Favorite Tools

My company has quite a few, but as a blogger I'm just going to have to go with good old Google+. It sounds simple enough, but as a writer you want a place where you can connect with like minded people and share your articles. Not only that, but I find a lot of cool ideas on Google+ that I can take and turn into something to publish. And authorship? I'm so happy Google gave us that opportunity!
