Available for desktop, tablets and smartphones, Taptu also lets you customize the look of your feeds so you can see what’s important to you on the top of your page and push what you’ll “get to at some point” towards the bottom. You can build your own stream or enter a keyword and see what options pop up.

Web.com Small Business Toolkit: Zite 2.0 (Digital Magazine App)

March 26th, 2013 ::

Zite 2.0

We told you about Zite one year ago when digital magazine apps seemed to be surging in popularity by gathering top stories of interest to readers based on their interests and delivering them in one attractive dashboard. The demise of one major player has not stopped Zite from revamping their iPad app in their new 2.0 version and offering thousands more topics, a new look and an “intelligent discovery machine” that learns your likes and dislikes as you use it so that it retrieves more relevant content results as time goes on. Also helpful: Zite 2.0 is now integrated with Facebook so the app can provide content suggestions based on your history in the social network.

iPhoneSocial Media Examiner published a great blog post recently on social media marketing apps that I just pulled out and went through, pulling the most useful ones for small business owners out. I already wrote up the first 10 I liked the best;  here are the second 10.

NetNewswire: This RSS reader for iPhone syncs with Google Reader so you can access all the blogs you love to read while out and about.

Peak Meetings: Capture and organize your thinking to make meetings more efficient when ideas hit you rather than waiting until you are in front of a computer or have a piece of paper handy.

PhotoRocket: You can share multiple photos with friends by creating PhotoRocket Galleries, which are customizable spaces that let post photos via Facebook, Twitter or your email contact list.

PitchEngine: Want to get press?  This is social platform will help you get the word out about your company, products and services.

QuickVoice Recorder: The name of this app says it all.  It is a full-featured iPhone/iPad voice recorder, so you can record your ideas, voice memos, voice email, dictation, lists, meetings, classes or entire lectures.

SocialMedia: #socialmedia.com hosts a weekly Twitter event every Tuesday focused on – any guesses? – social media.

Spout: This app lets you stream news, messages, tweets and comments from your Facebook, Twitter or Google Reader (RSS) feeds.

Vignature: Access PDF docs, like expense reports, consent forms, sales contracts and approvals, from email or Dropbox, open them in this app, sign them and return them to sender.

Wired PR Works: This PR and social media marketing app lets you access tips, ideas and strategies to grow your business.
