Has your social media link list been growing as you become more engaged in social media of all types and sizes? How do you choose which ones to put on your email, list on your website, attach to your blog, or link on Twitter?
New software is available and making these decisions easier every day. Recently I have had the opportunity to be part of a group using a BETA software called www.xeesm.com which is providing me a place to consolidate my growing number of social media links.
What to do about business cards
I was just beginning to sweat about my new business cards and how to read everything I wanted to put on them. Somehow a 5×7 card to hand out just doesn’t fit as well in a pocket.
The email links in my signature line was growing from just a website and LinkedIn profile, to 5 or 6 I thought were important. My glasses weren’t helping either.
I now have a new option from www.xeesm.com. They even seem to listen to suggestions because already 2 or 3 of the sticky points I pointed out have already been taken care of. One of my suggestions was prefilling the social media configuration for each common social media link. I can’t always remember how each URL is setup and the change made it easier to fill in just my profile name.
Social Media Link Consolidation
So far I have just ten links added here. The effort actually made me review all my social media profiles and begin to clean up a few so they were consistent. I also had to decide if I do want every one located there. I guess some are ones that people just don’t need to find. Easy enough to add over time when I have time.
Reporting
I like the reporting, although basic, because it allows me to see my changes over time.

Since I started the test, they have added more networking functions but I am just beginning to explore those.
Another review of this software on Talent Zoo by Jeff Cotrupe (www.xeesm.com/Jeff) highlighted the fact that you can’t reorganize the social media sites in the list. I also found that I couldn’t add my own that weren’t already in the list. I am sure they are working on some of that but we will see.
In the meantime, my contacts have been giving me good feedback on my links and thoughts on the site. Many have chosen to sign up as well.
I will update my report once a month to check out my visits.
