http://sharethehigh.com is live!

And considering how many times I have typed that url out recently, I am glad it’s short and easy to remember.

Beyond my personal life (which is all about raising two awesome kids)… my other greatest interests are in web development, social media, and running. So it only made sense to merge these interests into one awesome endeavor – create a social news site just for runners!

It’s only been live for a few days, and I’ll only be able to promote it before or after work hours… so we’ll see how it goes.  I see a lot of ways that a site like this can help though. There are a lot of runners on the web – writing, blogging, and tweeting. This site can turn into a great resource for sharing and navigating all that content. But of course, first it will take getting a decent flow of links coming in – which requires members, and that takes time.

One step at a time. One step at a time.

Share the High is a new social news site just for runners! And what would a social news site be without its own blog as well.

For the underlying platform, I am giving Pligg another try, but didn’t decide to do so until I took a fresh look around to see what else was out there. There were some promising platforms, but because Pligg still seems to active and because I am already familiar with it – I decided to give it another try. Hoping this time around to keep the spammers at bay. We shall see.

I’ll also be tweeting running related tweets from @sharethehigh… so if you are a runner – please let me know and I’ll be sure to follow.
