The Social Media Ecology is the most expansive environment on the web. There are hundreds of social networks, millions of blogs, billions of media elements in the form of photos, video, documents and audio. Oh, and let’s not forget that there are hundreds of millions of people that use various tools everyday to create, disseminate and consume social media.
We use lots of tools for our client work, personal explorations and day to day functioning as digital strategists. The graphic below is quick look at some of the tools we use to do what we do. Are there tools not on here that you use to create, distribute and consume social media? Please leave a comment!
