From last week: Social media management, Google’s new Buzz, better project management, and the Siri virtual assistant

Last week was another busy one–here’s what you may have missed:

On Tuesday I kicked off a new series on using social media to deliver content by giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how our blog works. If you’re on the fence about blogging or social media in general, or are unsure about how to make it work within your schedule or workflow, give this a once-over.

Also on Tuesday, Google announced Google Buzz, a new enhancement to its Gmail e-mail client that incorporates features akin to those in Twitter, Facebook, and Friendfeed. Tech blogs and pundits weighed in with the pros and cons, many of which can be found by perusing our daily web links. If you decide Google Buzz isn’t for you, Amber showed you how to remove Buzz from your Gmail on Thursday.

Back to Wednesday, Amber shared 1DayLater, a great tool for anyone needing to track invoices, mileage, and time spent on projects. If you’re an independent professional developer or consultant, check it out!

Finally, on Friday, I shared some initial thoughts I’ve had using Siri, a new virtual assistant for the iPhone. This is really neat stuff, and if you have an iPhone I recommend downloading this free app right away to put through its paces. I haven’t been this impressed by a brand new product in quite some time.

And, as usual, we shared links to interesting things across the Internet throughout the week. Don’t forget, you can subscribe to our blog by e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter to stay up-to-date throughout the week!
