Hootsuite enables me to help businesses manage their social networks effectively and I can honestly say it is one of the best tools I have ever used. After personally using it for 3 years now and having transitioned 15+ clients on to utilizing the one dashboard for much of their online efforts.

I became a Hootsuite Certified Professional in July 2010 you may have seen my badge to the right. Attached is the Hootsuite University course.

 

 

Hootsuite Pro benefits include

  • Optimize your audience engagement by creating search streams, scheduling messages and monitoring all of your social network profiles from one customizable web and mobile dashboard.

  • Collaborate – Invite clients and colleagues to participate in your social media management. Assign messages for follow up and share streams, helping you increase efficiency.

  • Analyze – Measure your efforts using over 40 social analytics modules to build and share custom reports. Or select from one of our premade templates for quick and easy reporting.

  • Secure – Share access with team members without compromising security. The team permission levels and advanced sharing options ensure you remain in control of your valuable social profiles and accounts.

I think Hootsuite is an amazing tool and really like the ethos of the company and what they are all about. Feel free to see my video to the right and also Mashable article here.

Messages via Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, WordPress, TumblR, (Google+ on enterprise at the moment but with 5,500+ requests for this feature I think we’re all hoping it won’t be long!) and looking to expand this list more.

Working on teams and improving analytics. Pinterest seems like a smart move.

I should have guessed that the Hootbus was influenced by Burningman. I’ve been 4 times before video’s here and get some Hussle from Burningman inspiration. You have to be a swiss knife of a person, hussle hussle @GaryVee would love this. Just reading the Lean Start up now and met Eric Ries a few weeks ago.
