Hootsuite: Making Twitter a Sane Experience One Tweet at a Time

I avoided Twitter for a long, long time. Then my job required me to obtain a company account. Slightly perturbed, I entered the tweeting world determined not to get seduced.

Whoops.

Guess it was inevitable, huh? Though I now tweet happily for both my company (@GardenStateKoi) and for myself (@CandEDesigns), I would certainly not be able to do it without my new-found friend, HootSuite:

HootSuite enables me to do everything I need to, quickly:

Shrink links? One button.

Schedule tweets in advance? Two steps.

See/edit/send direct messages, scheduled tweets, mentions, and home feed at a glance on one screen? Got it.

Automatically search for and track certain key words? Yup.

Click-through rates and statistics on my tweeted links? Got it, referral and country stats included.

Manage multiple usernames under one account? Yes, they are just a tab away from each other.

Best part of all? It's free.

And of course, my newly acquired re-tweet button on every blog post is just the icing on the cake. :) Thanks to SolidBlogger.com for the code!
