In a meeting a few days ago, I was talking about facebook’s implementation of the timeline format for brand pages. A colleague asked if I could direct her to a few resources where she could stay up-to-date with the ever-evolving trends in social media and strategic marketing. I thought I’d just go ahead and blog it since I’ve gotten the question before.
I’ve already explained how to import and manage RSS feeds, so I’ll just direct you to the resources. These are 20 feeds that play big parts in my PR, SEO, and Tech lists. How useful you’ll find them depends on what you’re looking to know. (links open in new windows)
- Ars Technica
- Bad Pitch Blog
- Copyblogger
- Gizmodo
- Lifehacker
- Mashable Social Media
- PR-Squared
- PRSA Tactics
- Public Relations News
- ReadWriteWeb
- Search Engine Land
- Search Engine Roundtable
- SEOmoz
- Seth Godin’s Blog
- Social Media Examiner
- Social Media Explorer
- Techcrunch
- The Flack
- The Social Media Marketing Blog
- Wired
You’d be surprised how much you can learn about what’s happening in the tech marketing world just by browsing the titles of these feed items while waiting in line at the grocery store. If you want to look around for other feeds on this or other topics, you could a lot worse than browsing through AllTop.com to see what’s already popular. AdAge has a list too.
Do you have some go-to resources that you think I should add to my feedreader? Let me know in the comments.
