Search all your social medias with Lijit

Lijit is an exceptionally good tool for bloggers. It helps you to give your readers an option to search ALL your social medias, and I mean ALL. That includes delicious,facebook,digg, stumble upon and quite a lot more. All your bookmarks, all your micro blogs and even all your contacts in those networks along with their social medias (opt in) are searchable with Lijit.

It is a small widget with a search bar that can sit on your sidepanel.

Now it makes more sense to have a lijit widget (wijit as they prefer to call it) on your blog so that your readers can find sites and information that you think are good. It helps you to improve and fulfil that personal commitment to your readers. And readers should find it interesting too.

According to Lijit, it think searching on Lijit is like doing a search in real life.

When your readers search for information in real life, their first step is to typically seek out a friend for the answer. If their friend doesn’t have the answer they need, someone in that friend’s social network may. Eventually, they get an answer they trust, because it came from a source they trust. Your readers can now have that same experience on the web and it all starts with the source they trust. That source is you, the blog publisher.

It’s a very good concept and I totally agree to it. Unfortunately their widget didn’t quite “style” itself to my theme so I had to remove it after placing it the first time. But. I’m contacting them to customize it the way I want it.
