WritAnon on Qwisk

Last week, WritAnon was one of the first communities to join a relatively new social networking site called Qwisk.

We’re pretty excited about this site.

What is Qwisk?

Qwisk is a social networking site focused on sharing links with your friends. There are elements of the site that may remind some users of Twitter, but I think it’s even more useful.

The idea behind Qwisk is to share interesting websites with other users. You have a couple of options for sharing links: either using their viewer on their page, or if you’re a Firefox user (like me), you can also install their extension.

I find that the extension is more useful since it’s always on. I can also hide or show the community’s links as I browse, depending on my preference.

I’ve added the current feed from the WritAnon community in the blog sidebar, so you can get a taste of what information is available there. I plan to share all kinds of interesting links to the community, so please feel free to join and start sharing what you have as well.

What’s in it for you?

Besides seeing lots of interesting stories, you will also have the opportunity to become a community leader.

How do you do so?

Simply share links. As others share the same link, you’ll gain points. The people with the most points are labeled the community leaders.

If you like something someone else shared, share it again so others can see it!

How is WritAnon associated with Qwisk?

Qwisk has a personal connection with WritAnon: I know the people who founded and run the company. The folks at Qwisk are dedicated to making this tool useful for everyone, and believe in the power of social browsing.

We’re also one of the first communities on Qwisk, so we have the opportunity to grow as Qwisk itself grows. This is a cool opportunity for WritAnon to take advantage of a different audience and hopefully pull in a few new writers to join the community here as well.

Please check out WritAnon’s extended community on Qwisk at http://qwisk.com/groups/1924/. Hope to see you there!
