For this task I decided to install
the Hootsuite content management tool. I
setup my account and linked three social networks to the application; Facebook,
LinkedIn, and Twitter. I was really impressed with the tool. I will without doubt
use this tool from now on. One flaw for me was that the main Facebook newsfeed is
not available through the tool. I checked this issue online and the news feed page
was available in the past but is not supported by Hootsuite anymore. Here’s a link if you’d like to read more Hootsuite Support .
Instead, I removed my Facebook stream
and added a second LinkedIn stream which will be just as useful to me. I also setup
my account without allowing the application to access my Facebook messages for
personal security. I really like this tool and am grateful I was introduced to
it. I have found trying to keep up with
all my social network accounts difficult at times and time consuming which is
no longer an issue.
I've always wondered about Hootsuite. I set up Tweetdeck and it works reasonably well for me. Perhaps I'm not using my social media accounts as effectively as I should. Thanks for the tip about adding LinkedIn. I'll remember that when I get to Thing23!
