Chris Brown / @BrownCTopher
GLAAD Digital Director
Favorite App/Service: CrowdTangle

“CrowdTangle allows us to see what content is under and over performing on social media. The easy-to-use dashboards help us better understand how our social content stacks up against other brands, and gives us valuable insight to help guide our social strategy.”
Hamilton 68 Dashboard

Jim Halloran / @jimhalloran
Chief Digital Officer
Favorite Service: Hamilton 68 Dashboard

“The Hamilton 68 dashboard tracks Russian social media disinformation campaigns. Named after Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Paper 68 (on the importance of “protecting America’s electoral process from foreign meddling”), the dashboard initially tracked election-related tweets but has since expanded to additional topics, such as the Parkland school shooting. The dashboard is a critical tool in tracking the size and intensity of the attack on our digital lifeline.”
Sporcle

Matt Goodman / @MattLeeG
Associate Director of Communications
Favorite App/Service: Sporcle

“Sporcle is a massive online quiz website with quizzes on literally everything – world capitals, X-Men, sports teams, LGBTQ characters in films, and more. It’s an amazing way to learn, get really good at being a pub trivia MVP, and I find that playing a quiz or two in between work projects really helps clear my head so I can jump into the next task at 100%.”

Sue Yacka-Bible / @SueYacka
GLAAD Communications Director
Favorite App/Service: Feedly

“Since the demise of Google Reader, my go-to news feed app has been Feedly. As a Communications professional, Feedly lets me monitor all my news sources in real time, from mainstream coverage of anti-LGBTQ attacks by the Trump administration, to the quality LGBTQ news from HuffPost Queer Voices and TransGriot, to the tech and digital stories in Recode and the Verge that impact LGBTQ people as we navigate online spaces daily.”
