If you are a frequent submitter to social networking news sites, then this resource is for you. Following is a list of resources that will make your social news networking experience easier. ( that is, until Notifir.com officially launches )

Submitting Tools

These tools help you to submit your articles to multiple social networks. You may want to build a list of bookmarks that point directly to the submit page on all the social new networks you participate in.

• SocialPoster.com
  • Generates links to submit to 40 social networking sites.
• ShareThis
  • Plugin for Wordpress to allow your audience to easily submit your site to various social networks.
• Gregarious
  • Plugin for Wordpress similar in function to Share This. Lot’s of configurable features included.
• Sharaholic
  • Plugin for Firefox that  submits to digg, del.iciou.us, facebook, google bookmarks, reddit and stumbleupon.

News Sources

If you are having trouble finding interesting news to submit, here are some resources to help you out.

• Popular on Digg
  • News sources that are popular at Digg.com organized into a tag cloud.
• PopURLs.com
  • A pre-populated aggregator similar to Netvibes and iGoogle.
• Google News
  • A wide collection of news stories.
• Newser.com
  • A news aggregation site that is human edited.
• NewsVine.com
  • User submitted news stories.

Web Based RSS Feed Tools

Now that you have the resources to find tools and submit them, use RSS feeds to track those stories and to create your own custom aggregation web page.

• NetVibes
  • Much more than a feed reader. Clean, easy to use system. I suggest this one because you can also add in bookmarks to all the social networking sites that you submit to.
• iGoogle
  • Your personalized Google page, that in addition to setting up feeds, allows you to use Google widgets. It is a good alternative to NetVibes.
• Google Feed Reader
  • Specifically for managing your feeds.
