   The Social Media Marketing plan for 2009 must include:
   Syndicated RSS feeds
   Video and other graphic content
   Profiles on major highly traveled sites (My Space, Digg, Facebook etc.)
   Opt-in subscriptions, groups, feeds, email – mybloglog.com is a good place to start building an affinity group
   User-generated, user filtered content – the amount of content needed to rank now is more than you will consistently generate on your own – and you must have an automated way for the content producers, contributors to police themselves with user-ratings
