COOL TOOLS: 10 Favorite Social Media Tools for Marcom Pros
Included in the June 2012 BIZ Builder Magazine Issue - Click to Read Online
We all love our online gadgets and tools. Some help us breeze through the day. Some help us look like social media superstars. Some are just plain fun. Practical or not, tools help.
We scoured the Web and asked our friends and colleagues about their favorite social media tools—especially those that help marketing and communication professionals. We took the work we know you need to do and looked for ways to make that easier. We added in some sassy alternatives, focusing on affordability and usability. And finally, we looked at a few of these online resources through the lens of our very own Sysomos MAP listening tool to monitor some of the online buzz about them. We think work should be efficient AND fun—and these tools will certainly do the trick.

Really love the features and user interface of that sprout social, I have played around with it in a demo version but have yet to purchase it. Unfortunately we are still using HootSuite at my place of business, but that’s all that is in the budget im told. Great post and very informative.
Thanks, Andre – I have enjoyed using Sprout Social and I am happy you enjoyed the piece.

Great content! I luv it when I read about products or content that are new to me. I have used Slide Rocket and liked it, but would also recommend Prezi — Great design capabilities and it all lives online or in your cloud. I’ve been playing with Pinterest for three months and am still wondering what the true commericail value would be without killing the very spontananeous vibe of saving and sharing cool ideas.
Yes we LOVE Prezi also. We used Prezi for the first time with Critical Mention. Let me know what you think of our design.

In addition to everything you mentioned, I also wanted to mention that we now have Sprout Social apps for both iPhone and Android devices.
