A new way to discover sites

Like a lot of people I spend a lot of time surfing the web. However, I find I keep visiting the same sites - news, social networking. I found it hard to discover new websites. For example if I was just looking for what are the coolest blogs or web design sites. I would only find about them if I heard about them through someone else.


I created www.eSocialWeb.com, which is a Digg-like site but, not for news. Here users can vote for their favorite sites, discuss and review sites. Hopefully it is a useful for people to discover new sites and share their favorite sites with everyone else. Happy surfing!

Twitter Growth

I have recently signed into and started using my Twitter account. I have been a little to join in and it certainly seems that Twitter is going through a massive increase in its user base, going from early adopters to more mainstream users. It is a great way to connect with other people, and develop a network online. There are a lot of interesting and influential bloggers and users on Twitter. But beyond that I find it a great way to come across interesting articles and stay on top of news.


Twitter is also becoming important for companies and marketing departments to join the conversion. Some companies have opened Twitter accounts and are sending messages to their user communities. It is also a great way to find out what people are saying and even getting the conversation going for new ideas or promotions. It is certainly a growing platform and an area that will evolve over the year.
