Sphinn.com just got an awesome update. Lots of new features and enhancements to the site.

Twitter Moms is an amazingly fast growing community that consists of moms who use Twitter. It is a very warm and friendly community site where moms gather together to talk about their day to day lives and share things with others in the the community.

The site is very warn and has a very easy to navigate design to it. I was quickly able to identify the purpose of the site and also see that it was very popular. If you are a mom and you also use Twitter, you then also share a common interst with others moms on the Internet and can easily make tons of new friends.

Over the years, people end up learning quite a bit about people through blogging. One thing that has always interested me is knowing if other people aside from myself actually APPROVE negative comments. I remember when I received my first negative comment on my blog and I was simply FLOORED. How could someone be so mean, how could someone be so heartless to say something like that, etc... Over time you get used to it and learn to value the feedback. However, a lot of people drop negative comments just to be negative on purpose to create buzz or interest on their own blog. Those type of comments I don't like and don't approve because they don't add any value for my readers.

From the page: "where are the infrastructure tools for tracking our digital lives, and deaths? We all talk a lot about managing your personal brand or brands online, which is all well and good if you're alive to do it. But who manages your personal brand after your death? Have you planned who is going to update your multiple online personas and profiles? Have you communicated your passwords and login info to your next of kin or executor? "

A Seesmic user named Jacob asks the community if they feel like Twitter is dying. This received quite a few really good responses regarding this questions and it is for sure worth a look see.

Some pretty interesting stats and numbers throwing in your F**king face... nice work and nice presentation. ;)

From the page: "Originally, Alexa was targeted mainly to webmasters, so any early rankings may not have been representative samples of true Internet traffic. Today�s Alexa rankings use different calculations, making them a bit more true to scale.

Here�s a list of the Top 10 Social Sites, according to Alexa, world-wide:"

From the page: "So, what is the latest Digg-like site getting everyone�s attention? Last summer it was Sphinn, more recently it was Mixx, while this week it is Yahoo Buzz, the newly released �oeDiggable” site to hit the internet.

Should Digg fear Yahoo�s foray into their territory? Right now, the answer is clearly no, but that may soon change, especially when the tool exits beta. Please read on for a first look at Yahoo Buzz to learn what you can expect to see right now as well as down the road.

Yes, Yahoo Buzz is in beta which means that it barely registers in the world of diggable sites. But, with the power of Yahoo! behind it, it won�t take long before everyone hears about Buzz, signs up, and waits for the opportunity to submit their pages."
