Social media dorks are tech savvy guys and gals, who blog, tweet, and digg – they do anything to build their own online empire.

A new viral video 'Now You're the New Dork' talks about how these social creatures love sites such as Mashable and Techcrunch. Mashable is a heaven for geeks: it's one of the fastest growing tech blogs. Techcrunch is similar, it collects the hottest news on social media and web start-ups.

Any social media dork wants to know what is hot on the web: popular Web sites, viral videos, and hot searches.

Google Trends give a pretty good understanding of what the world is searching for online. Twitter shows its trending topics as well, but whatthetrend.com explains why a certain topic is trending.

And having your own Web site will definitely score some cool points. Online, if people don't talk about you, you don't exist.

That's why most social media nerds own a Web site, and are constantly trying to market it. True social media dorks breathe HTML code, but the less savvy entrepreneurs create sites with GoDaddy, Wordpress and Posterous.

And the goal: to make it big online. Whether it's through search engine optimization, writing an e-book, or promoting a blog, being web savvy is cool!
