More to follow in part three

Right Relevance – content suggestions Right Relevance is a service that

provides content around specific topics of interest and sends it through on a daily email.

It comes in handy to find at least a few gems a day if you need to curate content to share on social channels.

An honourable mention would go to the content suggestion function on Klout.

Klout promotes itself as a measurement tool – it’s a shockingly poor one that provides misguided vanity data. The content suggestions are not bad though.

Newsblur – intelligent RSS readerNewsblur is a trainable RSS reader that learns from your likes and dislikes to only show you content of interest. Hidden content can till be bought back for review at the click of a button.

In addition to being able to filter by interest, it also provides three views: feed, text or story (what it looks like on it’s original site).

The service costs $24/year. It has a web interface, supports third party desktop software and has apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

Buffer – social publishingBuffer is a social publishing tool similar to Hootsuite. It has a number of advantages over Hootsuite; especially ease of use and pricing simplicity.

Buffer has an equally simple-to-use iOS and Android app. It integrates into iOS system sharing and IFTTT recipes. It is the end point of automated plumbing for my social content publishing.

I use ‘The Awesome Plan’ which costs $102/year.

WeiyunWeiyun is a Dropbox-type service provided by Chinese online services company Tencent. The key difference between it and Dropbox is that Weiyun gives you 1TB of storage for free.

The downside of Weiyun is that all its software is in Chinese, but there is advice on how to use it online.
