Hootsuite: Hoo Do You Want to Hoot Too?
All I can say is, “About bloody time!”
I know functionality is a key driver in the initial stages of creating any new application. The online realms are no different. As such, I’ve chomped down on my lower lip and muscled through many of the online apps thus far to help me streamline my Twitter experience. Busy with clients, building sites, promoting social media, others sites, and so on — there is a LOT to DO — it’s rare that I find much time to really enjoy gabbing and when I do, I’m too damn tired! Not fair, eh? :p
Okay, enough of that pity party. HootSuite showed up here recently with a beautifully laid out interface that allows managing multiple Twitter Accounts, Schedule Later Tweets (didn’t see recurring/spinnable unfortunately), integrated stats for links clicked and really what I would consider a clean and easy to follow adminstration dashboard. None of what they offer as I’ve mentioned so far is terribly unique, but I still stand firmly by the major kudos for a great interface that is doing more for usability and functionality.
What Else Stands Out?
Add Editor to help manage accounts. Wow! In others, this feature is quite different, and in the case of Tweetlater is one that insists all who manage tweets from the pro version must also be pro buyers. Well, if everyone were paying for the pro version, then us pros wouldn’t need the pro version to provide services for others, right?
It looks to me like HootSuite has seen the writing on that wall and is enabling a more seamless means to manage accounts and permissions to help people in organizations manage projects and campaigns.
I still have much more finicking here with HootSuite to do as I’ve literally just cracked open the door tonight and got all excited. Check their About Page and see their list of features. By the way, did I mention these are some local boys in Vancouver, British Columbia?
