Here are links and stuff that I found useful this week for PR professionals and anyone with an interest in public relations or social media.

Instapaper – one for the readers
I tend to find lots of articles online which I simply don’t have the time to read at that given moment. I have previously used Delicious, to bookmark content but have since found Instapaper. Now I feel that Delicious is for archiving relevant sources for work purposes, e.g. some data I want to use in a pitch, while Instapaper is just for anything I want to read in the short term, e.g. when I am on the move or a travelling. It also has a really brilliant iPhone app, which makes reading on the go incredibly simple. It ensures the text instantly readable. I imagine Instapaper is brilliant with a Kindle.

Foursquare business tools
I have written a lot about the pros and cons of Foursquare, such as this article for the Citypress blog. Now the controversial and popular geo-location game has added metrics for businesses, which would want to try and use Foursquare more strategically for marketing.

Social media cheat sheet
This diagram has been knocking around for a few days now, but I found it so useful that I filed it for safe-keeping on my posterous blog.
