Brand and target audience

Social bookmarking is all about contributing and building into a community before taking out. The goal of this exercise is to join and explore the three social-bookmarking sites and then meaningfully contribute to one and earn a reputation as a value creator. This will pay off down the road, when you start sharing your own more promotion-oriented content.
