Hootsuite – Makes handling multiple Twitter accounts easy
When it comes to Twitter Applications (Twitter, Facebook, WordPress) there are unlimited applications and being a regular Twitter user I will never ask you to stick to one single twitter client.
I recently ( 4 months back) started using hootsuite which is a web client for twitter and it’s free. I have multiple Twitter, Facebook, WordPress profiles . One for my personal profile and others are education related. Hootsuite has everything. Here are some of the notable features of Hootsuite which will make you want to use it right away :
Manage multiple Twitter & Facebook profiles
Hootsuite will let you manage multiple Twitter and Facebook profiles. It has tabbed system which can be used to quickly switch between multiple profile with one click. You can monitor @replies @Dm with one click. You can also reply from specific mentioned twitter profile and the best part is nothing is confusing. It will let you add other accounts like WordPress, Myspace, LinkedIn, PingFM, and Foursquare.
Auto tweet your Latest blog post
Autotweeting is one of the best feature of Hootsuite. It will automatically tweet your blog post with latest updated post via your feeds. All you need to do is add your feed address and select the profile from which you want to autotweet.
Scheduling your Tweet
Tweet and Status Updates scheduling is very important feature which every one should use. Tweeting post helps in driving lots of traffic. You can schedule event reminders, links, and blog post on a schedule without needing to be available. This is a nice feature for spreading out postings over the entire day, instead of posting everything at once.
Single tweet from Multiple Profile
Hootsuite also let you tweet or update the same link from multiple Twitter and Facebook profiles at one go. This is very helpful in case if you planning to make a link viral. Provided people follow your tweeted links on all the profile.
iPhone Application for Hootsuite
Two versions of the iPhone app is available from Hootsuite. One is free but is limited to 3 profiles (Hootsuite Lite) while Hootsuite is well worth the $2.99 app let’s you support even more Twitter and Facebook profiles. This is excellent to do live tweets from events, on the go, pictures from your iPhone and to edit scheduled tweets.

Great job! I LOVE me some HootSuite! I just scheduled all of my tweets to remind members of the professional Association that I belong to (TSAE) to RSVP for my presentation on Google Analytics on August 25th! What a time saver! We’ll definitely be using this more often for FACC Events and Convention!
