I am a big fan of Google Chrome. Even if it isn’t your preferred browser, I believe it is important that you know about these 5 Google Chrome extensions to help improve social media productivity. Saving time and getting more done means you can focus on being ‘social’ and worry less about managing the ‘media’.

It’s all about productivity
For starters one of the really cool things about adding these (and other) extensions to your Chrome browser is that they are there ready for you to use on any computer when you are logged into Chrome. This means that you can operate with the same level of productivity at an internet café as you can in your office (to a certain extent).
Of course you have to have an account or profile with the respective third party apps here. However once you do and you have these extensions all set up you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to share, curate and post content all over the social web.
Buffer
This is by far the extension that I use the most. I use it for all sorts of things including: Instant tweets, to add tweets & posts to my Buffer queue and even as a quick link shortening tool if I need a short link for various purposes.
Clip to Evernote
I use Evernote across all my devices. I am constantly collecting ideas, content and even sounds to share on social media and for blog post material. I use this extension daily to clip and tag content that I want to read later, refer to when blogging, or to curate and post on my different social media channels.
RiteTag Tag Optimizer
If you are active on social media and haven’t tried RiteTag it’s time that you did. It is a powerful social media tool that allows you to reach beyond your followers. By using this nifty Chrome extension you can quickly create a tweet, optimize it with the most powerful and relevant hashtag and then schedule it for when ever you like. These are only a few of the features. RiteTag also has amazing reports and analytics along with a user friendly interface.
Do Share
Google+ has become a very important social network for a multitude of reasons. You can save time by using this extension to easily schedule your posts on Google+. It also allows you to post to your personal profile or Google+ page. I also like the rich text editor, the hashtag AutoComplete and the option to save as a draft. This extension also supports multiple Google login.
HootSuite Hootlet
When it comes to social media dashboards HootSuite is a very powerful platform. If you are using HootSuite and Google Chrome without this extension then you aren’t using either of them to their full potential. Hootlet serves as excellent way to quickly share or AutoSchedule content across any or all of the social channels you have loaded into HootSuite.
