Like a bird that twits, twitter lets you express yourself by posting short messages of the current happenings in your life or updates about you.

It is a free social networking and micro-blogging service.

Some people use twitter to get the latest news in the internet and also to get tips from other twitters.

Is somehow the same as Blog Catalog. The idea, is to be able to have a widget on the sidebar,  to know who visited your site, without the visitors leaving any message.

This is also good for marketers, to know bloggers or blog that is about a specific topic. You could check the community and have huge list of bloggers within that said topic. There you could get a list of people you would like to get in touch with while promoting a site.

Blog Catalog is the premiere social blog directory on the internet. Whether you’re looking to promote your own blog or find blogs on various topics.

I use Blog Catalog widget to be able to know the visitors on my blog.

TIP: It is always nice to pay a blog visit to someone who has visited yours.

Steps on installing the widget:

• Register to Blog Catalog, or if you already have an account, sign in.
• Go to Manage Blogs. Add a blog if you haven’t added a blog that you want to put the widget.
• Build a custom widget for __the blog you wanted to put the widget__.
• Edit the widget color or features according to your liking. Be sure that the width fits the width of your sidebar.
• Copy the code given and paste it to the area on your sidebar where you want it to be seen.
