Here's a social network that makes sense!

One of the most common complaints from online marketers is information overload.  Let's face it, every day you're bombarded with information, tips, tricks and tutorials. You're constantly searching the web looking for information to help you improve your life and business. You've probably got hundreds of bookmarks that are totally disorganized, unread pdfs, unwatched videos and random scratchpads with bits of info collecting dust somewhere. (But hopefully you have consumed the products you have received from me!) But chances are.. you just forgot some valuable nugget of info you learned a month ago but forgot to write down. Think back and remember how much time you've spent looking for information you once had at your fingertips, but let it go into nothingness.  What is the sum of that forgotten knowledge worth?   It's a lot right? If you're anything like me, you're learning so much on a daily basis it's virtually impossible to keep track of all that knowledge. At least it was until Dan Nickerson presented me with one of the simplest social networking concepts I've ever seen. It's called Pagellan and it allows you to create your own personal knowledge base.  It's kind of like Twitter except you can categorize, tag and archive your posts forever.  http://bit.ly/g5sePX You can keep your posts totally private or make them public and share them with the world.  Users can comment on the public posts. When you have a piece of knowledge, info or wisdom you wish to save you just post, tag and categorize it.  Then whenever you need it again you can find it via the search tool in seconds.  On other social networks this information gets lost after a few weeks, or is impossible to find. There's no spam or self promotion allowed in the public post system. Those users get their posts set to private only, or just get them deleted. However, you can follow others to see their public knowledge streams or search the complete knowledge base to learn more about any topic. Like many of Dan's ideas, it's really clever.  That why he is the V.P. of Ideas at my company.  (Isn't that an awesome title?) Best of all there's no cost to use it. However, I am going to give you an affiliate link because Pagellan has an advertising model that many of you will want to take advantage of fast. Advertisers can exclusively sponsor keyword tags in the Pagellan system.  For a low monthly fee you can get an exclusive keyword backlink and 250x250 advertising space on a tag result page. I have grabbed some tags that are perfect for me.  As you can imagine, you will want to claim the tags you want first.  That will get you a targeted backlink on the site.
