If you are looking for some unique, very cool HTML comments and graphics, Sparkle Tags will have just that. An outstanding choice of Military comments, generators, backgrounds, music skins, contact tables, and network banners along with Sparkle Tags videos and a host of great layouts. The fluttering butterfly graphics are very nice and hands down a winner. Sparkle Tags is also quite compatible with the Ning blog social networks, Hi 5, MySpace, Live Journal, and Friendster. They also have a free download toolbar for hot news, top links, online radio, fun gadgets, and a Google Search.

Digg and Technorati are Social bookmarkmarking sites. Digg is more of a casual setting than Technorati but will gain you popularity on the web with your sites, blogs, and your choices of other articles that you Digg! Connected to MyBlogLog as well, everytime you Digg something, it also shows up on MyBlogLog.
Technorati is an awesome bookmarking site with a business style layout. Don’t get overwhelmed at Technorati though, take it a little at a time because you really don’t want to miss out on what Technorati has to offer. The SEO help this site will get you with sites like YouTube and Blog Talk Radio is well worth the learning time here.
Technorati isn’t as geared towards friending as it is favoriting Blog Sites. At Digg both are featured.

Social Network Outages
Has anyone even noticed the amount of Social Network Outages lately? Is everyone doing updates at the same time, during the same two weeks? MyBlogLog? Utterz? Hi 5? PageSwirl? Facebook? Wetpaint? Pownce? and More? Yes, we all have experienced the daily Twitter glitches from too many Tweets at a time, but…. There is an awful lot of sites going down for a bit and taking a vacation of sorts to regroup, don’t you think?
I am not one to guess or anticipate the reason why these sites are all updating during the same time frame, but… hmmmm… Quite curious I think… Are we experiencing droves of newcomers to the Social Networking World and the sites need to take a breath to catch up? Or are we all getting set up for bigger and better things ahead? I will keep in touch with this topic and find out more.

What an easy to navigate fun site for “1 upping” and Mixx This! It is the same principle as sites like Digg, is one of the easiest sites yet I have put together and navigated.

Bebo is a fun clever social network and has a “taste” of other social networks melded into the scope of Bebo. The site tracker is a very neat tool that automatically is part of your Bebo home page. Get a look at where your visitors are coming from by clicking on “Who Visited My Profile?” Bebo has a taste of WordPress, Site Meter, or Google Analytics right on the home page.
They also have a Twitter like function of a blurb, bubble, or thought box as well. Add your random daily thoughts in a micro blog way here.
Adding photos, videos, and apps is easy here at Bebo, which reminds me a bit of MySpace and Facebook.
To get a taste of Wetpaint add the app of the whiteboard. It is kind of like the wetpaint Paint Splatters where you create a vison on the board for yourself and your friends with a Bebo flair.
Writing stories reminds me of the coolness at Live Journal too. For the bloggers who have a page at Bebo, get writing!
Of the cool Blogs and social networks, Bebo is a great one 🙂

This looks like a very nifty site in general. Robert let me know about this site through a comment to the blog here and I wanted to see about it. Anytime anyone has a site they find and wants me to do a bit of a “review” on, let me know through a comment and i will get right on it 🙂
Onto Zonzia Dot net! Directly to to the upper left side of the home site, there are 3 links to Site Tour, Site Help, and Success Stories that I recommend highly for just basic navigation and getting to know the site.
I found the initial “set-up” process extremely quick and easy. The navigation links are all laid out to “make sense” so are fast to find, and a breeze to get around.
