Using Hootsuite to post to multiple Social Media Sites

Hootsuite can act as a hub for all on one's social media accounts. This can also work really well for a company's for that matter.  Users can post content to multiple social networks at once and schedule ahead of time to post.

The free version allows you to post on up to three social media networks at once. At any time however, you get to choose which social networks are posting content.

For example, I linked my Facebook account, my LinkedIn, and my twitter to my LinkedIn.

In addition, you can track various aspects on Social media. For example, I created a stream that allows me to track anytime my username "AnnieP122" comes up on twitter. I do not have a large presence on Twitter, but here's an example of a post that appeared in my twitter stream for my username. 

What I am looking forward to most is the ability to schedule posts. Content can be created in advance and then scheduled to be posted in the future. This way you can schedule a post marking the 25th anniversary gala of an organization you work a month in advanced.  In addition you can schedule regular posts leading up and providing more information about the actual 24th anniversary gala creating buzz with limited work and need to constantly remember to post every few days. 

Here is my first Hootsuite post. I scheduled it to be posted at 11 am and to be posted to my Facebook and my twitter.
