For those of you in the content creation/sharing business:

Using newsblur, I go through a ton of content every day. I'll click the "save button" if it's interesting, then tag it according to a standard categorization scheme.

Here's what happens via IFTTT and Zapier:

It get's added to my Buffer (bufferapp.com) to get scheduled on facebook, twitter, g+, and linkedin
It gets saved to my evernote, for later searching
It gets added to my contactually articles, so that I can share it with people in my network when it's time to ping them
Based on what category it's tagged with, it gets posted to the relevant subreddits
It get's added to a google spreadsheet for the category, for a later "best links of the month" post.

Really easy way to keep relevant social channels up to date without putting in a ton of extra work.
