The other day I got that question and it dawned on me that many of the tools Ive written about for the basic stuff have changed or evolved over the past six months. So I thought it might be useful to write a post outlining my current tool set for consuming sharing and interacting online. Alerts social media toolbox photo credit Wicked LIttle Cake Company It seems to me that Google Alerts might be on the scrap heap over Google as it not only suffers from lack of innovation it just seems pretty lame in terms of what it picks up anymore of Mention and Talkwalker to get alerts for things like my name brand journalists and important phrases. It seems like they tend to pick out different things so the combination is very strong.
Content consumption By now youve likely heard that Google Reader is shutting down. While this caused widespread panic and prompted lots of anxiety about replacement tools the fact is the technology is pretty simple and this opened Mobile App Development Service the door for some innovation in a long dormant space. For now I am sticking with Reeder a Mac based laptop iPad iPhone app that relies on Google Reader but says it will replace the underlying technology. I really like the interface and love that I can interact with a piece of content in the app by sharing bookmarking or saving in a variety of ways.
I use it with Buffer to share lots of content to Twitter and Facebook. I think its worth noting that many people have also started to embrace tools that surface content based solely on category or the recommendation of friends rather than sticking to content produced only in blogs they subscribe to. Ive started to use a service called Newsle in this fashion. Social dashboard I have been an avid Tweetdeck user for years but recently made the switch to HootSuite. For me Tweetdeck was getting a bit tired in terms of innovation. While it took a little bit of time to embrace the somewhat more complex interface of Hootsuite Ive grow to like the tabbed profiles approach and the fact that you can get so much more information on individual profiles and tweets. I also like some of the integrations available.
