Brief overview of various online monitoring tools : TweetDeck. SocialMention.TrackUr.GoogleAlert.BoardReader.

Pretty good but basic guide for newbies to online marketing. Topic includes: Keyword strategy, website optimization, blog/content creation, social media, traffic to lead conversion, email marketing, mobile, analysis.

This tool is great for real time stats. When you log-in you can actually see the visitors to your site. You can even converse with them as they view your site. The analytics portion is much easier to navigate than Google Analytics. This said, in terms of depth and data richness, Google Analytics is still better. With GA I can configure the data any which way I want. Woopra is limited in this aspect. As I understand, Woopra is still heavy in development so we can probably expect a lot more functionality in the months to come.

This platform allows you to update all of your social media and blogs ine one place. You only pay as per your need. The bad thing is, the reporting function is terribly weak. SocialBaker is way better. But to have to pay for 2 different systems just for social media could be too much.

It's easy to get glued to the computer when working on interesting projects. But as per pomodoro time management technique, you are suppose to work in 25 minute cycles (http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/). You'll see pomodoro under Special Timers section of this page. I can't exercise religiously but i sure can do jumping jacks or stretches during the 5 minute breaks. 

Cool stats. Links with google analytics. However, it still does not provide the stats on a per page basis (ie. stats out of welcome page, video page, etc). Largely focused on posts and streams stats.
