The idea is that the more people are talking about something, the more popular it is and the more important. This is a life lesson and SEs are catching up to the social scene on the web.
People love to share ideas and information, but not everyone blogs. Some times we just link to other content, or share links that link to other content.
Good practice is to have a Like button on your site, each blog post, each product page, etc. And to have a Share This on each as well.
This is the Facebook Like button. I am posting because it is a bit hard to find : )
I hope this helps

There are a lot of questions right now regarding how links will be valued by search engines and Rand's post that Mike recommended is a great place to start your research.
One other thing to consider is the power of social media to help you earn traditional links. I know that isn't what you are asking about, but it's important to think about. Twitter, Facebook, Quora, etc. can be great tools for building reputation, crafting relationships, and sharing great content with people who like to build links. As such you may get your greatest value not from the Tweets and Likes, but rather from the resulting links your social circle will create.

Calculating a combined follower score for social media
I'm working on a set of social media metrics for a client, and thought of doing a follower score - sort of like a combined influence rating of all the user's followers. Has anyone done something like this before on Facebook or Twitter? Also, what would be an effective way of creating this score?

Manual submission vs automated submission to social bookmarking sites for blog posts
Howdy Mozzers! Say we're creating great content on our blog and would like this content to be seen and shared by as many people possible. Should we submit our blog posts manually to social book marking sites or use an automated service like Only Wire? The advantage of using automation is obvious, saves time on submission. Are there disadvantages? Is google bot going to raise an eyebrow and give us a dirty look? Cheers! MozAddict

Google Places Pages and social icons
I have a business that works in many cities across Texas. Our home base is in Austin and i have a Google Places page set up for Austin. I have a page dedicated to each major city in Texas talking about clients we've worked with in each city, etc.. I am placing social icons on each page and Google Places is one of the Icons and i was concerned that if Google sees a link to our Austin places page on our Houston page that the Houston page might be considered less relevant for a Houston search being as Google takes note of addresses on pages to consider relevance. Will my page suffer in the serps if i link to our Austin local page on our other city pages in the google places icon? Second question: What are the best social icons to put on my web pages for the best traffic? Take care,
