In no particular order, here are all the ways you can stay connected. It may seem overwhelming, but it’s good to have options, right?
- iPhone App
- Subscribe via RSS
- Follow on Google+
- Follow on Twitter
- Become a fan on Facebook
- Subscribe on YouTube
- Follow our Company on LinkedIn
- Add ITS to your Delicious Network
- Add ITS to your Technorati Favorites

So what are the benefits to following/friending/subscribing all of these different channels? Besides finding what works best for you, there may be specific contests that only certain fans or followers could take part in. You don’t want to miss out on any of those, do you?
iPhone App
The app runs off of the RSS feed, which we’ll explain next, to provide all the newest articles. You can also check out our Twitter tweets, YouTube videos and share all these on your own Twitter or Facebook account. This can all be done right from the app!

*UPDATE* – As of 6/5/12, the iPhone app is no longer available. Check out this post we made a while back and standby for a new app. Unfortunately we don’t have a time frame but you’ll know when it’s ready.
RSS
To do that, you need to use an RSS Reader. An RSS Reader allows you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use. So what you have is a way to simply visit one “reader” and view the content from all your favorite sites.
If you use Gmail then you already have a Google Reader account, which is an RSS Reader. Simply visit http://www.google.com/reader and in the upper right hand side, click “Add a subscription” then paste this http://feeds.feedburner.com/itstactical and click “Add.” You will now have updates from ITS delivered straight to your Google Reader inbox!
Another option is to simply click this link http://feeds.feedburner.com/itstactical and choose one of the many options provided to subscribe with you chosen reader.
Google Buzz
You also have the ability to comment on status updates or posts and even get into discussions with other fans. This is another thing that you can use your existing Gmail account for too.
