Improving The Viral-ability Of Your Blog Posts

Here’s how the PSFK team are developing the code of each blog post to encourage viral-ability. The code below has Tag code to help it get picked up by Technorati, Title code to help it get picked up by Google, Link text as titles to help it get indexed better by search engines, code to help del.icio.us users add the post to their links, code to help digg users add the post to the digg database of cool article links, and Email This functionality.
