Robin Good: Present.Me is a web app which allows you to easily combine your presentation with your own talking head video, in perfect sync.
First you upload your image slides or presentation file (PowerPoint, PDF, Excel, Word, OpenOffice or Google Docs) and then you can record your video from your webcam while playing back the slides at your own preferred pace. You can also pause and restart any time.
Present.me now features a "trim" function allowing you to cut out mistakes and errors you have made and allows to create also presentations with your audio only (no video).
The final presentation can be shared online on all major social networks or embedded in any site or blog.
There is both a free plan, allowing for up to 3 presentations of 15 mins, as well as paid plans costing $9 (30 presentations of 60 mins and no ads) and $39/month (unlimited).

4 new social media productivity tools reviewed and analyzed. Each can save you considerably time and hassle when you're producing or curating content.
Zeeik has created a new way to reuse online videos to make and share video-only-consisted information, video Wikipedia; after disassembling videos by scenes or targeted parts, users can reassemble them to create a meaningful video group, a zeeik.
On Zeeik.com, collected YouTube videos are packed and maintained in a video collection called a “zeeik.”
Users are encouraged to collaborate on zeeiks and can partake in any or all of the following steps: request a zeeik, contribute and review videos in the zeeik, or edit and publish the zeeik. Users can also share their zeeiks with friends, making Zeeik.com a social website.
Presently, only YouTube videos are available to include in a zeeik, but that won’t always be the case.

Track Your Own Personal Twitter Trending TopicsPCWorld (blog)By Tony Bradley, PCWorld Twitter monitors the millions and billions of 140-character bits of wisdom that travel the Twitterverse and lists out the top 10 hottest trends.
I rescooped this piece from my topic "Mobile Marketing Strategy and Beyond" because I think it has important information we all need to be aware of and hopefully will get you thinking about how you are going to repurpose your content strategy for the mobile audience.
This piece was written by Shelly Kramer along with an infographic that shows you the activity on the web coming from mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, iPads and the like. As we all know the pace is excelerating and as the author says, it's very exciting. Beyond the exhileration, I selected this article because the information and questions she asks you are timely and relevant.
"Mobile devices and constant connectivity are drastically impacting marketing and business strategy.
**Want to know what happens on the Internet in one minute?"
**30 hours of video uploaded and **1.3 million video clips watched on YouTube **639,800 GB of global IP data transferred **204 million emails sent **Amazon rings up 83,000 in sales (yes, in one minute)
Here are some important questions for you:
**Are you taking a good look at your business website and your analytics, which are your roadmap to what your customers are doing?
**Are you paying attention to how much traffic to your site is coming from mobile devices (and which kind)
**are you watching those numbers grow on a month-to-month basis?
**What are you doing to adapt to the mobile consumption of data and information and how are you marketing to people using mobile devices?
**How are you delivering information to them and interacting with them?
**How are you making their lives less complicated?
**How are you making it easy for them to do business with you?
**If these aren’t things you’re already thinking about and working on–you’d best get going.

We all want to be happy, right?
And as emotion has become more explicit in our online behavior, more companies are catching on. They realize that we are no longer simply engaging inactions; we “like.”
And while some of them accidentally created models that capture this emotion, few of them have learned how to sustain it. Via gdecugis

Robin Good: Grockit Answers is a web app that allows anyone to build a Q&A or discussion board around a specific video. Multiple questions can be asked and each one of them can be connected to a specific point in the video.
Great to introduce new video-based content and engage your fans on it.
"In Grockit Answers, interactions happen around video lectures, and participants ask and answer questions about specific points in the lecture.
Since every question is attached to a specific point in time in the video, Grockit Answers displays a question and its answers at the point in the lecture that they are most relevant.
And since the things that confuse you are likely to be the same things that confuse others, you'll find that answers to your own questions pop up on the screen just as you're starting to get confused."
Free to use.

As of a few days ago, we have therefore added a brand new Chrome extension that will give you a great new experience right on Twitter.com. With the Buffer button inside Twitter, you can add retweets to your queue, post to multiple profiles and lots more. Here are the top 4 features for you to turn Twitter.com into your most amazing Social Media tool with Buffer:
This is a question that each person active on social media should ask himself a day or another. Have you ever thought? [note mg]
How many hours have you spent adding buttons, gadgets and widgets to your new blog or website? You research the right tools, share buttons, share bars, analytic tracking tools and more. You install them with a hope and a prayer that someone somewhere is going to use them.
However, unfortunately many business leaders find they don’t get used. The share buttons sit on their site with the lonely zero or default +1. Chances are your pocket book or wallet might be feeling a little lonely too.
What if you took the same time you spend on the share bars, share buttons and tools and instead first focus on something worthy of a share? I know it sounds like a crazy concept because after all it’s far easier to focus on the bright shiny objects, geeky tools and data analytics.
Trust me, I am a data junkie and could literally spend all day helping my clients dig into the heads of their target audiences with a goal of embedding their brand in their brains!
Is your content worthy of a share?
