Weekly Social Media sites, tools and posts round-up (11-03-2010)

March 12th, 2010 by Andy Merchant

Welcome to another instalment of the ‘Weekly Social Media sites, tools and posts round-up’.

1. First off this week we have the newly announced Google Apps Marketplace. The Marketplace is full of useful additions/plugins to your existing Google suite of tools.

2. Giga Tweet is a live Twitter counter of how many Tweets have been sent and the ongoing number of Tweets being sent right now - interesting stuff!

3. A lot of noise can be heard about Foursquare. FourWhere is a mashup of both FourSquare and Google maps. What they say: “FourWhere helps you find places visited by Foursquare users, and read any comments/tips they made about these places”.

4. Base Kit allows you to create hosted websites from .psd files for £10.00 per month. So if you’re hot at designing in Photoshop but not so hot at coding, this could be a good alternative.

5. What do you suggest is a visual tool that uses Google’s suggestion feature. Type in a word or phrase, and then follow it to the answer. Very cool!

"I have a lot of respect for Liberate Media as they know exactly how a
relationship should be between a PR and journalist. Wendy's journalist
background obviously helps, and they both have a really good understanding
of news and what a journalist needs to do their job effectively. I tell all
of my reporters to take their calls, and their good reputation extends far
beyond NMA."
