This post is going to be nothing but a list of apps/pages to try out. So here you go:
This allows you to set up a rss-feed or email alert of social mentions. You can export it as a spreadsheet and filter by date/video/pics.
Allows you to filter by time, so you can go back all time. You can use it to see what people tweeted a long time ago or you can see when a story takes off in social media. Alternative: Howlonghaveyoubeentweeting
Does screengrabs.
Allows you to do mapping from an excel sheet. You can also change colour for different categories and such.
A facebook search engine where you can search people for example "American who lives in Umeå" or "photos of people who graduated from Umeå university"
Do advanced search to find experts or former employees. Premium version seems to be the way to go.
With this tool you can do crowdsourced map from info from google forms since it connects to you google account. Alternatives are googlemaps or crowdmaps (you can use subcategories, upload more information, video photo, but is not embeddable) or Ushahidi (sms feature)
Forms can be used to crowdsource material, to get people to share their experieces. Link to them, embed them. They come out as a spread sheet. (Youtube tutorial)
Collect and curate material. You can't add an image or attached file on a google form, but crowdmap and tumblr does that. This is how the Guardian uses tumblr. Interactive and funny.
Can be used to see where a photo comes from, where was it uploaded before? Has it been altered. Also: tineye.com and google reverse image search (Youtube-tutorial).
Survey tool.
I use gramfeed a lot. It's a great tool for finding pictures from places you can't go to. And if you find a photo you also find a photographer. Search by location or hashtag. Alternative: Geofeedia, banjo or for youtube: mappeo (coming soon?).
Collect links and updates from social media. Similar to Storify but I prefer this. Probably because the mouse is awesome!
App that lets you scan the place you're at for photos. Good tool if you arrive late at a place where something happened.
Where are you? Now we know, and this means that we can ask why you where there. A journalist can check in to find sources or information that only local people know.
Gossip. Thoughts. And... yeah that's about it.
Whisper met Instagram and had a baby - that only lived for 10 seconds.
(This is going to look sooo much better when I edit it on my laptop)
(And oh, you're a journalist not a computer, remember to do what computers don't do very well: TALK TO PEOPLE)
