We’re building new short-form classes here at the Maremel Institute (and join our email list to find out more about the upcoming schedule).  One that so far is in high demand is on Social Listening, the arts of using social media for business intelligence not just on big trends, but also on where unique conversations are going on that align with your work and message.

We are looking at current resources to share in these courses, and ran into a great SlideShare deck from December by Rosie Siman (@rosiesiman) on Social Listening tools.  We wanted to share this great visual representation of tools while we are putting our own work together.

1) Enjoy!

2) Let us know which ones you like or have been missed.

3) Let us know what you’d like to make sure that we cover in these new short-form classes.  You can contact us at synthesis [dot] maremel.com for more information and recommendations.

Craft, Process, and Thinking of Becoming

Today I'm working on taxes for our two college students' FAFSAs and watching "Abstract: The Art of Design" on Netflix in the background.  Christoph Niemann is both in his story and telling his story about craft and life.  He is a character and an animated...
