Social Media Blogs and Resources
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I had a very interesting day today. I sat in on an SEO/blogging/social media webinar put on by HubSpot. At first it was slow and just a refresher of stuff I practice every day. But in the end I did take away new nugget. Mike Volpe said, if you answer a question in an email, perhaps the answer could become a blog post.
Then later this afternoon, one of my new followers on Twitter @natalie_brown asked me if I could recommend any good books on Social Media. I told her I couldn’t, but I did offer to share my links with her. So I wrote Natalie an email and it struck me that it would make for an excellent blog post.
From my bookmark folder I’d like to share these resource sites with you:

Some samples of social media in action in Canada

Here are my social media links from my Google Reader. A lot of these blogs are Canadian, but what can I say, I’m biased! I read these on a fairly regular basis, providing they have something I want to read of course. I highly recommend every one of these blogs as a place to learn more about social media.
But don’t just read their blogs, find these people on Twitter and follow them, read their conversations and jump in with both feet and talk to them, so far no one has bitten me!
