6. Cooliris - A favorite browser extension of mine Cooliris isn't directly related to social media marketing, but it is an excellent way to look for cool pictures out on the web as well as find interesting content surrounding a specific topic. If you enjoy writing about the arts or popular culture this app is an excellent way to find youtube videos or other interesting pieces of content you can link to in your blog or hubpage articles.
