Feeds appear in a magazine-like view that is much easier on the eyes and sorting through new items is simple and intuitive. Feedly doesn't stop there, however. It also allows blogs posts and articles appearing in your feed to be shared quickly and easily. Choose the appropriate button in the tool bar appearing at the top of each item in your feed and, with the click of a button, you can share content on Twitter or Facebook. Feedly automatically creates the bodyof the post and shortens the link for you. E-mail the content to a client or colleague to whom it might be of interest, add it to your delicious bookmarks or clip it to Evernote. Feedly also has a new experiment called Karma, which allows tracking of the links you've shared on Twitter. You can see which links are most popular, how many times people have re-tweeted your links and how many times people clicked through to the content. Finally, Feedly allows content to be shared quickly via e-mail or Twitter as pages are viewed on the Web via a mini-tool bar appearing at the very bottom left corner of each Web page.Another favorite tool is Shareaholic (www.shareaholic.com), also a Firefox browser toolbar add-on. Like Feedly, Shareaholic automaticallygenerates the body of each post and shortens links, allowing you to quickly share content on different Web platforms. One of the benefitsof Shareaholic is the breadth of networking sites it supports, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Friendfeed, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Evernote, delicious, Diigo and Twine. Should you decide to test the waters and begin interacting on Twitter, a number of platforms andtools are available to make your Twitter experience far more pleasant. Three very popular desktop Twitter platforms are Tweetdeck (www.tweetdeck.com), Seesmic (www.seesmic.com) and Tweetie (www.ate bits.com/tweetie-mac). The platforms offer different features that simplify your Twitter user experience. Tweetree (www.tweet ree.com) and Tweetvisor (www.tweet visor.com) are two online Web interfaces that accomplish the same goal. Another really useful Firefox add-on is Mr. Tweet (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12647), which once installed automatically provides useful information about your followers on Twitter, in turn allowing you to efficiently sort through and maintain your relationships there. Microsoft Outlook users should be aware of Twinbox (www.techhit.com/TwInbox/ twitter_plugin_outlook.html), an add-in that seamlessly integrates Twitter and Outlook, making iteasy for you to manage a Twitter account directly from Outlook. Twitter applications can be used on your smart phone to keep up with the conversation stream. Popular iPhone Twitter applications include Tweetie (www.tweetie.com), Tweetdeck (www.tweetdeck.com) and Twitterific (www.twitterific.com). Arguably, the most popular BlackBerry application is Twitterberry (www.twitter berry.com). Other Black-Berry applications to consider are Twibble (www.twibble.com) and Tiny Tweeter (www.tinytweeter.com). If the Palm Pre is your smart phone of choice, Tweed (http://tweed.pivotallabs.com/) is a good Twitter application to consider. Finally, Social Mention (www.socialmen-tion.com) is a great, free resource that allows real-time searches of online social networking sites for mentions of you, your business, your competitors, keywords relevant to an area of practice or other topics. Search results can be filtered to locate mentions from certain types of sites, such as Twitter, blogs, or video sites such as YouTube. Search results also provide interesting data about the results, including whether thesentiment expressed is positive or negative. Online networking does not need to be an overwhelming experience. With the proper tools, online interactions can be made more efficient, and more streamlined than you ever dreamed possible. Put these tools to use and make online networking work for your law practice.
