Social bookmarking tips for PR
I've been using del.icio.us for quite a while now and have found it to be way more than bookmark voyeurism. Here are some useful tips that are good for folks in PR agencies like me:
- Create an ad hoc, organic directory of blogs. I tag Singapore blogs I find "sgblog" in hopes of building my little own localsphere.
- Tag press releases you place on PR wires by clients so you have an easy access list of'em all.
- Capture and tag online clippings for clients. Beat that Excel spreadsheet! (Kudos to John Kerr, Edelman for this one)
- Tag your client's competition and measure share of voice against the above tip. The tag cloud is an easy way to see who's in the lead.
- Bookmark items you find for your colleagues and friends. Way easier than sending the link by email.
- Great reference for industry intelligence and research. Especially when the browser history forgets the link.
- Subscribe to http://del.icio.us/tag/pr.
