    There were a few glitches when running this report for Social Media Examiner. Vrank did not pick up all of the blog pages and Facebook mentions in the statistics below this initial graph. But it might still be worth a checking out.

    Amazigg: A mashup service providing a mix of Amazon.com and Digg.com data (and not connected with either of those companies). Amazigg lists products from the Amazon store which are submitted to the social bookmarking service Digg. Although this book selection is driven by Digg's social community it's a concept marketers may be interested to note.
