This means efficiency is key.

From newbie to expert, here are the best social media tools for your business

From newbie to expert, here are the best social media tools for your business | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

When people ask, “what are the best social media tools I should be using to be a better social media marketer?” I have difficulty answering. The truth is, it depends greatly on how savvy you are — some tools would be too complex and give you too much information to sift through, for example, if you are a new user.


So I’ve made a list of 16 different tools in four major social media marketing categories and organized them by level. Some people might not be the same level across the chart, though. In building a website, they might not have any problem putting together a brand new self-hosted WordPress site, but be at a loss to create an image. But the chart will give you an overall sense of where you should be, and how to improve using these new tools....

Using Slack as a Personal Knowledge Hub

Using Slack as a Personal Knowledge Hub | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Slack is different. Being always-up-and-always-on, it keeps the state of a conversation saved and searchable, so you can go back to any message, at any point in time. This has changed the way our team conversations look like. From heavy-boilerplate dialogs, to something that resembles a single, continuous thought, gradually being developed over time.


No additional ceremony, no going back and forth. Just that, a directed thought flow, starting from a single idea, and developing over time. No wonder why agile teams like ours, previously appalled by the idea of spending time writing memos, dev logs, reports, using project management tools, etc, so happily adopted Slack....
