OK I find this new tool from Google called Knol (yes it is finally in public beta). It is like Squidoo or Wikipedia. I set up my first Knol - How to trade Credit Spreads Knol and of course I want the rest of the world to know about this cool thing I found! So I go to Digg and try and submit my Knol to their site and Digg doesn’t recognize the url!

I run through the submission process entering my url to submit and Digg comes back with a message stating - “This link does not appear to be a working link. Please check the URL and try again.”

Here’s the actual link - knol.google.com/k/daniel-beatty/how-to-trade-credit-spreads# Now I tried it with and without the # sign at the end and neither worked. Of course the url works in my browsers, so what gives? Any ideas?

I could be a conspiracy theorist and say that either Google does not like Digg or Digg does not like Google but …nah there must be some type of technical glitch. I hope they figure it out because I might think mine is cool but I am sure there will be other cool ones out there that will make mine pale in comparison - like instructions on how to get a date with a super model.

One of the tools that I use to promote my websites and others are the social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Digg, etc, etc.

If you do not know what these are these are the core sites for the Web 2.0 craze. Here are a couple of my profiles that you contact me or friend me or follow me or digg me or whatever the web 2.0 site wants you to do to me…

Digg - http://digg.com/users/danielbeatty 

I could give you others but these are the ones I frequent most often. Look me up on one or all of them.

OK I really should not even post the results because I received such a pathetic amount of survey takers. However since I said I would post the results I will.

Favorite Submission Site - Propeller at 66% of the vote

Favorite Social Network - Facebook at an outstanding and impossible but it did happen 100%

Favorite Bookmarking Site - Stumble Upon at 62% of the vote

Now the reasons almost all had the same theme - easy to use and produced good traffic

Now for the site links - Also a pathetic amount submitted in fact one person even put my website in as a link…LOL

OK I am going on vacation and will be back around Christmas. In the meantime I would like to conduct a little Web 2.0 survey to find out which Web 2.0 sites are your favorite.

I will post the results on December 26th along with the small token of appreciation for taking the survey. You will find this gift as the last question of the survey.
