Here are some interesting tidbits I found around the web this week that I thought you might be interested in:
Why You Should Consider Adding Social Media Buttons To Your Site
There’s a new study by BrightEdge.com that talks about the impact of having (or not having) social media buttons on your web page(s).
The data, which was taken from the top TEN THOUSAND sites online, showed that webpages that have the “Tweet” button saw SEVEN TIMES more link mentions than webpages that did not have one! You can read more about it here: http://www.brightedge.com/2011-09-01-brightedge-September-social-share

Why You Shouldn’t Use Link Shorteners like Bit.ly
Aweber just released a list of blacklisted link shortening services, which showed that some of the MOST POPULAR services may not be a good choice to use when sending out your auto-responder emails.
You can see the entire list of these shorterners here: http://www.aweber.com/blog/email-deliverability/link-shorteners.htm
By the way, did you know that you can setup your own link shorterner (with all kinds of bells and whistles) by downloading and installing a free script at: http://yourls.org/

Ask.com is Returning To its Roots
Ask.com is starting to change away from being a search engine, to a real “Q&A” community (that is completely human powered by the way). Sort of like how it was years ago with AskJeeves.com (remember that one?). I use Ask.com quite often for ideas (during niche / keyword discovery sessions)… I’m thinking it might be another great resource like Yahoo Answers in a not too distant future.
Tom Loftus at WSJ wrote a pretty interesting article about the changes happening with Ask.com here: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2011/09/01/ask-com-wants-to-channel-your-inner-jeeves/
