My Top 5 Social Media Tools

Damn, snagged in another meme. How can I get any work done? I'll get you for this, Stuart Bruce. ;)

My top 5 Social Media tools these days...

• del.icio.us - one way for PR pros to become more valuable to the media: do the research for them.
• Qumana - a decent blog editor. Pretty much any blog editor rocks after 2 years dealing with Blogger.
• Blogger Web Comments & Technorati This (tie) - I use these all the time to see what's been said about whatever page I am visiting. Interestingly, each seems to pick up different posts from across the blogosphere, so this is a true tie: I need both and use them equally. (Which kinda sucks, by the way.)
• NewsGator for Outlook - Am I "Old School" because I still like my good ol' corporate email? Downside: glitchy. Crashes Outlook quite often.
• toread - If you did not answer "yes" to the "Old School" question above, then you will now: this tool automatically sends the page you're visiting to your email account, so you can read it later. Hat-tip to Rubel for this one.

Most looking forward to checking out: FeedYes. Apparently it allows you to set up an RSS feed for any webpage, so you're alerted whenever it changes. (Then again, I already have too many RSS feeds!)
