I had to do
some research to understand what exactly social media aggregators were. In case
your like me and had no idea, I will define it for you. Social media
aggregation is the process of collecting content from multiple social network
services into one unified presentation. Information is pulled together into a
single location. People now-a-days have so many different social media
platforms that it is hard to keep track of them! I have 10 different social
media apps and it takes me a while to see what people are up to on each site.
An app that
many people are talking about that compiles your social media feeds onto one
site is Hootsuite. I just learned about this social media management system in
my class and it looks very helpful. You can view the streams of your Facebook,
Twitter, linkedIn, Forsquare, Google+ and many others on this platform. Not
only is this site useful for the average person that has many social media
sites but it also benefits major companies that have to keep track of all their
profiles and what is being said about their company. Also, you can communicate
with your team in a much easier way. You can have conversations on this site
and not have to go to a ton of different dashboards to talk to certain people.
In such a
fast paced world when people are constantly on the move it is nice to have an
app that saves so much time. You can use this website on your computer and it
is also available on android and iphone devices. I have recently gotten a
hootsuite and it does make life a lot easier. Another positive is that
hootsuite makes it easy to delegate. You can give certain tasks to certain
people and have someone responsible for posting particular things or responding
to comments on different sites. I highly recommend this website.
It's surprising to me that Hootsuite isn't more commonly used. It wasn't until that tools time the other day that I had even heard about it. Why keep your social media platforms separate when there are such great resources to consolidate them?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what it was either and thought it was really interesting that this was even a thing. I wonder how many people actually use these tools?
ReplyDeleteIm going to try this app out !!
