Six Good Social Media Blogs

by Daria Steigman on October 8, 2008

I read a variety of blogs that could be labeled as “social media,” but they typically fall into two categories: 1) Web sites and tools for managing social media; and 2) practitioners talking about strategies and tactics for applying social media.

In the first category, my favorite site is Download Squad, an aggregator of technology and social media blogs. I subscribe to its social software and blogging feeds. In the last two days I’ve read posts on new Twitter client Toro and RSS reader FeedDemon. While I may never use either application, it doesn’t hurt to know they exist.

A second blog that’s very useful is I’m on Linked In — Now What?, which looks at tips for using the social networking site effectively.

In the second category, here are four blogs I really like:

Reading Blogs

by Daria Steigman on October 6, 2008

I’m constantly amazed by how many of my communications breathren avoid the blogosphere with excuses like “my clients only care about traditional media” or “I don’t have time for that.” Well, you’ll have plenty of time soon enough if you miss out on a business opportunity because you didn’t spot a trend or fail to alert a client to what’s being Twittered and blogged about her company.

The conversation is happening. Are you going to join?

If you’re still waivering, there’s a great post on ReadWriteWeb discussing why more people should be reading blogs at work.

In my next post, I’ll tell you what I’m reading.
