Five Cool New Tools for Bloggers & Social Media Pros
March 26, 2009
Social media marketing and blogging can take up most of an internet marketers time. I’ve been doing some research lately to find tools to make social media networking and blogging more efficient, less time consuming and more fun. I just wanted to tell you about Five Tools I’ve found that I think are awesome.
1. WordPress for iPhone Application
I’ve seen some sad excuses for iPhone Apps when it comes to trying to find anything that will actually help you be productive away from your PC or laptop, but this tool looks like it’s going to be a winner. It allows you to add multiple blogs, see as many of your recent posts as you want, edit local drafts and post right from your iPhone. I’m so excited about finding this app.
2. Blog Carnival Submitter
I just found out about blog carnivals and then I found out about this tool that’s only $27 and lets you post your blog to as many blog carnivals as you can find for your industry. This is a new product, but so far it looks promising. Check it out:

3. Setup your own facebook blog application with Blogfuse.com
This site is a tool for creating your own facebook application for your blog. It’s an interesting way to potentially get your blog out in front of 60 million people. Of course, you first have to get nine of your friends (you make ten) to install the application on their facebook, so you can submit it to the Facebook Application Directory. You can also promote your application with an ad on facebook.
4. Ping.fm
I use this site to update all of my social networks at once. I’ve actually signed up for more social networks because I handle them all through this easy to use website.
5. Firefox Shareaholic Add-on
This Firefox Add-on makes it really easy to share anything you find on the internet. The best part is it takes up very little space in your existing address bar rather than adding yet another toolbar to the top of your browser window. Download the shareaholic firefox add-on now.
