Why Hootsuite really rocks!
Author: Stuart R. CrawfordOur team at Ulistic coaches many small business folks and marketing teams across North America each day. This is the part of the job that I truly enjoy, openly sharing concepts, tips and tricks and practical use of social media. It is always such a delight when the light bulb goes off during a consulting session with one of our clients. Business in my opinion are done with the fluff around social media, they want the hard facts, return on investment justifications, what are the opportunities and most importantly what do need to do. Interested in learning more, just click here, drop me an email or phone call.
One Product that rocks my world – Hootsuite
One of the products we discuss at length during our Social Media Consulting engagements is Hootsuite. Hootsuite is the cornerstone of our social media modules and it rightly deserves it place in the pecking order of must have social media management tools for any size of business or hobbyist.
I have personally tried a number of social media services out there (Tweetdeck is one). Hootsuite is really the only true social media dashboard product out there that is easy to use and does almost anything you can imagine. One the biggest stress factors with social media is managing the time to engage properly online and make important connections, Hootsuite solves this. With Hootsuite, you can manage multiple Twitter accounts, LinkedIn profiles, Facebook pages, Foursquare accounts and so much more. You can even invite members of your team and share certain online social media accounts.
It is a must have for any serious social media professional out there and it is also Canadian.
Hootsuite is based in Vancouver, BC.
Hootsuite runs online, it is a true cloud solution. Leveraging the power of HTML5, Hootsuite requires no software to install and no widgets or browser add-ons, simply point your browser to http://www.hootsuite.com, create your account and you are off to the races.
Karim at Techvibes shared some recent news on Hootsuite the other day. Hootsuite is cranking it up another step. I love the fact that I can segment my Twitter account into lists, searches and much more but now I can filter these columns on keywords or Klout. My Klout score sits at 29, it has taken a hit over the past little while since I haven’t been that active in the Twitter Universe lately.
Go and check out Hootsuite, it is awesome web-based solution that rocks!
