More to follow in part three
3. Right Relevance – content suggestions
Right Relevance is a service that
provides content around specific
topics of interest and sends it through
on a daily email.
It comes in handy to find at least a few
gems a day if you need to curate
content to share on social channels.
An honourable mention would go to
the content suggestion function on
Klout.
Klout promotes itself as a
measurement tool – it’s a shockingly
poor one that provides misguided
vanity data. The content suggestions
are not bad though.
4. Newsblur – intelligent RSS reader
Newsblur is a trainable RSS reader
that learns from your likes and
dislikes to only show you content of
interest. Hidden content can till be
bought back for review at the click
of a button.
In addition to being able to filter by
interest, it also provides three
views: feed, text or story (what it
looks like on it’s original site).
The service costs $24/year. It has a
web interface, supports third party
desktop software and has apps for
iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
5. Buffer – social publishing
Buffer is a social publishing tool
similar to Hootsuite. It has a number
of advantages over Hootsuite;
especially ease of use and pricing
simplicity.
Buffer has an equally simple-to-use
iOS and Android app. It integrates
into iOS system sharing and IFTTT
recipes. It is the end point of
automated plumbing for my social
content publishing.
I use ‘The Awesome Plan’ which
costs $102/year.
6. Weiyun
Weiyun is a Dropbox-type
service provided by Chinese
online services company
Tencent. The key difference
between it and Dropbox is
that Weiyun gives you 1TB
of storage for free.
The downside of Weiyun is
that all its software is in
Chinese, but there is advice
on how to use it online.
