Get it done, "Hoot Suite"

Admittedly the only reason I even took up utilizing the HootSuite platform was because of Everyday Intellect. I was already maintaining the social media platforms for two different organizations and the countless profiles that I have on the Internet for some reason or another. Many of them I like enough to continue to utilize, post and interact with people on, but I just never got around to it and I just got tired of having to log into each and everyone of them to post content and update information.

When considering this challenge from that standpoint, this is very similar to the DashLane app that I spoke of in a previous post.  But this app is specifically for those social media individuals who post content across various platforms (i.e. Google plus Facebook LinkedIn twitter etc.) And will allow you to post content on multiple platforms within the touch of a few keystrokes.

The free platform allows you to post across five social media platforms, which in my case barely scratches the surface of all of the different places that I've left my digital fingerprint on. Plus I have fancied myself in the last year or two a up-and-coming social media maven so I needed someplace where I could really put multiple platforms on and post expediently and in multiple places, which is why this became a no-brainer very quickly.

Another feature that seems very useful (though I have not had a chance to use it) is a scheduling feature this will allow you to set up multiple posts for those really organized social media professionals that have an idea of what they want to say on which day, at which time and schedule those posts to shoot off at corresponding with that time line. Again I haven't had a chance to really use it but I thought it was very cool and as I get further into social media for the National GuideRight, Everyday Intellect, and First Church Hopewell's Social Media Ministry,  I will probably get more into that. Ironically enough the chairperson the Social Ministry members of First Church's social media ministry have also endorsed HootSuite,  which pushed it right back up in the forefront of my mind when I was already debating on whether or not to expand spend the money on the professional version.

As with most of these functions I have barely scratched the surface and it does much more than I've actually tasked it to do at this point...so as with everything else on this particular blog it's not necessarily an endorsement per se, just an overview of another piece of tech that I'm using on a regular basis, what it does and what I think of it.

Fairly cool.
