• Use RowFeeder.com to have Twitter mentions automatically posted to a google spreadsheet. Easy way to monitor what’s being said about you, your company, your brand.
• Link to a specific point in a YouTube video – this will come in very handy, now that we’ve gone all video for The QB Show! You just put #t= to the end of the video URL, along with m for the minute, s for the second. For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un-xLrv9F2Q#t=21m53s will take you directly to the point in our show where we’re doing a screen share.
