Logos are special they tell your viewers everything about you in one blink. At that very special moment the brain registers that info, it’s crucial that your logo be ;

• Memorable / Easy to Remember
• Attractive Eye Candy ALWAYS helps
• Unique and stands out from other sites/businesses

Why pay a designer $200-500 for a small simple logo that you can make yourself with some inspiration?

Since the early 2000’s social sites such as Digg & Stumbleupon were barley heard of. Presently in 09′ the social bookmarking scene has exploded exponentially leading more people to find popular posts by visiting their favorite sites or finding out by word of mouth (or tweet) via Twitter.

I’ve compiled a slightly subjective list of the most popular social bookmarking sites according to statistical data from Alexa.com & Compete.com.

My only critique of social bookmarking sites is that its becoming more and more fractured and segmented. I’m not entirely sure if this is a good thing for bloggers. Personally I despise blogs that use more than 6-7 sharing buttons. But I get the feeling that in the next 3-4 years we’ll have 300 different social bookmarking sites devoted to different topics.

Social Bookmarking Sites of 09′

#	Social Site	Google PageRank	Compete.com	Alexa.com
1	Digg	8	33,433,760	184
	“Technology focused news site where the stories are chosen by community members rather than editors.”
2	Twitter	9	7,935,441	96
	“Social networking and microblogging service utilising instant messaging, SMS or a web interface.”
