Raise your hand if you have a Twitter account. How about a Facebook page? Very good. You can put your hands down now. Now raise your hand if you have A LOT to say but don’t want to overload your followers … you know, give them bite-size information on a frequent basis as opposed to the whole enchilada right off the bat.
In today’s posting, we will show our readers why the birds need to get along with the owls over at HootSuite if they’re looking to start scheduling their tweets ahead of time. Did we mention it works for other social networks and blogs as well?
Under Wing Advantages
There are A TON of features offered for FREE over at HootSuite besides simply scheduling tweets … here are a couple that got us smitten with that little owl at first sight:
- Manage Multiple Accounts/Networks
- Stats. Lots of Beautiful Stats.
- File Uploads/Hosting
- URL Shortening
Here are a couple other features that might catch our readers’ eyes:
- Multiple User (Team) Integration
- Multi-Stream Dashboard View
- Message Drafts for Easy Composition
One of the Parliament
What is a group of owls called? Go on, take a guess. Give up? A parliament. Cool, huh? If and when our readers decide to become “one of the parliament” of HootSuite users, they will be able to choose from one of (3) current color schemes to view their custom streams. Check out an example of each below:
Functional? Check. Customizable? Check. Recommended? Check. (see below)
Facebook, TED, The White House and more make up an impressive list of high-profile companies taking advantage of the free services HootSuite has to offer.
Hint: Follow AudioAcrobat and WomensRadio on Twitter for a great example of how HootSuite can be incorporated into your small to medium sized business to give you and your team an added “edge” to your social media strategy.
Booter Scooters Look at those Hoot-ers!
Once our readers take the leap of faith and give HootSuite a try, they will notice in their Twitter stream and Facebook wall that each post provided by HootSuite comes with a short (discreet) message and/or icon beneath the content, letting others know that this information (tweet, post, etc.) is provided via HootSuite.
What a great way to get the word out, right? Noticing these and other systems that have been enacted by those our readers follow and respect in the world of social media is a great way to stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in technology and workflow automation. Stay curious and fearless!
If you’re still raising your hand in the air in response to our second question about scheduling tweets we apologize. You may lower your arm and let the blood return. Thank you for your patience.
