Getting viral: Why I'm posting this blog here

What's Gabordiblog and why am I posting photos on a site other than Tallahassee.com?

I'm glad I asked. Well, I couldn't wait to see if you asked or this might have been a very short blog.

First, here is the link to Gabordiblog. Just click on it or save this address: http://gabordiblog.blogspot.com/. Those of you reading this here, of course, already found it. The photos are posted right below.

I'm using the Blogspot tool on Google -- which we used prior to adding the Pluck social networking tools on Tallahassee.com -- use like I'm using Twitter.com and Facebook: to reach out to new potential readers and draw them to Tallahassee.com.

It's all about being viral, linking, networking and following. All good things.

I just started doing this and back on Blogspot. As with Twitter.com, you can "follow" updates to this blog from Blogspot. On Twitter, you can follow updates to this blog at this link: Twitter.com/bgabordi.

We're suggesting to all of our Tallahassee.com bloggers that they use these tools to expand their audience, especially if you blog on topics that appeal to people from anywhere. That's part of being viral. It helps create your own network.

The great benefit of Tallahassee.com, of course, is that it's local first, global second. Other sites work in reverse. What's posted on Tallahassee.com gets you in front of about 600,000 unique visitors each month, mostly local people and almost all of them -- local or not -- having intense interest in local information.

Today on Gabordiblog I posted photos of the FSU women's basketball team's win over Penn State. I'm using Gabordiblog as a "mirror" blog of this site, except much shorter posts, usually.
Those FSU photos are also posted at Tallahassee.com/gabordi.

The photos were shot from the stands with my iPhone, sent via Pixelpipe to a Flickr page licked to Tallahassee.com.
