Weekly Social Media sites, tools and posts round up (02-10-2009)
October 2nd, 2009 by Andy Merchant
Welcome to the second installment of ‘Weekly Social Media sites, tools and posts round up’. If you have any social media or web 2.0 tools you are particularly fond of please let me know and I will scrutinise them and possibly add them to my weekly list.
Here is this week’s social media tools list in no particular order:
1. TweepML.This is a really great idea, it allows you to create Twitter user lists and then share and follow them easily. Their are already some out there. Get your list up at TweepML, you can view them here.
2. YOURLS. This neat little service lets you create a custom URL shortening service. It also allows you to collate data from each link. You might need the tech team’s help with getting it going unless you use Wordpress, as YOURLS has developed a wordpress plugin.
3. Ranking the Brands collects all brand rankings published worldwide, and adds the findings to one central resource. There are currently not that many listing but it’s worth having a trawl around the different sub categories to drill down into different sectors.
4. Twitter power 150.The Twitter version of the Power150 Ranking, now run by Advertising Age. It was published back in January 2009, so a little out of date, but still a good place to find industry experts.
5. Twitter Steam graphs. StreamGraph shows the usage over time for the words most highly associated with your search word. The graphs look pretty impressive, for a more in-depth overview visit the site.
