Pikistore is an example of some of the sites springing up that allow non-code savvy users to start their own online store - similar to zlio.com which allows you to build an online affiliate store in a matter of minutes. If only the web were this easy 10 years ago!!!
I had a look at dipity and it looks like it has nice features. I like the concept of the timeline. I might try it out for my own blog.

Although the idea of giving a website access to my other accounts is a bit scary (yeah I know old fashioned) Sociagami seems like a site that would be really helpful in keeping track of all the social sites that I am part of.
Pikistore looks very promising - I will give it a try I think, as soon as I get some more details.
I have used three of them and they are genuinely good.
Has anybody here used socialmarker?. Any ideas how it is?.
Hi Alex, Yes I have used Social maker, and it works a treat. If you don’t have accounts at all the different sites the first time you use it it takes a while as you have to sign up. But after that it is fantastic. Takes about 5 minutes or less to submit to all the do-follow bookmark sites, which are the ones I use it for! Well worth it!
I’ve never heard of a lot of those - I am going to have to check out some of those - it’s always nice to try some new sites
You have some amazing resources here. It really has
been a lot of fun playing around with them. Keep up
the great work.
Hi Simon
Interesting list, most are new to me. Spotmerchant looks particularly useful. Isn’t mixx just another delicious / digg type of site?
I’ve never heard of most of these. I’ll have to check some of them out.
Tres cool…
I’ll be checking 6 of those out…already use a few. Social Marker is great…the “semi-automatic” part of it sets it apart from the spammy auto submit tools.
Thanks for the KeywordLuv
Sociagami - Nice to manage all social network accounts in one application.But does it support only Face book,twitter and myspace?
Sociagami looks great. What a relief to have something like this to manage all my profiles.
I found tubemogul.com to be truely new and powerfull approach.
I like social marker and use it. The tshirt site looks very inetresting and never seen that one before. I think it looks easier than cafe press and anyone should be able to use it.
Great list i had a few of the services but have to try the social bookmark site. Thanks some look good.
I just found one site i also tried before. Site name is post toaster did not want to put link i will let you if it is a good one or has sites the other social bookmark site does not. It worked good and has list of do follow also.
Maybe have 2 in case one is not working.
Nice list. Id never heard of pikistore before. Found it a little more difficult to use than spreadshirt, prob just not used to it
Thanks for the info. Would want to try all of them.
I absolutely love posty, I thought that I was the only one. Most of the rest of your list is new to me, but I would seriously recommend posty to any serious blogger.
I think sociagami is essential. Without a doubt my favourite. I’ll check out some of the others on your list. Thanks for sharing
Great tips, thank you. I use some of services, and I want to try all other now.
Thanks for this list. I haven’t come across any of these sites before and had no idea a service like Social Marker even existed so this should save me a lot of time.
I like the sprout builder widget builder. I never seen that one before pretty cool web service.
nice posting…
Thanks for the link to social marker. Social bookmarking has been on my agenda for a while now so this will help to make things a lot easier.
How many bookmark sites do you submit your sites/pages to? Is there a danger of getting your accounts suspended if you submit several pages of the same site? Or is it only a problem if you submit lots of pages all at the same time?
@ Nick, it is a good idea to submit other sites to accounts so you don’t have a huge list of pages from one site. Mix it up a bit. I run 8 sites + I have a few Niche blogs on blogger so I have a good range to submit only submitting my own stuff. You can add lots of links at the same time, just mix it up a bit. I use social maker to submit to all the do follow sites + the main sites from their list.
Pikistore looks really cool, I’ve been thinking of building an online t-shirt store and it’s a great solution. Thanks for the heads up…
I specially like social marker and sprout builder. Has used them successfully to get some visitors ad some readers too.
