to discuss with your friends whatever social network they belong. And this discussion begins before the event, during the event and can continue after the event with the addition of pictures and videos from these services like Flickr, Picasa, Youtube, Qik.
