Editor's Notes
Which one do you prefer?
Tell the stories
Other Social – Where users are sharing the content (Twitter, Fark, Stumbleupon, Reddit)Other Referrals – Where curators are including links (Google News, Yahoo News, HuffPo, Drudge)Search – Google, Yahoo, Bing, MSN, Ask
This builds by product.
We went into this with the hypothesis that you’re going to get much more meaningful results with direct connection. For example, if you lose your cat, posting some signs may do the trick, but it’s not as effective as calling friends who care to help you look for the cat.
