Big time-savers for managing social media, especially for small businesses, are these two ‘old’ favorites. I like them both, but I use TweetDeck the most.
I keep my social media networking simple, and since I used TweetDeck first, it’s the simplest to me. I can scan the posts, reply, retweet, comment, post to Twitter and have it simultaneously posted to LinkedIn or Facebook – pretty much all I need to do, without ever logging-in directly to the apps.
‘Course, same goes for HootSuite, and more, but, like I said, I started with TweetDeck; it’s my first love.
I can’t imagine going back to the time-drain of logging-in to the three biggees – Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter – separately. And why would I?!
Come to think of it, maybe this is the best answer for small business owners who want to be in social media but think they don’t have time or resources. Like the gas-powered mower, these apps are labor-saving devices.
