• #5: Storify is an application that is free that allows you to create your story by selecting information from a variety of sources, including: Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Google, RSS You can enter search terms and, depending on the source you’re exploring, you may have multiple filter options (for example, the option to exclude retweets in Twitter) to limit the results displayed. Once you’ve collected information that you’re interested in, you can move the bits you want to include in your story by simply dragging from your search result list to your storyboard. To provide context, click on the “T” on the left margin of the storyboard to provide titles, commentary, or summaries. You can also add links here to associate your text with information from a wider range of sources. Storify allows you to automatically share a story to Twitter and/or Facebook and provides an embed code so that you can embed your story on a Web site. You can also share your Storify link with others. Storify preserves all attribution and metadata for each element you’ve included and lets you notify sources you’ve quoted (e.g., Twitter users) when you share a story. NB Can embed link. All of this will be available on line so you can add the link if you wish - See hyperlink button top right
• #7: Pocket allows you save and store SoMe from many different platforms including Twitter, Flipboard and Feedly. With twitter, it is really simple. Just click the 'save to pocket' at the bottom of the tweet. This automatically archives the content and link for that tweet in your pocket application. Another feature is the ability to email yourself useful links. You can set this up easily on your pocket account and you then just need to email add@getpocket.com with the relevant link in the main body of the email. This will then automatically send the link to your pocket list. Simply send any link that you want to save to add@getpocket.com and Pocket will put it in your list. Please be sure that the link is included in the Body of the email, and that only one link is shared at a time. There is an option to purchase Premium package but free works for me! Here is an example of how your information is stored. It can also be presented in a list format which is easier if you wish to scan more material. You can create tags to help you search for articles and links more readily.
• #8: Another way of reviewing your Pocket list Great for producing a checklist of material that you want to read or have read. You can archive it so that it would be easy to navigate articles that you want to read, were important, useful to access quickly etc It is not great for sharing as a document for the purpose of appraisal. It is possible though to share it with others though and perhaps as the appraisal process becomes more electronic and internet connections within the NHS get better then appraisers will be able to access the link more easily. Not great for printing but then we really need to be moving away from printing reams of paper anyway
• #9: IFTTT or “If This Then That” is a web service that aggregates many other web apps into one place and can perform actions given a certain set of criteria. IFTTT gives you creative control over the products and apps you love. Recipes are simple connections between products and apps. There are two types of Recipes: DO Recipes and IF Recipes. IF Recipes run automatically in the background. Create powerful connections with one simple statement — if this then that. All you need to do is create your recipe and let it store all of your SoMe activity This one has a huge number of variations, but the intent is pretty similar: You use this recipe to create an archive of what you’ve posted to social media. Here are a few ideas: Save all your tweets to a Google Spreadsheet Save all the links you tweet to a Google Spreadsheet Save all your tweets with a certain hashtag to a Google Spreadsheet You can do variations of this recipe with other social networks and other archiving apps (like Evernote). You may enjoy using the resulting spreadsheet for weekly, monthly, or quarterly reviews of what you’ve posted, or you can keep track of tweets and links so you don’t repeat yourself with content. I’ve used a similar recipe for coming up with some of our content suggestions here at Buffer. https://blog.bufferapp.com/the-big-list-of-ifttt-recipes-for-social-media
• #10: An example of a recipe I have created is here Choose trigger e.g twitter ‘tweet’ Can include replies, RT or ‘favourite if wish Can do all sorts Save a published blog post any of these applications Save email attachments
• #11: Could set up recipe to move your archived pocket trigger to another app e.g drop box etc. Easier to view on pocket but easier for list for CPD on other Can do all sorts Save a published blog post any of these applications Save email attachments
• #12: Here is a list generated with google drive excel Could easily do the same with drop box or other cloud device. Could even set it up so just emails you
• #13: If you have a website, then you should make sure that you keep a record of the interest generated from your website and posts. Blogging sites like wordpress come with this already set up. Google analytics is very useful if you are not using wordpress or your site does not have built in analytics. You do need to sign up for a google account and then set up google analytics but these are both free.
• #14: Google analytics is very useful if you are not using wordpress or your site does not have built in analytics. You do need to sign up for a google account and then set up google analytics but these are both free. What can’t you do? You won’t be able to keep a time log of your internet activity. Arguably documenting the amount of time you spend on SoMe is less important than the valuable lessons learnt. We don’t really have an electronic way of recording the amount of time we currently spend reviewing journals so I guess this set up is no different. It does however give you much more comprehensive supporting evidence of what you have been doing to maintain your CPD rather than ‘I have read JICS/EMJ/Anaesthesia etc’
