Manage Multiple Twitter Accounts

Hootsuite's best features are these: you can schedule tweets ahead of time, and you can manage multiple accounts. I love the pending tweets post so you can see what you've got scheduled, and what's coming up next. For professionals managing social media accounts, you can also have varying levels of access by account so that other people on the same team can view the same scheduled posts and approve/edit as necessary.

HootSuite for Twitter/Droid

I picked HootSuite because it helps me maintain multiple Twitter accounts (I have my own, food blog and my company's) and catches all the @replies seamlessly.

It works pretty well and I use the free version. I think they are a bit behind with Droid because every once in a while it won't work or won't upload a photo, but other than that, I use it multiple times everyday!

Great

While I tend to prefer the basic Twitter app, this app is definitely useful and customizable.

So far so good

I'm still playing around but it seems fairly easy to navigate.

This app, once 2.99 and now free, offers many features such as timed tweets and performance charts. A great app for the power tweeter!

Hoot! Hoot!

The OWLS are free today as per News that HootSuite app is being given for free. Right indeed. It's absolutely free. HootSuite is a Social Networking app. With the full version being given, you can manage unlimited Twitter accounts (limited to 3 accounts only for Lite version), update Facebook, Translate Twitter messages, update Foursquare account, add geo-location to messages, schedule messages to send in the future, share and store photo files, shorten URLs, create custom stream views for keyword monitoring and more. All these are great features. After giving a couple of swigs here's what I found out.

1. Refreshing the Tweets is a bit confusing. It will give you the number of new tweets that came in but it is not color coded. Meaning, if you tap a tweet from someone you follow, you would not know if the tweet is read or still unread (color coding or highlighting an unread tweet is a bit important especially if you're following a number of people).

2. Direct Message option is not given right away from people (tweeps) you follow. To direct message someone, you still need to click the "banner" of the person and click the Send DM button at the lower portion.

3. The Home page is kinda confusing. I initially set-up two accounts (Twitter & Foursqare). Under the "Twitter tab" you will find so many options, like home feed, mentions, direct messages (inbox), direct messages (outbox), favorite tweets, pending tweets and so on. Another tab is for my Foursqare which also gives different options such as Checkins, History and Pending Status Updates. As you add a "tab" for a certain social networking interface, it becomes more cluttered.

4. I just tried to send a long message right now which lead me to a conclusion that if you maximize the 140 characters given for twitting, it doesn't give an option to post the tweet using let's say "twitlonger." It cuts the message on the 140th character.

5. On the "Streams" page (sort of a home page where you would see all your tab), it doesn't give any "counter" to tell you if you have a new tweet or a direct message or mention. In comparison to TwitBird, the moment you launch the later app, it automatically refreshes and feeds all the new tweets that came in. So let's say that you got 3 direct messages. You will see the #3 beside direct messages right away. Whereas with HootSuite, you have to click each "submenu" to check if you got a direct tweet or someone "mentioned" your name in their tweets.

I'm still new to this app and will still navigate and play with it for the days to come. Good thing this came in free as I would not be happy to pay $2.99 for a full version. It's great in some aspect but lacks the kick that I'm looking for.

Must Have!

HootSuite is my favorite Twitter client besides Tweetie (desktop). I love it because it lets me manage multiple twitter accounts without getting overwhelmed AND I can schedule tweets for the future, which is a must!

HootSuite review

Overall, find the interface more user friendly than some other Twitter management apps. The one issue I find irksome and there very well may be way to address it is that if you have a large number of incoming tweets in small time frame it will only load a certain amount, then revert to older tweets.

Tweet!

With four nonprofit twitter streams to manage and a personal stream as well I was looking for something good and clean to use on my phone for twitter. Having tried a number of different apps I've definitely settled on HootSuite. Not only is the presentation clean and clear but the interface allows the tweeter to easily cycle through each different panel simply and without confusion.

Want to see who has tweeted about you? Direct messages or follow a hashtag at a conference? Not a problem with HootSuite. Thus far it's easily the cleanest look and feel to any twitter management tool I've found out there. For making my tweeting life a whole lot better (and prettier!) I'm definitely giving the HootSuite iPhone app 5 bars.

Social media stats to go

Hootsuite's strength is in numbers! Slicing & dicing the effectiveness of your social media penetration is where Hootsuite excels. However, in my opinion, Tweetie 2 owns the iPhone twitterspace! Is there room for wise competition? Sure! Hootsuite delivers a clean uncluttered GUI that lets you focus on the tweets at hand. Multiple Twitter account holders will appreciate the Zen of Hootsuite's toolset. But if you really want to power your numbers, you'll have to only use ow.ly to post links. Grab it while it's on sale!
