New to the social media scene and not sure where to start?

MarketingProfs has a brief list online covering social media tools that run the gamut from instant messaging and social bookmarking to photo and video sharing. You may be using a few of these tools, you have probably heard about many of them, and we are guessing that some are completely new to you (Campfire? Qik?).

One of the items on this list that we had not tried yet is Google Reader, Google’s online newsreader. It works much like the reader we are currently in love with (RSS Bandit), and you can import your feeds into it and get up and running in a couple of minutes. It’s definitely not as full featured as a standalone reader, but being able to use it in FireFox is a definite plus, and at first glance it looks and works pretty smooth.

Anyhow, you can find a link to it as well as close to two dozen other tools at MarketingProfs.
