Social Media is extremely time consuming.
If you are like me and active in all the top social communities, it can take the majority of your time just keeping up with the changes, interacting with the community, and following your various social media campaigns.
The good thing is that for each community you decide to get involved with, there are numerous tools that can help save you a ton of time.
To be honest, I have developed most of the tools I use daily, but there are quite a few free ones that I would not want to go without. Most of them I wrote about in a recent article for SearchEngineLand.com entitled “Tools For Engaging In Social Media“.
I definitely recommend you give them a try as they have saved me a lot of time and energy in my social media campaigns.
If you have some tools, developed or public, that you want to share with me, please feel free to shoot me an email. I am always happy to test new applications out and if they rock, I will likely blog about them or you.
thanks for the list. this is really very useful. SMO is pretty time consuming so its nice to hvae a list of effective tools to help keep up with them.
Thank you for the information. I found you from a response you gave in yahoo answer.
