I Digg Marktd!

Marketers now have their own version of Digg and Reddit called marktd – marketing news for marketers by marketers. People can add articles and blog posts about marketing issues that are then rated by other readers. The best articles will rise to the top and hopefully this will become a useful resource for the field.

Right now there are two things that need to be improved for this to succeed for me. First, they need to add a category for social marketing, because none of the categories describe the articles that I would likely be adding. I have sent an email to the site’s creator, Piers Fawkes of PSFK, with this suggestion, and I’m hoping they will fix that. The other problem is that the site does not yet have critical mass to ensure both a steady stream of good content and sets of eyes to rate all the articles that are posted. In the early stages, it’s likely that a lot of good material will be missed simply because not enough people are looking at each item that comes in.

UPDATE: There is now a category for social marketing articles! I hope you will join me in filling that category with articles and blog posts you think are most useful for social marketers.
