For my team teaching presentation in #NewhouseSM4, my group members and I presented on social media within the higher education industry (#SMHE). We covered topics such as success stories with social media and the lessons we learned from the experts. To complete this project, we made a powerpoint presentation through slideshare, utilized google docs, participated in a google hangout, exchanged...

For a class assignment I had to try out Pearltrees. After watching a video about it in class, it seemed simple to use, or rather the concept of it seemed simple. But, now that I’m in the process of creating pearls and connecting with other class members, it’s suddenly not so easy.
I’m a bit confused on what to do. I can’t pinpoint a specific thing I’m confused on because once I do figure...

Monitter(ing) Twitter
After trying out five other social media dashboards, I think Monitter is one of my favs. It’s really simple to use and it’s appealing to look at. It also reminds me of TweetChat, although in this case you are just monitoring a specific hashtag and not necessarily tweeting along. But if you would like to tweet while watching a convo unfold, Monitter lets you do that too.
The fact that...

Tweet gRID
Social media dashboards. What can I say about them? How about that they should be fun to explore, simple to use, and most of all better than the individual sites that compose them. Well sometimes these dashboards fail and should really try again.
This is how I feel about TweetGrid. After choosing the 1x(insert number here) layout, a pale, tan-peachy color surrounds each tweet and boarders the...

Social Oops
I’m just going to start off by saying I do not like SocialOomph. I think there is too much going on when I go to the homepage and it’s not as user friendly as other social media dashboards such as TweetDeck. There are far too many links to click on in the right hand tool bar and the layout isn’t exactly inviting. I’m not trying to completely bash SocialOomph as it does have...

I see Seesmic
I just downloaded the social media dashboard Seesmic. I originally had it launched in the web but once I went to the site to log in, I thought, “Why not download the desktop version and give it a shot?” So I did. I went through the short tutorial when I started up the app to get a feel for what Seesmic could do. I linked to my Twitter account and began to click on the different...

Deck the halls with boughs of holly...tweet tweet...
TweetDeck is the first social media dashboard I ever used. I went to the website, installed it on my mac, and quickly found the dashboard in my applications. When I double clicked the yellow square with the black bird icon I thought, “Whoa, this is cool.” I had just gotten familiar with Twitter when suddenly I was learning all about the other side of the tweeting phenomenon; the...

Hoot let the dogs out
I’ve heard many classmates and professors mention HootSuite and up until a couple of days ago I had no idea what it was. Was it an app? A program? A website? A game? Well all it took was for me to read Prof. Ward’s weekly to do list to discover that it was social media dashboard.
After setting up my account and linking to my Twitter feed, three columns popped up:
1) Home Feed
2)...
