You’ve cleaned up your digital act with resources that we provided in our Spring Cleaning Guide Part One last week. Hooray! Now what? Well, as they say, you can never be to rich or clean (being too thin is overrated – we like cake.) There are always more tools to explore when it comes to managing your digital life. New shiny objects are being released each week so be sure to search the iTunes store and use the search feature to research cleanup topics that are important to you! Have a great clean up resource that we haven’t listed? We’d love to know about it. Tell us at jami@splatworld.tv.

Social Media Platforms

Make Social Studies your best subject
hootsuite.com
(Free trial)

By now, everyone knows that Hootsuite is one of the best ways to manage multiple social networks in one place, connect with customers and grow your brand. Often overlooked are its Listening features (find out what your customers are saying about you and your competition) and it’s security features (two step authentication ensures your brand and networks are protected. Sometimes spring clean up means being more cognizant of your time and avoiding burnout rates as a social media manager. Hootsute (also available for mobile) allows you to quickly respond to messages, mentions and comments through a single dashboard and also allows you to schedule posts ahead of time, allowing you to commit an entire Monday to posting…that way you’re not worrying about it throughout the week.

After you connect your accounts and run a report (under 5 minutes) scrubber will flag posts with profanity, innuendo, mentions of drugs or alcohol, flag political and religious posts, allow you to search for custom keywords like ex, boss and it will also scan through comments your friends made on your posts (you know, like from the night you posted a picture with your bra on backwards.) Scrubber is completely free to run a report. You only pay if you find a lot of items you need to clean up and desire Scrubber to help clean it up – you’ve got it maid (#sorrynotsorry).

When you need to access the tabs again, you can either restore them individually or all at once. When your tabs are in the OneTab list, you will save up to 95% of memory because you will have reduced the number of tabs open in Google Chrome. We can’t believe this is free.

This app allows you to save files directly to any drive by dragging-and-dropping your way to happiness. You can customize your USB icons for easy identification and to give them a nifty personal touch. We also like that drives automatically eject when your Mac goes to sleep and you can hide the disks you don’t need.
