In case you are anything like me, it can be very hard to stay productive when all the Social Media buzz increases.
Here are a few tools which help me greatly to focus on my work and optimize the use of all available Social Media channels that I am using.
1.) MindMeister - Put your thoughts on online paper
Meindmeister is a great mindmapping tool, that allows you draw nodes with your thoughts and connect them as they are interlinked with each other. The App boasts a ton of features to support the full creativity of your ideas to be jotted down. This includes a lot of possibilities to format nodes as well as the chance to export your maps and use them on presentations or otherwise.
Best bit: The best feature I found is MindMeister's collaboration tool, which allows you to co-edit maps and bring the creativity of multiple minds together.
2.) Refynr - Only your best tweets to read
In case you can't spend the time to scan Twitter for great content all day Refynr might be the perfect solution for you. Create a social savvy filter of keywords you want to have included such as "Social Media", "Twitter" and "startups" in my case. It now creates a "refyned" news stream for you with only the most relevant tweets.
Best bit: Recently the App integrated with Twitter publishing tool Buffer. This means that besides receiving clutterfree news, you can send them out to Twitter without flooding your followers too.
3.) Triberr - Power up your tweets with your own Tribe
In case you are very determined to get your blog off the ground and want to optimize the reach you are having Triberr might be the right tool for you. It is an exclusively invite-only community of bloggers. They can group in tribes with other bloggers and will be automatically retweeting each other's posts so your reach is amplified by large.
Best bit: The App recently added a fantastic analytics tool so you can track how often your tweets are being clicked on. It's a great measurement to test headline writing.
4.) MarketMeSuite - Your powerful Social Media marketing suite
At first sight MarketMeSuite might appear to be another Twitter client. Yet, after taking a closer look you will see that it is much more than that. It boasts a fantastic list of features making all your happenings on both Facebook and Twitter super easy to handle. In addition it gives you a whole section to set up marketing campaigns right inside the Suite. They include RSS feed management, reply campaigns, keyword tracking and more.
Best bit: Recently MarketMeSuite integrated with Klout to know even more about the Twitter users you are conversing with.
5.) Tungle - Set up your meetings without hassles
As the last tool to introduce I want to highlight Tungle. There is nothing more painful than sending multiple emails back and forth to set up a meeting or skype call. Enter Tungle to take away all the work from you. You simply set up your personal calendar and send it out via your personal tungle.me page. This means others can easily find the free spots in your calendar and set themselves up. No troubles for you.
Best bit: Tungle lets you embed a Tungle box seamlessly on your website too, so others can set up their meetings even faster.
These are 5 of my favourite productivity Apps, which save me a ton of time each day. Do you think they can be helpful for you too? I would love your thoughts on them below.
