Web 2.0 Social Tools Starter List

September 10, 2008 by Liz

Web 2.0 Tools

The Living Web

This is a short list of Social Media tools organized by their most compelling feature.
It’s not meant to be comprehensive, but instead a starter set. If you’re looking for something more extensive, I suggest Top 100 Social Media Tools by Steve Dale online.

Great examples of online social media tools often used (and referred to in conversations) include these.

I’ve left room to add in more. Feel free to suggest links for each category. If you think it’s useful, I’ll compile them into a pdf when I return from BlogWorld Expo.
