FREE STUFF!

I admit it.  I’m a whore for a bargain.
Show me a deal and I can overcome nearly any phobia. Pay for my plane ticket and who says I’m afraid of heights.  Buy me a city condo and I bet ya I won’t complain about small places. 
Well --surprise, surprise-- the fantastic free social media stuff out there is winning me over. 
The way my new-media assistant prof. Jeremy Caplan  tells it, there are as many new-media deals out there as, umm, let’s just say blogs and bloggers.
Here are some for starters:
  • How about http://www.mailchimp.com/.  It's Constant Contact for us cheapskates.  FREE marketing services that design, send and track email campaigns.
  • Then there’s http://presslift.com/ Not only is it FREE but, the way they tell it, the site practically makes dead press releases come alive by adding video, audio and links.
  • And for us new-media-phobic folks, there’s http://nutshellmail.com/ For FREE it pulls together in a single email all those endlessly overwhelming tweets and facebook updates.
Who said we were cowards in this brave new world of social media?  Oh, eh...that was me.
