One of my many job titles where I work is Social Media Director. I’ve been maintaining all of the social networks for our many company websites. 12 sites with at the least 3 social networking accounts attached. You do the math. Over the past couple years I’ve picked up on some really great tips and tricks from across the web. The list below is not only filled with useful plug-ins and software downloads, but also many great social networking communities and top gurus in the field.
