Forget weekly podcast announcements. I’m talking about something you can open up, digest and immediately apply for a quick win in your business. (No, not a can of Red Bull.)

If you’ve ever used Workflowy, it’s like that, but better. [SEO Plagiarism Checker:]( Similar to Copyscape in that goes out and finds duplicate content on the web, except this uses Bing’s index to cross-reference every post/page on your site. [Zencastr]( A freemium tool for recording podcast and other audio over Skype. We’ve been using this ourselves after a recent Skype update started causing recording issues. [CloudApp]( This is the tool we use for capturing, annotating, and sharing screenshots, GIFs and screen recordings.
