If you’re new to social media then it is important to arm yourself with as much information about the medium as possible. However, with the plethora of online content about online marketing and social media, how do you know where to start?

I came across this post by Chris Kleff who answers this question by highlighting the best online guides to Social Media. I really must agree on the following:

Blogging 101 by Susan Goodman
Tweeting for Companies by Tara Hunt
A Comprehensive Guide to StumbleUpon by Dosh Dosh
How Do I Get Placement On Blogs by Jason Falls
State of Blog Relations by Blogger Outreach
Evaluating New Social Media Networks by CIO Insight

Other links that deserve mention from my personal resource collection include:

Of course, I’d also like to do a bit of shameless self promotion and point you to my own free guide to social media. If you haven’t already, download it here and be sure to pass it on to your friends.
