Hello readers,
In my last post I searched online and found some interesting tips for advertising events using twitter, but now that the event is underway our client will need the help of a social media management system in order to properly manage their events and social media platforms.
TweetDeck
TweetDeck
TweetDeck which was created by Twitter Inc. is social media management system created specifically and exclusively for Twitter. Like most twitter apps it allows the user to send and receive tweets, but TweetDeck also displays its content in a dashboard where the user can also manage and customize columns which can display a users timeline, costume timelines, notifications, mentions, direct messages, activity, lists, trends, favorites, search results, trending hashtags, custom hashtag searches, or all tweets by or to a single user. TweetDeck also allows users to manage multiple twitter accounts and has a feature which allows the user to make scheduled posts on those account. Overall TweetDeck is a great tool for any client looking to take their event management and social media management to the next level on their Twitter platform. However, TweetDeck does have a con that could sway some users away. TweetDeck does not support any other social media platforms. Although they did attempt to integrate Facebook updates into the dashboard in 2009, in May 2013 they removed this and does not seem to be returning any time soon. Clients who wish to manage more than one social media platform will then have to look else where. Perhaps they will look to HootSuite which is also a social media management system that, however, allows users to manage Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Myspace, WordPress, TrendSpottr, and Mixi accounts.

I wasn’t familiar with TweetDeck prior to this post. It sounds like a very helpful tool, particularly to companies. I feel like this would be really useful for my company in terms of keeping track of everything they put out there. I will probably end up putting this in my presentation. Great post!

Neat ! I have never heard of TweetDeck. TweetDeck seems to make it so much easier to manage a Twitter account. These apps are soon going to be doing all the work! I wish I had an app to remind me to post on my blog! Thanks for the new app.

As a new Twitter user, I think something like TweetDeck is a good idea in order to fully utilize twitter. I think TweetDeck is good for new users to learn the ropes of Twitter, and also good for more experienced users to get their Twitter page to reach its full potential.

Thanks for sharing! TweetDeck is definitely one of my favorites! However, I do agree with you on it only focusing on Twitter instead of all other social media sites.
