I used to teach courses at New York University focused on advanced social and digital practices, and in every class we would do a quick review on the world of online media. Here are my five favorite blogs and websites where I feel like you receive the most bang for your time.<\/p>\n

Consider These Social Media Blogs:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Social Media Examiner<\/a><\/h3>\n

What I Love: This blog is a treasure of great info, tips, and tools for everything related to social media.

I am never disappointed when I go to this blog. It\u2019s thought-provoking articles, chalked with fresh ideas, always leave me coming away with something new.<\/p>\n

Talent Imitates, Genius Steals<\/a><\/h3>\n

What I Love: This is a great blog by Faris Yakob<\/a>. It\u2019s not about social media per se, but a really great blog on everything related to brands and media–and how they interact. He is a great writer with fresh perspectives and his posts provoke audiences to think differently about topics discussed.<\/p>\n

Duct Tape Marketing
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

What I Love: John Jantsch<\/a> is a veteran when it comes to the world of social media. His blog is filled with good info, and you won\u2019t be disappointed on any visit! He offers an interesting twist on traditional social media perspectives and his posts are applicable to a broad range of readers and industries.<\/p>\n

Mashable<\/a><\/h3>\n

What I Love: Mashable<\/a> has been popular for a number of years and is always a top choice. The site always seems to be the first source to break news about the next big thing encompassing social media. Their engagement with digital innovation provides the ability to broadcast content to millions around the world.<\/p>\n

Marketing Profs<\/a><\/h3>\n

What I Love: I like this website\u2019s \u201creal world\u201d approach to everything marketing and social media. They have great online and offline events, and they provide excellent training for you and for your team.<\/p>\n

Never before has it been as important to provide employees an optimal digital work environment. And never before has it been so confusing to do so. As a Chief Human Resource Officer you want to provide inviting, efficient and fulfilling employee experiences. As a Chief Technology Officer you want technology that is extensible and provides flexibility for business changes. As a Chief Communication Officer you need channels that break through digital noise and enable effective and efficient bi-directional communication with employees. As Chief Financial Officer you want a comprehensive solution and commercial model that comes at a low financial impact and ultimately pays for itself. And as employees we want to be able to do our jobs in a frictionless, effective manner with tools that have the same style and ease of use that we have become accustomed to in our personal lives. The good news is that enterprise technologies, social constructs and many work cultures have evolved to the point where all of this is possible. The challenge is evaluating the seemingly endless technology and process options to make this a reality for any one company. This blog is my attempt to share what I have learned working with Global 2000 companies over the last 26 years to solve various instantiations of these same challenges. I do not have all of the answers, and I fully suspect that through the process of researching, talking to others and writing, I will likely learn as much as anyone who reads these posts. At the very least, by the time I retire, maybe I will have documented enough knowledge and insight to have helped someone, somewhere.\",\"sameAs\":[\"andyjankowski\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/AndyJankowski\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/author\/admin\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Bookmark These 5 Social Media Blogs - Enterprise Strategies","description":"Here are my five favorite social media blogs and websites where I feel like you receive the most bang for your time.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Bookmark These 5 Social Media Blogs","og_description":"Here are my five favorite social media blogs and websites where I feel like you receive the most bang for your time.","og_url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/","og_site_name":"Enterprise Strategies","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EnterpriseStrategies","article_published_time":"2013-10-31T15:23:57+00:00","article_modified_time":"2015-07-27T21:20:00+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1280,"height":960,"url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/labels-1-1189686-1280x960.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Andy Jankowski","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@AndyJankowski","twitter_site":"@workingevolved","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Andy Jankowski","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/","url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/","name":"Bookmark These 5 Social Media Blogs - Enterprise Strategies","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/labels-1-1189686-1280x960.jpg","datePublished":"2013-10-31T15:23:57+00:00","dateModified":"2015-07-27T21:20:00+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#\/schema\/person\/5cc50b0a461fb29e9839942d29fc0268"},"description":"Here are my five favorite social media blogs and websites where I feel like you receive the most bang for your time.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/labels-1-1189686-1280x960.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/labels-1-1189686-1280x960.jpg","width":1280,"height":960},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2013\/10\/31\/bookmark-these-5-social-media-blogs\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Bookmark These 5 Social Media Blogs"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/","name":"Enterprise Strategies","description":"Delivering the Future of Work","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#\/schema\/person\/5cc50b0a461fb29e9839942d29fc0268","name":"Andy Jankowski","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/978ad146c4e273d94fd290e33faf0c95?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/978ad146c4e273d94fd290e33faf0c95?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Andy Jankowski"},"description":"Why read this blog?
