With Twitter you can post messages in 140 characters, which means if you are sharing Mahalo pages you only have enough room for a headline and a link. To get more room, you can use an URL Shortener such as Bit.ly - These will still link to your Mahalo page, but the URL in Twitter will be shorter. Also, each Mahalo page has a "Tweet" button in the sidebar, by clicking that button Mahalo will automatically tweet the page for you on Twitter.

When you share a link on Twitter it is sent out to your "followers" - the most efficient way to share Mahalo links would be to engage your followers to comment. It is also good etiquette to not only use your Twitter account to promote Mahalo, be a good twitter citizen and reply to your followers, retweet your friends gems and engage in conversations. The more you respect the etiquette of Twitter, the more popular you will become and the more your followers will trust you.

To share on Twitter and more easily follow your friends, we recommend using a desktop application such as Twhirl and/or TweetDeck.

A Master list of Mahalo Twitter members can be found here.

Every Facebook profile has a wall where you can freely share links with your friends. Depending on who is on your friends list you will want to be considerate and share links that only your friends will be interested in because your shared links are only visible to them.

We recommend you install a Facebook Bookmarklet to your browser so you can share pages without having to leave them and log into Facebook.

StumbleUpon is social bookmarking/sharing tool for your FireFox browser. StumbleUpon allows you to review web pages as you come across them, those pages will be shared with your friends on StumbleUpon.

After you install StumbleUpon, to share a page, simply click the Thumbs-up button, a new window will open up asking for your review, for best results properly categorize your page and add some original text as your review. The more people who like your page and give it a Thumbs-up, the more people StumbleUpon will share it with.

Digg.com is an older more difficult social networks to master. It is nearly impossible to reach the front page without being part of the community for a long period of time, however, if you ever can reach the front page of Digg you will be rewarded with well over 100,000 visitors to your Page.

The key with Digg, like most Social Networks, is build a good network of friends and to avoid submitting and voting for only your own links. Try to submit a variety of links and be consistent, over time your patience could pay off with a gem and a quick trip to the front page.

You can also use the Digg Bookmarklet, this will help you submit links from your browser.

Reddit.com is a great community and one of the best at filtering the best content to the front page. Reddit will reward you with traffic, but will also bury your submissions if you don't respect the community and ignore the Reddiquette.

Reddit has hundreds of "sub-reddits" and sometimes you will find a more appropriate audience by submitting it to a niche Reddit community.

Blogger is the easiest way to set-up a blog and begin sharing your work. If you have a blogger blog you can can connect and create blogrolls to all the Mahaloians who the more active bloggers you have on your blog roll the higher your Google Page Rank ends up becoming.

Also, Mahalo widgets work real well on Blogger and help bring traffic to your Mahalo page. Every time you claim or create a new page on Mahalo you should update blog letting everybody know you are the new Mahalo Manager for that term.
