Social Networking
With social networking there are probably a billion different ways to go about this. However, the goal in the end is to further promote yourself quickly without having to update 50 different account on 20 different social networks while generating traffic from those social networks to your blog or website.
Honestly there are many plugins that do basically the same things, they add icons to your website which can be clicked and to your social network profile, or when clicked they become your “friend” or follow you or it shows all their friends that they “like you”. This can generate a lot of traffic now’a days with Facebook and Twitter and others reaching millions of people very quickly. The other way of integrating your social networking with your website is by publishing your activity on social networks to your website and/or publishing your activity on your website to social networks.
Plugins like:
and many others can help you link your website with your social network profiles (obviously you should also link your social network profiles to your website). Some of them require widgetized areas in your themes, so be careful when choosing themes.
Other plugins like:

These plugins can save you a lot of time trying to update all your different social networks and get the word around about your great new post. They can quickly help you to market yourself in many different social communities and let your internet identity grow significantly.
