7 Newsletters To Help You Stay On Top of Social Media

Posted on 14. Dec, 2009 by Ribeezie in Social Media

I subscribe to well over 300 blogs using Google Reader. I don’t read them all obviously. That’d be a heck of a lot of reading; though I do like to read… Instead I prioritize my content. In other words, I have folders to categorize my blog feeds and there are certain ones that I visit daily. See:

In addition to blogs and books, one thing that serves as an excellent resource to me day in and day out, are the various newsletters I’m subscribed to from prominent names in social media. I’ve included a list of them here along with a description of who they are and with links to their subscription page. I hope that you find them as resourceful as I do!
