- Use and track the social channel: Apart from personally using the website, one should constantly monitor the social channel itself to keep track of popular content/discussions. This includes keeping tabs on what its users are doing within the channel, which is a good way to discover workable tactics.
- Monitor commentary: Apart from monitoring the social channel, one should seek to accumulate knowledge on it by reading and learning from articles/tutorials written by others. It’s always beneficial to learn from the different experiences of others, which will give you a good range of perspectives on the topic.
  Interact With Power Users: One of the most powerful ways to get an idea of what works or not for a social channel is to interact with its seasoned users. These users are often deeply involved with the community and they can give you ‘in-crowd’ insight that is not easily attainable (not without much time investment). Learning how to talk to these users is a good way to get feedback for your plans.
- create an information HQ
- in the form of a notebook, word processing software, to-do list and RSS feed reader. The point is to make sure that you have a centralized location from which to retrieve information on the site.
- Google documents to record notes on the site, del.icio.us as a bookmarking tool, a to-do list and a separate folder in my RSS feed reader.
- set up a separate feed folder in your RSS reader for the specific social site. Now your objective here is to subscribe to specific keyword watchlists.
- Google Alerts, Google Blogsearch, aggregators and other social news communities. I’ve covered this in greater detail in my post on information sources.
- read a specific article and extract key points by pasting it in my documents file.

social media streamlining efficiency

As a content producer or a social news submitter, it helps to know what the general news-cycle/publishing cycle is, and work with it. As a blogger, I use Have a Mint to see what times most of my readers visit my site so that I can publish accordingly, and as a social news submitter, I keep track of when other bloggers are publishing so I know when to share a story on StumbleUpon, Digg, or Propeller (it also helps to know what time these communities are most actively surfing these sites).
Use special operators. Using these operators when performing searches can get you more relevant results and get them to you faster.

- Don’t social bookmark if you don’t have to. Keep it simple and get more done.
- Have ideas delivered to you. You can visit any social news site, use a search string or tags and rip a feed for all the latest results for that query. For example, simply visit digg.com/search, search for the word ‘freelancing’ and click the rss button to have all the submissions matching that keyword delivered to you.
- Remove redundancy.
- Yahoo! Pipes,
- Power through. Let’s say you’re a power user on a social news site. Don’t make yourself go through the laborious process of going back and forth between a link you want to submit and share and the page for the site you’re sharing it on. For example, a tool that has probably saved me many days already, is the Firefox contextual menu plugin Digg This.
- Use one social news site to find content
- use a tool like Digg Alerter to be automatically alerted when a story of yours is promoted.
- automating all the parts
