4.  My Space – www.myspace.com
5.  MyBlogLog (www.mybloglog.com)
6.  Digg - (www.digg.com)

9.  Del.icio.us – (http://delicious.com)
10 Yahoo Buzz – (http://buzz.yahoo.com)

I have deliberately left out Orkut, thinking most of you would have already signed up. I personally don’t like Orkut from a user standpoint. That said, it can be very well used to let your friends’ circle know about IndiaSpecial.net. Facebook is a much better tool to
get viral traffic.

A few things to remember while playing with these tools.

•   Most of these sites are there to be used. Use it effectively. Never spam !
•   Do not overdo submissions. For example, Digg.com doesn’t allow you to Digg your story more than once. You could Digg others.
•   One way to get traffic to your site is to recommend others as well – So go ahead and recommend all articles you write and like.
