6 Clever Tricks for Social Media Managers
Even if you're the ultimate hybrid project manager/content creator and community-engager, reality is, you'll probably develop Community Manager Multi-Personality Disorder (CMMPD)* at least once in your career. *We totally made this up.

Q&A: How Kaplan’s TechStars ed tech accelerator plans to get to the head of the class TechStars is a leader among general tech startup incubators, but can it work its magic in ed tech? Earlier this year, education giant Kaplan announced a new EdTech Accelerator powered by TechStars. But it’s hardly the only one. In the past few months, no less than five accelerators have launched offering ed tech entrepreneurs money, mentors and a faster track to growth. Earlier this month, the program announced that it had brought on Don Burton, a serial entrepreneur and investor with a deep background in for-profit education, to serve as the accelerator’s managing director. Here’s a (lightly edited) transcript of our conversation: GigaOM: Ed tech accelerators are popping up all over the place — why do you think now is an interesting time to be a part of one? Burton: We’re at the very beginning of major change. What’s really exciting is now we’re thinking of new ways of imagining what learning can look like. Maybe a lot of startups will get into accelerators because there are so many.

LinkedIn Back in the day, I had a Rolodex packed with information. I made notes that went far beyond a person’s current contact information, like where they had worked in the past. Luckily, LinkedIn makes it easy to keep a record of all the contacts you’ve made through the site, as well as back up your own profile. To export your contacts, click on “Contacts.” Facebook SocialSafe is an inexpensive application, priced at $2.99. Twitter Do you back up your social media profiles?
