In my drive to learn and take in as much information as possible about social media and PR, here are some of the bloggers that I've been/started following to help make sense of this crazy world of social media.
Communication Conversations - The blog's creator Arik has interesting and informative posts and if you read his bio, he was named one of the top 50 PR people to follow (interesting list if you're looking to follow more PR professionals on Twitter!).
Dave Jones - Our classmate Pilar introduced me to Dave Jones' blog. Dave actually came into one of my classes at Ryerson to speak and I found him fascinating, so I'm glad to have found and started reading his blog. Thank you, Pilar.
Forbes Social Media - There are a lot of tips on this blog and a lot of current and up to date information. The focus is more on social media, but greatly helps my education in the social media.
Jeff Bullas - If you're new to Twitter, this blog provides a great run down of how to get started and how you can use it. He also has a lot of thought provoking posts, which I enjoy!
Mashable - I'v followed this website for a long time now and find it an incredibly valuable resource. This blog basically taught me how to use Twitter. I also like how they have the "Trending Stories" right at the top, so I know if I only have a bit of time to catch up on the new, everything I need to know is there.
New York Times - This section of the New York Tims ha an area called the "App Index", which allows me to easily locate all of the articles on mobile apps that are focus on communication and social media. I have found this to be very useful to keep informed on what's new and coming.
PR Daily - I have been reading this website for about a year now and I also subscribe to their daily emails. They have some really insightful information about public relations in general and a lot of information on social media and writing.
Social Media Examiner - This is a new website I just started following and they have a lot of great information, but what I like most are the case studies they have here, which shows real business examples of social PR campaigns.
Social Media Explorer - I've really enjoyed exploring this website. Their articles are easy to find and broken down by specific categories. They also have section on marketing/digital marketing, which I find really interesting too. What helped most was their start guide, to help me find articles that were useful for me.
Veritas Communications Touchdowns & Fumbles - This blog can be pretty funny sometimes, but I also really like the case study component, showing what works and doesn't work for certain companies and campaigns.
Have I missed any of the major websites? I would love to hear feedback if I have!
