Blog post: 40+ Social News Websites

I enjoy these type of lists because they allow me to find something new and they demonstrate how many tools there are that I will never use. Dosh Dosh, which is a blog about making money online, frequently focuses on social networking because these sites are helping us to connect, promote ourselves and make money. However, even the author of Dosh Dosh realizes that some social networking tools are not worth checking out. So how do you decide which ones to invest your time in? Ask these questions:

• Does it sound interesting?
• Would it provide new access, contacts or information?
• Would it be important enough to make a space in your schedule for it?

If you answer "yes" to all three questions, then give the site a try. Even then, you may find that it really isn't worth it, but at least you gave it a try.

If you answer "no" to all three questions, then skip the site and spend your time elsewhere.
