The world of social media is constantly changing. Keeping up with those changes can feel like a full-time job. I should know: I write a weekly email newsletter<\/a> where I try my best to keep readers up-to-date on the changes.<\/p>\n

Below are my go-to sources for keeping up on what’s new in social media.<\/p>\n

The main source I use to keep up with what’s happening in social media and the tech world throughout the day is Techmeme<\/a>. If you don’t have time to read during the day, try listening to the\u00a0Techmeme Ride Home<\/a> podcast that gives you a good recap of the day’s top tech news.<\/p>\n

I am also a big fan of Buffer’s podcast The Science of Social Media<\/a> to keep up with social media trends and research. Buffer also has a great blog that shares tools and tips for social media success<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To learn about new products and emerging trends, I highly recommend the Product Hunt daily email newsletter<\/a>. This really is the best place to be learn about new products and product updates in real time.<\/p>\n

More social media websites<\/h3>\n

Social Media Examiner<\/a> has great posts that keep you updated on trends and tools in the social media world. They don’t do a lot of breaking news on the website, but it’s still a great place for social media content.<\/p>\n

Crunchbase<\/a> gives you insight into companies, trends and acquisitions. I look mainly at the “news from around the web” section and at which companies are trending.<\/p>\n

Social Media Today<\/a> offers breaking social media news through the day every day. It’s a great resource if you only want to follow one place for social media news.<\/p>\n

Beyond those sites, it’s a good idea to closely watch the official blogs of the big social companies:<\/p>\n
