Social News Websites at Your Hand


Up through now, in our social media class, we have discussed countless social media sources. I recently came across this post on doshdosh.com that is a great resource to check out some of the most popular social news ones used today. The post is called 48 Social News Websites: A List of General and Niche Social Media Communities. In the post, author Maki, offers a great compiled list of differnet popular social news websites you can use to get information and web traffic. After digging through hundreds of different sites, Maki's list delivers those that are the most comprehensive, useful, spam-free, respected and resourceful. They all give the freshest news. Some of the sites included on the list are Reddit, Digg, Propeller, Newscloud, Stirrdup, Stumbleupon and Hubspot.


After reviewing the list myself, I found several mentions that we discussed in class. Each time Maki mentions a website, she gives a desciption of their purpose along with a picture to identify it with. This is a great site if you are looking for specific categorized news sites or topics. It can be used for blog topics, research...etc.
