Where is the Undead Rat?

Hunting High and Low

Signposts Besides setting up the . . . With Intent to Commit Horror website. I am also exploring many websites to see what they offer and how they can be used. I have an agenda here. I want to discover new and unique ways to promote authors.

In service to that agenda, I’ll periodically be publishing a list of websites where I’ve set up shop in case you’d like to come in and have a look around. I expect some websites I’ll make a permanent residence while others I’ll check out and eventually leave.

The Undead Rat’s Outposts on the Internet Superhighway of Life:

1.) . . . With Intent to Commit Horror: This is my permanent home.

2.) So Saith The Undead Rat: My blogger blog. So far it is mostly cross-posting stuff.

3.) The Undead Rat’s Blog on Vox: Again more cross-posting but occasionally I put in family stuff.

4.) The Undead Rat’s MySpace: My most successful network forum to date.

5.) The Undead Rat’s FaceBook: This link may not work if you don’t already subscribe to FaceBook.

6.) The Undead Rat’s Twitter Profile: I’m just beginning to learn how to use this. It did introduce me to Chris Brogan who is teaching me a lot about the things I should be doing with social networking.

7.) LibraryThing: This is my profile. Here I am collecting all of the books I own in my library.

8.) GoodReads: This is my profile. Here I am collecting all the books I’ve read, whether I own them or not.

9.) The Undead Rat’s YouTube Account: Here I’ve begun to collect trailers for horror novels as I find them.

10.) The Undead Rat’s ListsofBests: See how many Stoker and IHG award winning novels I’ve read and how many more I have yet to read.

11.) Yahoo Answers: Yes, I’ve even tried my furry paw at Yahoo Answers. Lack of time, more than anything limits my participation here.

12.) 43 Things: Actually the Undead Rat’s profile will let you see 43 Things, 43 People and 43 Places as well as AllConsuming which I haven’t kept up with.

13.) The Undead Rat’s Del.icio.us: This is another neglected tool which I really should be making better use of. I don’t know why it isn’t working for me.

Well, that’s the list for now. That is the public stuff. I am also using The 37 Signals products to try and keep myself on top of stuff. I subscribe to Backpack and I’m trying out Highrise and Basecamp. I’m also setting up shop at Second Brain but my account isn’t ready and they’re still in the testing stage.

There is a lot out there. I’ve only just scratched the surface. Where do you hang out? Is there a website you think I should be checking out? Drop me a comment and let me know.
