"Welcome to our regular look at the online tools and platforms that have been generating buzz over the last seven days.\u00A0The big story of the week has been the Google+ Project \u2013 dubbed by many as Google\u2019s answer to Facebook, Google+ is trying to bring all of your social sharing together in the single place.\r\n\r\nAs it has been talked about so much this week (well done to Google\u2019s publicity machine!) we\u2019re going to focus on five other tools and platforms that you should check out too.\r\n\r\nHere they come\u2026\r\n\r\n\tMyWebCareer.com serves up your \u201CCareer Score\u201D - The official line on this is that it analyses data from your Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Quora profiles, as well as web search results, to give you a \u2018career visibility score\u2019. It is based on things like the strength of your networks and recommendations, and even gives you tips for improvement. My favourite element of MyWebCareer.com is the way your scores are presented, giving you clear and concise benchmarks to work from. Get the complete low down here.\r\n\tVerticalResponse brings easy social sharing to your email \u2013 For marketers, VerticalResponse\u2019s new social sharing email functionality could make a huge difference to big campaigns. It works by importing Facebook \u2018like\u2019, Twitter \u2018tweet\u2019 and LinkedIn \u2018share\u2019 buttons into your emails, giving recipients the opportunity to share from the one place. It also has an analytics feature built in so you\u2019ll know how many clicks have generated from those emails. Sign up for free here.\r\n\tMemonic delivers an Evernote alternative that\u2019s worth a peek \u2013 Evernote has fast become one of the web\u2019s most popular organisational and clipping tools. Memonic.com delivers an Evernote-esque experience and allows collaborative sharing across Web, Windows and OS X desktops, iOS, and Android. The Chrome add-on is especially handy. Take the full tour here.\r\n\tLiveGO.com wants to be your complete social dashboard \u2013 A week barely goes by anymore without a new product being launched that will supposedly \u2018bring all of your social accounts together in the one place\u2019. LiveGO is having a go anyway and its main point of difference is its integration with MSN Messenger and other IM services, living side-by-side with Twitter and Facebook. If you like instant chatting, this might be one for you. Find out more about LiveGO here.\r\n\tMake your meetings work better with yaM \u2013 yaM stands for \u2018Yet Another Meeting\u2019 and aims to take the frustration out of meetings. It brings all of your notes, agendas, dates and files all together in the one place. You can create meetings, add people, write agendas and take notes in a collaborative way, and it is all updated in real-time. Watch the introductory video here.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSo while Google+ hogged the spotlight this week, several other tools and platforms still made enough noise to be featured here.\r\n\r\nFor more, check out last week's Most Talked About Social Media Tools and Follow TNW Social Media on Twitter @tnwsocialmedia.\r\n\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
