Excellent post Christine! I also don’t see why everyone has this love affair with TweetDeck…HootSuite 2.0 is clearly superior. Enjoyed learning about the Facebook/Twitter options. I do agree that I post things differently on both platforms but it’s good to know that the automation tools are there at our disposal should we need them!

Looking forward to your future posts!

@Paul–Thanks Paul! I used Tweetdeck for a while but it always seemed to be such a resource hog on my computer so I switched over to Seesmic Desktop. But now I love Hootsuite for many of the same things that Tweetdeck does–and I actually like how it’s web-based.

@Sarah–Hi Sarah, regarding your question–think of it this way: the people who see your tweet on Twitter aren’t necessarily going to be on Facebook as well at that time or LinkedIn, etc. I think it’s a balance. You don’t have to send every status update to all of your social networks all the time. I mix it up. I find that different groups of people see my messages in different places. I usually update Twitter more in one day than I do LinkedIn and Facebook so I send only certain updates to Facebook for example. Ping’s great for that because they allow you to group your status updates to include what networks you want.

@John–Agreed! I am surprised more people don’t use Hootsuite but I think it’s just that they aren’t aware of it. I’m trying to spread the word.

Tom–Thanks so much, I appreciate that! (And I like how you’ve called it “social media common sense”–I might need to start using that. )

Great Post.. I have been using Ping and Hootsuite for 6 mnths.

I couldn’t live without them!

Hootsuite is the first thing I tell people to get on if they want to use Twitter to it’s full advantage without taking hrs of your day to do so.

So true Paul, Christine is a wealth of knowledge. I’m a huge fan of Hootsuite but haven’t used Ping.fm much yet.

One question I have: I’ve been afraid of irritating followers/friends by posting the same thing in different places. Therefore, I tend to post different things in each place for variety (and to encourage them to follow me in all spots). What is your take on this? Do you find that fans get annoyed by repeat content in multiple places?
