This post brought to you by SocialSpark.
After months of following the news, and waiting for it's debut and alpha testing, I was finally able to sign up for SocialSpark. I created a profile and you can see it here. I picked this profile because it was the first one I thought of, and can tell you how easy it was to set up. Just answer a few questions and it gets in there (or if there's some things you'd rather not display, they're cool about that, as well). And it's easy to change or update, it isn't like some sites where you have to poke around the website trying to figure it out. It's the next step that Izea is undertaking for those who write posts for money, but SocialSpark is a lot more than that. It's also a social network where you can check out fellow bloggers, and even ask to be their friends, much like those other social networking sites, but without the spam and getting slammed big-time for friends requests, a lot of those not being actual real people.
