Tips, insights, and occasional rants on the modern digital landscape and its impact on government communications, marketing, service delivery, and citizen engagement.
Well, so far I’m 4 for 4 in terms of my objective of producing one “Learn in 60 Seconds” video every week for the next two months.

During one of my last presentations, I noticed some of my participants frantically scribbling notes whenever I would open up my “Twitter Tools” bookmark folder in my browser as if they were some secret collection. These are all in fact, free public tools that I have simply bookmarked over time.
To prevent this scribbling from happening in the future, I figured I should share my list. It’s really nothing more than various Twitter database leveraging tools and applications, each with specific purposes. Some are great, others, not so much. At the end of the day, it depends on what it is that you are trying to do. I also have most of these on my public Twitter links page via Delicious, for those of you not into static lists.
