I LOVE HootSuite!

Maybe I’m a productivity junkie, or obsessive compulsive, perhaps a little narcissistic… the truth is that HootSuite helps me get smart about using Twitter.  If you’re out to measure engagement, HootSuite provides the real-time data you need to figure out which of Tweets get the most traction.

No more tweeting in the blind.  From topic areas to timing and cadence, flight test the variables that affect your audience the most.  Especially useful for the newbie tweeter and folks running short on time, HootSuite provides instant feedback on clicks, lets you pre-schedule tweets and manage multiple Twitter profiles from one interface.

Add multiple users to your account and designate their access levels, monitor conversations using the search feature and even post directly from the web.

In a perfect world, I wish that HootSuite could integrate with my blog — that way new posts could go up automatically — what a time saver!  As it is, I’m relegated to using the bookmarklet (hootlet) to send tweets.  It also doesn’t track any clicks to links not created using the hootsuite hootlet.  So if you’ve got “Tweet this” buttons or some other twitter integration on your blog/site — there’s no way to track that activity.

Alas, the world of microblogging is still developing – HootSuite is definitely in a class by itself with a robust platform that’s user-friendly and FREE.
