![]() ![]() You have 3 buttons: Reply, Retweet and Favorite. There’s no swipe menu like Tweetie 2, but the UI is really awesome. Unlike other services that frame webpages (Digg, Stumbleupon) ow.ly is very lightweight, doesn’t clutter a page and it’s cool (yeah I love the domain name).Īnyway, back to the timeline, if you want to “do something” with a tweet you have to tap on it and enter the single tweet view. For web addresses, the link gets framed into an ow.ly window which lets you tweet the link again, vote it, share on other social networks and see the users who first tweeted it. The ow.ly service allows users to shorten links, upload pictures and files. Speaking of which, url shortening is based on HootSuite’s ow.ly links, which are linked to the Stats feature (I’ll talk about it later) and offer a great service, way better than others I’ve tried. To post a new tweet you have to tap on the Compose button in the top right corner: there are some good features over here, like the possibility to attach a new picture, multi-accounts, tweet scheduling and url shortening. Mentions are excluded from the timeline, they go in their own column your tweets are yellow colored, nice touch. I guess you can’t beat Loren here, but it works nonetheless. It’s cool, but it’s not as polished and pixel perfect as Tweetie. You’ll immediately notice that HootSuite uses the same TableView thing of Tweetie 2: to refresh the timeline you just have to scroll to top and “release” your finger then a notify popup will overlay the timeline telling you how many new tweets you have. You can see which column you’re in with the little dots right above the bottom toolbar. To switch between columns you have to swipe horizontally the transition effect is pretty good too. Once you’ve created all your tabs and columns you can tap on the first column and start using Twitter. It’s a very good Twitter integration actually. ![]() And this is not good, but the HootSuite team promised they will come in a future update.Īnyway, if Twitter support is enough for you, you can keep on reading. ![]() ![]() This means no Facebook profiles or pages, no Linked.in, no Ping.fm. And here comes the biggest drawback of HootSuite mobile: there’s no support for social networks other thanTwitter by now. You can add Home Feed, Mentions, DM Outbox and Inbox, Sent Tweets, Pending, Favorites, a Twitter Search, a Group or a List. Inside a tab you can then create columns, which are just the same of. Today I’ll talk about HootSuite’s recently released iPhone application, priced at $1.99, which brings many features of to your mobile device, with a very good user interface. I’ve actually tested both CoTweet and HootSuite and guys, HootSuite is far better if you need to track your business on social profiles. They’re meant for people who need a powerful management tool for their social identities, providing features like support for contributors on the same account (long before Twitter decided to implement it by default) and email notifications. As you should probably know there are many webapps out there which claim to be the “ultimate solution for professionals” but let’s face it: there are only 2 great web applications out there, CoTweet and HootSuite. You manage your brand’s Twitter profile, you have a blog or a personal portfolio to promote, you’ve just set up a Facebook page (speaking of which, here’s MacStories Facebook page) and you need to post your updates to both these social networks. So you’re really serious about Social Media. ![]()
