Finding and Managing Sites



Buzzstream, which is works well for large teams that want a more spreadsheet-like experience


Google blog search is the easiest way to find blogs and bloggers


Add sites to Link Manager using Chrome Toolbar -- also leave notes to share with team or remind myself

Link Prospector -- exports to via API to Raven

Finding and Managing Contacts



http://raventools.com Use Find Contacts feature and create contact associated with link record


http://www.fullcontact.com/ Use FullContact to get additional info once you know their email or social handle


Use Google Ripples to find connected contacts/networks


Create lists in Twitter to help you better target people

Create non-crappy message templates and keep track of messages -- Raven does this and buzzstream does too, but Toutapp is AMAZING at this.
