This is an overwhelming list. It's going to take a while to digest, but thanks!

WOW -- good lord... I had NO idea there were so darned many.... I'll have to come back to blog and explore.

Thnx Mary!

Thanks Mary!! Looks like my husband is REALLY going to hate computers now! He complains that I'm on it too much.

Wow! Your list will keep me busy till the cows come home. I will never get to all of them!

Mary, what a tremendous list. I better get busy. How did you get so smart?

Thats a big ole list thats for sure.

Thanks - Gotta weed through these and see whats worth it ... I love expanding my online precence ...

Holy moly !! That is a lot of sites to go through ! But you know you are right, this is something that the best agents should be doing. We have profiles up on some of these but have a homework assigment to do !! Thanks Mary : ) Might need to hire someone to do it !! ~ Chris

Wow this a great list. I will bookmark and go trough tomorrow.

Oh Mary! More homework... YIKES!!! I'm too old for this.

I will bookmark this and check them out. That is quite a list of sites.

That's a great list to review Mary. Thank-you

Mary, What an impressive list! Like your new photo!

Chris, let me know who you are hiring...maybe we can get a two-fer.

You've really cracked the whip Mary! I'd better get to work!

Thanks for the list.

Well Mary, thank you, I think! This is the Master of all lists. Not sure I am ready for all of this. I just started to figure out Facebook.

Mary,

Like the new photo.

Do these social networks need more attention than just a profile? They are in alphabetical order - is there a better ordering priority.

It is hard keeping up with the networks I am on - AR, blogger, twitter, face book, linkedin, blogx3, yammer, plus several RSS blog and news feeds, trulia, zillow.

100 is a lot.

Although looking over the list, there are several I did not know had places to put a profile.

Thanks,

Richard

Mary, I'm on some but not all I guess I have my work ahead of me the next few days.

Do you really have a profile on every one of those social networks? And even if you get a profile on all of them - you'll never be able to maintain a presence on every one!

Mary..... first off, awesome new photo.... 2nd of all, thanks for list. I guess I will need to hire two assistants just to set me up on these?

On another matter, I need to speak to you about your list... about how I can link one blog to most of these... also, I left you an e-mail 3 weeks ago, to help out with my other project. Please call me... 609-440-5133 thanks, jeff

jeff belonger

Great list, mary. I'd like to hear more about the WHY we should be on 100 networks. Not doubting, just curious. Maintenance, I would think, would be near impossible, unless you just put up a profile and leave it, save for those that really matter.

Jeff

Hi Mary...lots of work her girl, thanks for the directory, I'll be sure to bench mark this one.

Hey is That You? LOVE your New photo, Can you make me look that Good too?

Cheers, thanks for sharing your list!

Wow, these social networks are EVERYWHERE!! Thank you for the list, I'll have to keep coming back to it!

Quite a list you got going here Mary. I am familiar with most of them but will check out the few I don't. Thanks for posting them.

These are alot of sites, some I already a part of and some I had no idea. Gonna have to start looking at them. Thanks!

Thanks for the list. Wow who has the time to setup a profile on each? It would be nice to see how important some of these sites are and why, but then again that is more work than us each setting up a profile on each site.

Theres got to be a perfect number of sites to be on. This list should help us get started.

Mary

Thanks for a very comprehensive list.

I understand the concept of "be everywhere" but the time spent to be on all these sites may not be worth it.

I would go with top visited ones and the ones where consumers are likely to find you.

Being on 10% of the above sites would probably give you 90% of the benefit

Here is my top ten in no particular order:

Active Rain

HomeGain

Linked in

Facebook

Zillow

Twitter

Trulia

mybloglog

Yahoo

localism

Thanks for the info there Mary...now the$64k question??? Is there a service to submit your profile to ALL of them at once??? If not theres a new business model for someone...I would pay for it!!

Regards

Rick

Nice new picture by the way....

Mary,

Thanks for the post. Always learning and much to do. But it is all good!

wow, my head is spinning... that is a lot... good to have your posting again though Mary... it has been awhile..

chris the implementer

Wow - we thought we used a lot of sites but we are missing a lot of them! Thanks for the list.

Thanks Mary....I have many of these, but I see now I have a lot more work to do!

WOW! Great post. I'm going to check these out. Thank you for sharing.

I know what I can do now when I can't sleep.

Mary As usual you are a wealth of info - thanks for sharing!

Now THAT's a list. Guess I know what I'll be doing for the next few days, LOL!

Mary, thanks for republishing this list. It really works, you are so right! I've been spending weeks getting through this list, but it's made a huge difference in my outside blog's ranking in Google. Thanks for all of your help and advice.

Holy cow!! I gues I could sign up for a couple per day....

Wow Mary! Nice list. You are the queen of research. Seriously can't figure out when you sleep, but you are amazing. Thanks for the comprehensive list.

With such huge list I have some questions

Are there some sites that stand out as more important than others?

If there is no service yet for someone to do updates - what would people be willing to pay for such a service? Hmmm...

This is a great comprehensive list. I thought I was hooked into a lot of networks, but I've got some work to do. I should also mention that the best way I've found to keep up with your status updates on so many social network is through ping.fm. It'll save you A LOT of time.

Hi Mary: As others have stated, "wow". I will add a big thank you as well. It does take some time to create and get your profiles up and running site by site. However, I've spent considerable time over the past couple of months creating profiles and must admit that you really begin to see the importance and do notice a difference in visibility. I've found a number of new Active Rain members and links to their blogs as a direct result of stumbling upon their profile on an outside social networking site.

Thank you again for the list!

Mary,

I had one of my assistants set these up for me and a few of these are um, not great to be on for real estate anywayz. Now I am getting random emails from random people that want to date me or something....geeze.....

Hi Mary,

Great List! Have you had experience on all of them, or do you have a shorter number of favorites (besides ActiveRain, of course). I'll have to kill an afternoon looking at all the ones I never heard of.

Good stuff, thanks for taking the time to share. I like the new picture.

Mary You Rock..thank you for the valuable information you ALWAYS have in your posts...

I love "Top" lists. Great job on creating this extensive list. It amazes me how people find you. I have also had some good success listing my company on on line directories.

Thanks again for the great info.

Good Post.

lol.

Good Gawd! I thought I was on top of it before ... Now I need to hire someone JUST to join social networks for me.

Wow that is a huge list...I also thought the same as Mariana and thought that I was on top of things but that just goes to show me that everyday there is alot of room for improvement! Thanks for the amazing list

Wow who has time for all of that? I can barely do a couple!

This is an awesome list. Truly there is a lot of social butterflies out there. It is almost overwhelming to think that one should be diong something but what and how? So much to think about and digest.

Thanks Mary, now I have even more work...lol

Thanks for the time you took to build this list for us Mary!!!

OCT

It's an awesome list... but there is NO way in this world I could get to anything more than AR and now Facebook. I have to have some time to show property!!

Basically, I feel my job is to help folks.. I just don't have the time for more than the two I have. Sometimes that is challenging!!!
