Debbie loves Filtrbox – It’s a online tracking program that allows me to monitor key words on mainstream news outlets, blogs, and social media. Filtrbox also allows me to import my Google Alerts to I can consolidate my monitoring results in one dashboard. Great way to monitor what others are saying about your brand and your clients online. Go to www.filtrbox.com.
Jennifer loves Smittenkitchen.com – If you enjoy cooking or baking, you have got to check out Smittenkitchen.com. Amazing photography just makes the new recipes that much more fun to explore. Plus, if you’re like me, it helps to have a photo of what a recipe should look like when it’s done. Afterwards, if you’d like to share your likes or dislikes, you can post a blog on the website to share with others. I’m going to subscribe to begin receiving Smitten Kitchen posts via email, and plan to try the Zucchini Strand Spaghetti this weekend!
Nathan loves Seesmic Desktop – While TweetDeck for the iPhone is by far the best app available for twittering on the iPhone, for me, Seesmic Desktop is my preferred program to run Twitter while at my computer. It loads faster, gives you more control, and has much better Facebook integration, too. Not to mention its handling of “Columns” (what Seesmic Desktop calls Userlists) is much more efficient and user friendly. Seesmic Desktop also gives you more control over the settings of your software (like if you want to do custom stat tracking with bit.ly) than TweetDeck. If you’re a heavy twitter user and you haven’t tried out Seesmic Desktop, I very much suggest doing so.
Shawn loves interesting factoids – The great thing about these little bits of information is that they tend to just fall in your lap when you are least expecting them. This morning a headline caught my eye and come to find out cats are left or right pawed. This is not earth-shattering information but I found it to be fascinating. Males for the most part are lefties and females are righties.
Susan loves brandsoftheworld.com – This designer-friendly website is dedicated to providing high-quality, vector images of the world’s biggest (and smallest) logos. Companies can upload their logos (or their agencies can do it for them) to give media, designers, etc. easy access to high-quality logos. So instead of bugging the company for a logo, or heaven forbid, saving a poor version from the web, people can go to brandsoftheworld.com and download what they need for marketing materials and the like. It’s also a great place to browse when you’re brainstorming ideas for new logos!
