A treasure trove of social media advice from NPR’s Sandbox Tumblr

Want some tips on how to make the best use of social media? Well, they’re all over. Just sniff around.

Want a gold mine? A “treasure trove”? Check out Melody Kramer’s Social Sandbox Mega Recap Post on her personal blog. The Social Sandbox is a Tumblr Kramer ran for NPR, where she’s in her final week as a digital strategist and editor before moving to a government agency called 18F.

The Sandbox, Kramer wrote in October exists because NPR, as public media, ought to share it’s knowledge, and also because “Sharing is infectious! We’ve found that other people open up with their own wisdom and experiences when we are generous with our own knowledge.”

That’s pretty social, don’t you think?

The Mega Recap Post is organized first by platform—Twitter, then Reddit and so on—and then by categories such as “Cool Tools” and “Guides.”

I count 125 links. I don’t think you should try to read them all in one sitting.
