Thanks to everyone who shared their favorites for the best Online Visibility tools for 2008.
I’ve come up with my list, checked it twice, and here are my votes for the best of 2008:
1. Best Overall Online Visibility Tool/Strategy
In case you haven’t noticed, social networking is how you connect and market your business now. Up to a year ago, I was razzed for using social networking to promote my business and get new clients. Now we’re all one big Web 2.0 Happy Family.
2. Best Social Networking Site
This changed every few months in 2008.
First half of 2008: Facebook
Second half of 2008: Twitter
3. Best Twitter Tool
TweetLater has saved me so much time, how can I not love it? As long as you use it correctly, it’s a dream come true.

It’s a 3-way tie:
