Tell Me Something that I Don't Know

The Chris Matthews show is a syndicated TV show. One of the segments on it is "Tell Me Something that I Don't Know." Top news reporters from around the country tell Chris their "scoops and predictions" about current or future events. Similiarly, TELL US something that we don't know about technology or cultural/social media.  Keep in mind: this is more of a HOW TO that you demonstrate or present rather than then general news information.

1. Compare and contrast "TweetDeck" and "HootSuite." Try these out.
2. Are there any other similiar social media?

Due Monday, September 12,  NOON!!!
