less forums

I think the 4 relating to design and development could go down to two

Because I would like to see a social media forum added ;)

Social media optimisation is a definite must Glen. We've also had a request for an Analytics forum. I'll have a look at the weekend to see if we can re-organise the forum cats.

Yep, fully agree Paz. We just need to define in detail to members what the difference is between Social Media Optimization and Social Media Marketing. I think Glen can do those definitions without giving it a second thought. :grin:

lol yeah I wrote a pretty big blog post about it, to put it simply though

SMO = All the things you can do to a site that allows it to be more social. (adding bookmarking buttons, allowing comments, maybe ratings etc)

SMM = Getting out there and promoting your content on blogs, social bookmarking sites etc

SMO is basically the onpage-optimisation of SEO

You see what I mean! :-D
I will write a nice tutorial on SMO for the thread. Get the creative juices flowing on the topic if you do not mind, Glen.
