HootSuite Tutorial Video
Your blog is up and running and you’ve started promoting it on Twitter. Now you’re getting yourself a nice healthy sized group of followers and ready to move ahead. The next step for you is to move past using the (boring) Twitter website and expand your Twitter savvy. You need to find an easy-to-use Twitter client.
HootSuite is a free online Twitter application that you must try. Unlike the more widely used service TweetDeck, you don’t need to download any software and HootSuite automatically generates tracking statistics for the links you create with the built in ow.ly link shortener.
If you have an iPhone don’t worry, they have an app for that! HootSuite for iPhone is available. On the plugins page you’ll find extensions for Chrome and Firefox and you can grab a Hootlet too. Let me know what you think after you watch my screencast introduction to using HootSuite.
Have you tried using the HootSuite Twitter client yet? Are you following me on Twitter yet?

I have tried Tweet Deck in the past but have not tried HootSuite yet. Believe it or not, I still use the old boring Twitter interface.
I do find that hard to believe. HA! Come on over to HootSuite land you’ll never go back. Thanks for stopping by Dan.

I pop back and forth between HootSuite and Tweetdeck these days and the new updates on HootSuite are quite interesting

Hi Karen, Another reason I prefer HootSuite over TweekDeck is that HootSuite seems to update more frequently. There are so many features now, I’m realizing that I forgot to cover them all in the video. Looks like a part 2 might be in the works soon. Thanks for commenting.

Hi Ilene,
I’m glad I found your blog via Kiesha, because I want to learn more about podcasting. Looks like you’re an answer to my prayers.
I just switched to Hootsuite and I found your Tutorial very helpful. I think I will like Hootsuite a lot better than Tweetdeck. I didn’t know how the stats button worked, but you explained it perfectly.
Take care!

Have You Tried Hootsuite Yet?…
This post include a screencast tutorial of Hootsuite the most powerful Twitter client available today….
Jan Geronimo first twisted my arm into using Hootsuite. I was feeling cranky at the time and kind of burnt out on trying all the new “stuff” out there. I had a few cups of coffee, reminded myself that Jan had never led me astray (well, “never” might be too strong a word), and tried Hootsuite. Now I can’t imagine Twitter without it. When I log into the regular Twitter interface, it seems simplistic and naked.
