Author overwhelm is a given in social media land. Here are three tools that you can use to expand what you do without sucking out a lot of your time. Let the “bots” do the work for you!
Tagboard 
Hashtags are essential to increase your influence factor. Meet Tagboard. It uses hashtags to find and collect social media posts that you are interested in via the use of a particular hashtag. Within Tagboard, tools are available that will allow you to choose which of the collected posts you want to feature within your social media streams. Request the demo at www.Tagboard.com
If you are using Tweeter and building followers, it can be a challenge to keep track of what you have tweeted plus who is tweeting what in your streams. Meet Click to Tweet. It is a free tool (and a fee for the active user if you want to track more than 5 links at any one time) that allows you to promote, track, and share the content you post on Twitter. Create a message, click the “Generate New Link” tab, and start sharing. If you are pitching a book, event or activity via Twitter, this is a one of its kind tool to determine which link works, and works best. This tool is the first of its kind and a must-have for companies on Twitter.
