- How familiar are you with the HootSuite platform?
It looks like we have quite the experienced group when it comes to HootSuite (whether we are using it currently or not).
@socialwebcafe A1 I use it pretty much every day. I love it! #SocialCafe #TBW— Pam (@PinkMama68) March 26, 2014 | We used @hootsuite quite a lot before but now that we work with @Vocus we've moved more of our social there #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop :) (@TheBlogWorkshop) March 26, 2014 |
- What features do you find to be most desirable on HootSuite?
Two of the great features of HootSuite are the ability to upload multiple tweets and the ability to schedule across multiple platforms. Multiple at its best!
A2 I actually like that you can upload & schedule tweets #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) March 26, 2014 | A2: How you can schedule posts on different social platforms! #SocialCafe— Blair Sydney Burney (@Blairseyy) March 26, 2014 |
- What drawbacks have you found with using the HootSuite platform?
Blair - sorry to hear that about the image issue. I’m glad to see, later in the chat, that you have found a solution with Buffer. Hopefully HootSuite solves the issue or gives instructions that are helpful in avoiding issues like this. And, yes, SproutSocial’s analytics are much better than HootSuite’s analytics, at least right now. Hope for the future?
A3: When I schedule my Tweets with an image attached, it will not show up on my Twitter page, but instead just a link. #TBW #SocialCafe— Blair Sydney Burney (@Blairseyy) March 26, 2014 | A3 - @Hootsuite's reporting is not very appealing << Comparatively @SproutSocial does an excellent job when it comes to this #socialcafe— True Film Production (@TrueFilmPro) March 26, 2014 |
- How has HootSuite helped streamline your social media strategy?
Just like we mentioned earlier, HootSuite really allows us to be productive, scheduling updates ahead of time and across platforms. That helps us to get more done in less time.
A4 - With Hootsuite, we've been able to schedule several updates ahead of time while still keeping up with live updates #socialcafe— True Film Production (@TrueFilmPro) March 26, 2014 | A4: With its easiness by scheduling posts across practically all social media platforms. It's a great time-saver. #SocialCafe— Blair Sydney Burney (@Blairseyy) March 26, 2014 |
Final Thoughts and Action Steps
It’s been great and thanks for joining us! We look forward to our future #SocialCafe chats with you all.
Well, my hour is up everyone. Thanks for a great chat and great insight! I will try to fix the image problem with #Buffer #TVW #SocialCafe— Blair Sydney Burney (@Blairseyy) March 26, 2014 | Sounds awesome! See you there!
