If I had a quarter every time someone asked me “How do you get any work done when you’re on Twitter all day?” I’d probably be able to buy myself a few soda’s a week. Anyway, it happens enough I thought I’d try to answer that question.
The problem is that a blog post only does so much to explain how this works. Video in this case would work much better. I use Jing, which is a great screen-grab/screen-cast app. I use it a ton for pics but have never used it for video, until now.
This is completely unscripted and I did this in one take with no editing so I apologize for all the um’s and pauses. The good news is that it’s only 5 minutes long so you don’t have to suffer that long.
This time I chose to demo Diigo, which is a social bookmarking app I have written about before many times. I use it to bookmark one of my favorite blogs TechWag in which they talk about an online bookstore they run called Alternating Reality and how they use social media to grow their business.
I hope you find the video helpful. If you have any suggestions or requested apps I should demo leave me a comment.
This video also marks the addition of a new category: Work Flow. I’ll use this tag whenever I talk about the tools I use to create my work flow.
