So, Amazon is doing some pretty cool stuff in social media these days. I definitely recommend signing-up to become an associate if only for the sake of checking out some of the opportunities they’ve got for online content publishers. For example, check out this dynamite carousel widget I’ve got below!

I first saw these revolving on online radio station KCRW’s site. Their deejays each created one for their Top-10 albums of 2008. Because of love myself – and my paramount taste in music – I created one for my Top-10 albums from last year. They’re in no particular order – except, TV on The Radio’s Dear Science is definitely numero uno.

I’ve been all over a lot of these sports syndication sites recently. They’re a great aggregator for what is going on online in the sports universe. I ran a quick compete.com comparison with my top-3 (BallHype.com, Yardbarker.com, ArmChairGM.com):

Personally, I thought BallHype would come out on top. It is definitely the site where I see pages by the most influential sports bloggers. Interestingly enough, FanIQ.com also came in at just under 100,000 monthly uniques (placing it above BallHype as well).

I hope to have widgets for all my profile pages from these sites up on this site sooner rather than later.
