With an Abundance of tools my Internet use evolves (podcast)

Today while exchanging some tweets with @simbeckhampson I recognized that my social media and web footprint has evolved over time and in the process different tools have been useful for different things:
  1. Facebook is where most of my real life friends are. I also find it more personal interaction wise.
  2. I get news from Twitter, share news and interesting info. More informal interaction wise.
  3. Blogtalkradio has opened up a nice niche for conversations with interesting people.
  4. Cinchcast - I love to call in and get ideas out while driving then I share it later.
  5. Youtube - I am big on screencasts and moving towards more personal messages (videos of me mixed in)
  6. Amplify - I am making new friends, sharing more what I am reading more and selectively share to FB, Twitter, etc.
These aren't all the tools I use, for me the key is really the data that comes in via Email. I need to re-evaluate my use of Google Reader and RSS also for incoming information. Here is the podcast that was inspired by my conversations with Paul:

Protecting Yourself from Social Media

This article was too good to pass up, an important and timely read for many people. I wonder if it will have you consider some things you had not previously: http://bit.ly/6qiDQD Thanks to @ciarianfoley for sharing this on Twitter.

Check out my Twittercloud #tweetcloud

This is a neat app for Twitter. It allows you to create a cloud based on common words you use in your Tweets.@Hackmanj #Twittercloud

Excellent Video on Social Media Marketing via PBS

Another great resource I found by following @Guykawasaki on Twitter. I am a big fan of multimedia content for learning about Social Media. Get a group of people with months or years of experience in a room together and have a conversation. The results can be very interesting. In this case the group is a very qualified panel of social media marketing professionals.
