I roll over and turn off the alarm and then instantly proceed with my day by checking my Email accounts, Twitter accounts, and Facebook via the iPhone. I almost like the interface on the iPhone better than I do on my Macbook’s browser.

While drinking a cup of coffee, I head to my home office and proceed to check my websites’ Analytics and Keyword ranking. I quickly develop a simple plan to help the ranking and boast my stats by  at least 5%. Checking the websites’ web stats and keyword ranking is very important to your banding.

Then, I log into my HootSuite account and check the latest news, my DMs, @s and my stats for my Twitter account. I can’t express how important keeping stats on everything you do will help build your brand!

Once I get my plan of attack, I eat my breakfast and get to work on SEO, Twittering, Blog posts, and communication with other Social Media addicts.

I figured I should give my readers a glimpse into my routine. What is your routine?

Brizzly takes your Twitter and Facebook login and creates a simple manageable layout for your feeds. The feeds are separate in their respective network but clicking on a tab will switch them easily. You’re probably wondering why you would use this website when you can just open tabs in a browser? The answer is simple: security. With Brizzly you can view a shortened URL as its actual extended form! The extended form will allow you to view if it’s from the correct source or the source is a scam. Another feature is video and picture viewing… this may not seem special, but Brizzly allows image and video viewing right from the feed with out clicking on a link! This saves time and is much more secure. Lastly, DM (Direct Messages) are viewed in chat form to make DMing easier and communication simple.

Don’t worry, all of the features you find on the feeds of Twitter or Facebook remain the same; the ‘Like’ button, ‘Comment’ section, ‘Retweet’… etc. So, using it is intuitive and easily. This is a simple feed manager with some added security and bonuses, unlike Gist which is a secure feed and email manager and much much more (Read more about Gist).
