Editor's Notes
- You: 1) Stuck in meetings
- 2) You have NO time
- 3) And, the onslaught of potential social media and digital tools to use with your clients just continues to explode
- Home page—highlight diff areas
- Different ways to view your Feedly
- Magazine layout
- Index layout
- Pinterest-like layout
- Full article layout
- Individual stories then look like this when you click on them in Feedly; multiple bookmarking (Evernote, Instapaper, Pocket) and sharing (G+, Twitter, FB, LinkedIn) options at top.
- Preferences allow you to set your Feedly just the way you want it;
- Mashable isn’t really even a social media news site anymore…
- Looks for signals. People you trust. Quick reads (most posts should be 400-600 words)
- Background noise: Have on all day Check at 8 am, noon and 4 pm
- I look for: People who tweet interesting things that most do not (Adam Kmiec); topics that most aren’t tweeting about from different angles
- Just a few to start with…
- Jason Keath started this FB advertising group. I use it to stay current on FB advertising. Group of super-users.
- Love SocialMedia.org’s email for case studies from the biggest companies in the US—tons of good examples and ideas here.
- PSFK isn’t necessarily social focused, but it’s keyed in to the latest trends across the creative business. Scott’s enewsletter is a treasure trove of stats, tools and case studies each week.
- Pinterest-like layout—easy to read Curates from all sorts of sites—from The Atlantic to The Verge to the Washington Post Great way to see what EVERYONE is talking about—not just the digerati
- Or get it delivered straight to your inbox
- Zite
- Zite
- Here’s what it looks like
- Tags: use to categorize Search: another easy way to find content once you’ve bookmarked it Titles: Easy way to scan (I do this every week with Talking Points)
- Use the Diigo bookmarklet—allows you to bookmark on the fly with just a couple clicks (click on bookmarklet, share this page and away you go!)
- Here’s what pops up when you click on “Save”—insert tags
- Here’s what pops up when you click “Share this page”
