How many people utilize a social media management tool like HootSuite? What’s your favorite and why?

I just got certified with HootSuite and I was blown away by all of the bells and whistles it has. But I don’t like that it’s Twittercentric and doesn’t allow access to Google +…yet. Does anyone know of a management tool that allows G+ management?

@amyhallbiz I recently began using HootSuite and moved away from TweetDeck. I am a HootSuite Pro user and find it extremely easy to use and post from. Currently only HootSuite Enterprise users have access to Google+ integration but I am also anxiously awaiting the addition for Pro and Standard users! You can put in a request for Google+ integration at http://library.hootsuite.com/forms/google-plus-application-request/ as I have done. I am really hoping it happens soon! For right now I am primarily using Hootsuite for all the other postings (other than occasional retweets) and logging into Google+ pages outside of Hootsuite and updating.

Hootsuite is my all time favorite for twitter and faebook pages, although I agree they need to add Google+. G+ has an iPhone app but I don’t know of any dashboards that can manage it. You can add a Google+ tab to your Facebook page with Lujure (Lujure.com). If thing else, I hope this is helpful

@deairby I use Hootsuite regularly for general posting but in order to keep a personal touch I try to log in through the applications themselves at a later time in the day or every other day to repost, like, or comment on a related post or share something from a company/school in a related area that would benefit followers. This builds better relationships with those companies who tend to reciprocate while also providing additional information to our followers.

@amyhallbiz I too use HootSuite. I am an especially heavy user of the mobile app, which is the main reason that I use the service. The scheduling component is attractive to me when I do not want to retweet too many tweets at once. Also the scheduling works for sending out content to hit the different time zones, as I have followers all around the world. 

@amyhallbiz I think if you have multiple social media sources (like most people and businesses should) you absolutely need it. I use Hootsuite. I find it is the best and easiest. I only wish it had google plus as well.

@deairby  I only use HootSuite to schedule posts. I don’t watch my assets through HootSuite. I RSS feed posts from blogs with HootSuite. Posts that are links to other site article I schedule via the Hootlet.

@davidgadarian  I love how they are always innovating!!!
