It may be winter; but its time to start thinking about getting your digital media “vessels” back in the water

Its my favorite time of the year to catch up on all my missed blogs (especially while weeding out all the pre, pre-pre and post holiday junk mail).

I came across this one via @Buffer which I likes simply because it laid out some trending new digital landscape options and tools. So while they may all not be one that is useful to you; knowing they exist allow you to keep your “mental tool chest” full.
