Social Networks Exposed!

9 September, 2008 (12:58) | Contests, Hot News, Social Networks | By: User ImageSocialMind

The results are in for the Social Media Marketing Contest! There was a lot of interest in this contest due to the hot topic.

In order to enter, one simply had to blog about the social media they use the most and what kind of results they achieve from them.  Included in the post, there was to be a link back to the Social Arrow, and the enterer was to write a comment in the contest posting to announce their entry.

Not everyone managed to complete the entry as specified.  I accepted any entry that linked back to the Arrow as long as they blogged about a social network.  In any case, there were some really good posts, with some inspiring and insightful tips on social media.

Listed below are the winners in order(along with the sites that didn’t quite make the cut).  Click each name to read their post on the Social Media they find the most useful.
