How to keep up to date on Social Media
That’s often an understatement. So how do you keep up to date on what’s happening in Social media then?
This is a list of where you should look for the news on the topic.
The official blogs and newsrooms:
Make sure you frequently pay a visit to the official blogs and pressrooms from the social media companies you use as a private person or at work.
Note that blogs often have a easier tone of voice then the newsrooms.

Newsletters:
Lucky for you there is companies that spend their time writing articles and sending you summaries as weekly newsletters. Newsletters is great since you often can ask to receive them daily, weekly or monthly to make sure you get the amount of information you can handle.
Doing this means you get the latest news sent to you and don’t have to search for it on a daily basics. This also means that you save time. A lot of time.

Grab a cup of coffee!
Join seminars, conferences and meetups in your town. This is a great way to learn new things and meet new people. The person you sit next to on the next seminar might be the one helping you figure next great campaign out (over another coffee).
Listen to podcasts
On the bus? Turn on a Podcast.

Yeah, everywhere you are, not being able to read or watch something – listen. There is a lot of great Podcasts about social media out there. My current favourite; Today in Social Media – http://socialmediatoday.com/podcasts.
