Do you have a “SLAM ToolKit?”
I presented what I call the SLAM ToolKit for journalists this afternoon to the Tennessee Press Association meeting in Knoxville.
SLAM stands for:
- Simple
- Lean
- Affordable
- Mobile
Yeah, it’s corny, but, hopefully, memorable.
You can see the deck here. In many categories, there may be better picks (and if there are, I’d like to know about them), but the first choices reflect apps I have used, at least a bit.
