While today yes there are so many different web tools to choose from and you don’t need every single one, there are also many that a business definitely can benefit from and should have for their business. Below are a select few of the web tools for social media that I think a business should definitely obtain if they haven’t already.
-
Ping.fm. Write once, publish many. Ping allows you to publish to as many as 60 social networks in less than 10 seconds (NOTE: be careful. Understand how your message is being sent and where it is going so you are not Spamming anyone.)
- Tynt is another great social media tool. Do you ever wonder what people are taking off of your website? Well with Tynt you can track what users are copying from your site.
- Google Docs. With this tool you can customize your forms for surveys and downloads in under 10 minutes, that is a huge time saver for businesses.
- Slideshare. This tool allows you to step up the value of your slide decks even beyond that of a conference presentation, as suggested on Blog.Junta42.
