HootSuite is Many Steps Beyond TweetDeck

Now that I’ve gotten TweetDeck down pat, along comes HootSuite! After some study, I was able to summarize it for my readers. In my opinion, it is much better than TweetDeck, because it is more organized and more like I think. I probably will continue to use TweetDeck too. I don’t know, but I wanted to summarize it for you.

Save your time and save your sanity. Continue managing all of your Twitter profiles through one client: HootSuite
