SocialScan is a website that lets you enter the URL of a websit and check the number of bookmarks it has on well known social bookmarking sites like Digg and Del.icio.us. SocialScan interface is powered by Ajax so the results are returned quickly and your browser doesn’t have to refresh to show them.
The popular social sites that SocialScan checks are Delicious, Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Myweb, Technorati, Shadows, Bloglines, Simpy, Blinklist, Diigo and Furl. So if you ever want to find out how popular is your website on Digg or any of the other social websites that SocialScan supports then head over to SocialScan. No registration required.
The only problem I noticed with it is that it doesn’t pull any info from Reddit, Technorati and Shadows. As you can see in the screenshot above it shows that MakeUseOf has no links at the respective networks, which is obviously not the case. Other than that it’s a handy service. For some other services to measure your sites popularity check out this MUO article.
