11 Ways to Say “Thanks” with Social Media

With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching this week (for those of us in the United States), it’s the time of year when we think about what we’re thankful for. Here’s a list of ways to say thank you using the web and social media:

1. Promote someone’s content – link up their work on your blog, Twitter stream, or Facebook.
2. Send a thank you note as a private Facebook message.
3. Become a “fan” of someone’s Facebook page.
4. Send a thank you note by writing on someone’s Facebook wall or fan page.
5. Leave a meaningful comment on someone’s blog post.
6. Leave a Flickr testimonial – go to someone’s Flickr profile page, near the bottom is the option to write a testimonial where you can leave a public comment of how much you appreciate their work.
7. Say thanks in less than 140 characters with a public Twitter @reply.
8. Say thanks with a Twitter direct message.
9. Create a recommendation for someone on LinkedIn – go to their profile page and write up a bit if you’d recommend them.
10. Offer to write a guest blog post for someone.
11. Record a short video testimonial of yourself talking about how great someone is, then share that video.

How else can one say “thanks” via social media?
