When you are following hundreds or thousands of people on Twitter, how the heck do you manage all those Tweets? There are certain folks you want to watch more closely than others and you want to keep tabs on what your clients and friends are saying too, right? The answer for me is Hootsuite. What I love best about this sweet little tool is that it’s web based and I can use it from any computer — my desktop when I’m in the office, my laptop or iPad when I’m on the move — and there is even an app. for my iPhone. Talk about staying connected! And that’s just the beginning. Hootsuite lets you personalize your view by organizing your Twitter stream into columns in which you can create groups for specific users, search terms, keywords – whatever you like. You can also create a column to keep track of when you are mentioned in a Tweet and direct messages that are sent to you. Other great features include the ability to manage multiple social networks (including Facebook, your fan page and LinkedIn), schedule your updates and Tweets, track link statistics and it integrates with Ping.fm. HootSuite offers both paid and free versions. So go check it out at www.hootsuite.com and see what you think.
