Hootsuite has been my favorite for awhile and it just keeps getting better.

I love that you can post to Facebook business pages as well as your profile page. The url shortener that has built in tracking is great to track link clicks. Scheduling tweets is really convenient as well.

Both Android and iphone apps import all of your tabs and settings.

You can organize tabs, accounts, key word feeds, etc. to make monitoring easy.

If you want to follow your competition (or your teenager and his friends:-) without them knowing, Hootsuite makes it easy.

On your twitter web account create a “private” list. List the people you want to monitor, but don’t follow them. Since the list is private, they don’t know you listed them. Then create a stream on Hootsuite for that private list. You too can be a super secret cyber stalker!

Thanks for posting, Len!

I still prefer TweetDeck. I like the layout. However, I do find I miss a lot of tweets and RT’s, which is annoying….

I’ll have to try Hootsuite. I like the idea of sending a blog post out to all these social network sites, but I personally am not fond of people who post their tweet to all these sites. I’d rather see my contacts/friends use each networking site to best advantage, rather than “one tweet fits all.”

I’m logging back into hootsuite as it’s been over 1/2 a year since I’ve played there. I’ve been a @cotweet sort of guy. Hootsuite didn’t quite have everything I wanted, but it looks much better today.
