As the great philosopher Eric Clapton reminds us — it’s not the tools, but it in the way that you use them!
Still, for those who are curious, here is a dynamic list of social media tools that I use and recommend. Questions? Feedback? I’m also available for Personal Digital Coaching in how to use these tools ‘on purpose’ to prevent ‘random acts of social media’… Continue reading “It’s in the way that you use it…”→
First, denial. “No way, dude, that’s got to be a rumor.”
Then anger. “Don’t Be Evil my $%&! How could they do this to me?”
Bargaining. “Could a new version of Google Reader really save Digg?”
Depression. “I can haz no more LOLz.”
And finally, we come to acceptance. Yes, it’s true. Google Reader really is going away on July 1. So if you haven’t rustled up an alternative yet, it’s time.
If you’re a Google Reader user, obviously you need a new tool to read your subscriptions. We have a few thoughts for you on that.
But if you’re a content publisher, you’ll also need to make sure that your audience has a way to continue tuning in for everything you do.
Feel free to point your audience to this post, or you may want to craft a message of your own with more individualized suggestions for your audience’s needs. But be sure you send out a clear, specific call to action and keep those subscribers on board — no one wants to lose a big chunk of their audience just because a tool goes away.
Frankly, I went through all these stages a month or so ago and happily shifted my attention to feedly which I had used as an alternative to Google Reader since 2009. I’m happy to say that the folks at feedly have really shone in stepping up as the only logical choice to replace Google Reader…
It syncs flawlessly in the cloud
You can automate it with ifttt.com now
It has better features and is more eye appealing than Google Reader
Take a look;
So, Google Reader — good riddance! feedly rocks…
PS I do NOT agree with Simone that email is a replacement for Google Reader! Email should be preserved for ‘just in time’ information; send the just in case stuff to feedly!
Whether you’re actively posting or just browsing through your social streams, things move pretty fast. A post is often there one minute and gone the next. With hundreds of millions of status updates and tweets sent every day, finding them later is next to impossible. Here are 5 tools to help you hang on to those updates through archiving social media posts you’d like to save.
Do you ever experience a continual live stream of negative chatter flowing from your mind?
Like many of us, you may have tried to switch off these destructive voices, but as they run so deep, you don’t even know where they’re coming from.
Sayings like, “You’re not interesting, smart or beautiful enough”, may strike you when you least expect them to… dampening your mood and causing you to sometimes wrongly internalize them as truths.
In this soul-aligning, 5-minute video, Byron Katie, inspirational speaker and expert at questioning thoughts that cause anger, fear, depression, addiction and violence, shares a powerful technique to overcome what she calls “the underworld of our thoughts.”
It’s something that we all crave, but perhaps something we don’t necessarily know how to create or have.Truly being intimate with someone is about exposing your most cherished traits, but also about allowing your fears and weaknesses to be seen too.In this video which is less than a minute long, inspirational speaker and spiritual teacher, Iyanla Vanzant, gives us a quick lesson in what it takes to be intimate, and how it must start with us being intimate with ourselves first.
I’m with you, Jen. Studies show that most people edit their social stream on Facebook to make their lives look more appealing. Actually, your image contains healthy intention from my perspective…
Bright, shiny objects!
