If you’re like us, you hear about the latest and greatest Social Media tools every day - only to be disappointed.
We’ll we’ve found a few that we feel are actually useful. We found these three tools on Rhea Drysdale’s Refresh Jacksonville Social Media Presentation. Rhea has a fairly new blog out of Jacksonville, FL, but we like what we see so far…
In her presentation, she listed several Social Media Tips and Tools.
Here are three tools that we really liked and have add to our list of useful Social Media tools.
Web2Subbmitter
This is the only tool in the list that isn’t completely free, but it’s still a must have tool for us. The sales letter sucks in my opinion, but Brandon Hall has been awesome to work with. They handled the Netscape to Propeller change within a few days.
If you submit to more than one Social Media website, you need this tool.
This tool allows you to enter your URL, Title, Desription, and Tags one time and then submit to the major Social Media Sites with a few mouse clicks. Think about it, if you submit a story (we submit at least 10 per day) to the top 5-7 Social Media Sites - how many times do you have to copy paste?
This tool saves us so much time every day!
Social Media For Firefox Extension
The tool is the the ultimate time saver to building powerful social media accounts. One of the secrets of top Diggers, Stumblers, Navigators etc… is being the first to submit stories already becoming popular on other social news sites. For example you can browse Reddit to find good stories already submitted and be the first to submit them to Digg. You can browse Digg and be the first to Stumble pages that are becoming popular there. Most if not all articles on the front page of Digg are submitted to StumbleUpon and will get a lot of Thumbs up. If you were the first to Stumble that when the page reaches the Popular page for its tags and category on Stumble your account will be the one listed next to it, which will give you more friends and fans and so on.
This is a great tool! In additional to the above stuff, it also makes it easier to support your friends who may not have links or buttons on their blog posts. This tool will tell you if it’s been submitted on Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, and Delicious at a glance. It will also let you submit a link with the click of a button.
Digg Alerter
This is a great little tool that allows you to track the status of you recently submitted stories without having to log in to Digg. It show a list of your latest 1- 100 submissions with the number of votes and comments. The tools automatically updates the numbers for you at the interval you set. We have ours set to every 10 minutes. It even tells you when your story is made popular.
Digg Entourage
Ever wonder who’s got your back on Digg? The Digg Entourage tool checks the last 25 stories you submitted, figures out who dugg the most of them, and prints out your Digg Entourage along with tons of data on who your friends really are (or who should be)!
This is an interesting little tool that tells you who votes on your stories and how many times they’ve voted on your stories. The best thing about this little tool is that we found several people who support us that were not currently on our friend’s list. We never would have know about these people without this tool.

Thanks for checking out the presentation. Just wanted to mention that credit for originally blogging about those tools goes to Tamar at http://www.techipedia.com and Cameron Olthuis though.
I agree. The key to social bookmarking is how fast you can get it done. Whether it is just being the first to let everyone else know, or getting your information out there as fast as possible, you need good tools. You have outlined some good ones.
