Social media engagement has not only become one of the most important tools of spreading your word on the web but also an important tool by which Google measures your websites reach and authority. People will not “like” or “retweet” posts from a blog which doesn’t help them. Hence its logical to assume that if a site has an overpowering social media presence then it has good content. But then how are you going to build a powerful social presence online? If you have even a little bit interest on news on the web 2.0 then you might have heard that Digg was sold  at mush less its valuation than when it was originally started. The reason is the massive success of Facebook and Twitter. So if I have finally driven my point across to you then you need to actively engage your readers on social networking platforms like Facebook. To do that you need to cross publish your  blog posts to Facebook. Although there are many third party applications for that they also get free advertisement whenever you use them and then have you forgotten that you are using WordPress. WordPress is all about plugins and they have a plugin for everything. Someone smart has come up with a plugin to publish your blog posts to facebook wall or facebook fan page. The plugin is called Word Booker.
