Are You Making It Easy to Earn Earned Media? We explore what "Social Media" really means & drill into a series of models/infographic by exploring 3 Shocks & 11 Shifts in the Digital Landscape

Hybrid Media has caught people's attention. It represents a new wave of content curation by advocating content reuse. I update the model to V2 and drill deep on some examples.

Are you getting found? Are people sharing your ideas? Are you including your audience? Nothing works in isolation today - search and social play hand in hand.

We propose a model for how content can help you play a higher game.

We explore a new trend to create Hybrid Content.

We explore 7 problems facing the modern day hand-crafted HTML list. The biggest problem is it's not changed since 1989 when Tim Berners-Lee invented HTML.

Get inspired by Life of Brian's famous "What have the Romans ever done for us" sketch. What have lists ever done for us? Just like the Romans, its more than you think!

Go beyond the monkey. Making your newsletter work a little harder, for no bananas!

Further to releasing our Chrome extension last week, today we release a how to video for Listly. Hopefully this week's video is little slower. It's 8 minutes long. In case you are curious I used Canva to make all the stills and Screenflow to edit the video.

This week we refresh Listly with new styling.

We add the ability to choose layouts on the fly, helping communicate the responsive and dynamic nature of Listly.

We've been iterating towards this release, consolidating many changes:

• Plugin: Customized premium embeds, dynamic cascading caching plus a new Listly Plugin and a video to explain the plugin's power. This example of blending a playlist into a blog post by Jam Audio demonstrates the power of Listly.
• The Listly Chrome Extension is styled to match the new Listly - don't miss the video to discover how to import lists.
• Import CSV: We've also added upload from CSV to let you import images, tags and formatted copy (via List footer - see image)
• Communicate with your helpers via Listly. This collaborative feature is in beta for pro users (see image)

This week we release a new preview screen for customizing embeds. Now you can hide the header, hide the list tools and hide author attribution. You can also customize how many items are displayed. All this means your lists can blend into your posts. Listly is now embedded on over 9000 web domains.

Did you know you can create 3 free premium lists on Listly? We made a short video to show how to create these lists. A second video explains the process for managing Twitter lists with Listly. We think you'll find them useful. Have you installed the Chrome extension yet?

This week we give you early access to our new Chrome extension.

Install it, watch the video, and make a list.

Select text and images directly from any URL more precisely than the bookmarklet.

Select multiple items from a single page so you can quickly:

• Import lists from your blog post
• Create "Best of" posts curated from across the web

Tell us about your experience so we can iterate. We think it's a big time saver. How about you?

I had a through provoking discussion with Michele Price this week on her podcast.

I found myself asking did content kill the bookmark?

This week we explore the process of creating value on the internet - alone and together. We outline a 4 step process and 11 distinct tool categories that we can use to collaborate to create value for your audience. I was surprised just how much has changed in the last 2-3 years.

Love them or hate them you usually have to click This week's post explores leveraging people lists with lots of examples and inspiration. So what's stopping you? What people list will you make? We updated our search algorithm this week, so now the best lists rise to the top.
