All Your Social Media in One Place

As some might have noticed, as busyness goes up, the number of blog posts go down. So, this is another concentrated effort to keep up on posting :)

During the month of October, I presented at the Idaho Library Association conference. I talked about how I use social media, and one of the things that kept coming up was Hootsuite. So, I figured I'd mention it to you guys as well. 

Hootsuite is what many people call a dashboard. Basically that means you can sign your different social media networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) into the dashboard (Hootsuite), and then control all of them from the one dashboard. So instead of signing into a million different places, you can just sign into one. 

You can write up a single post and send it out to multiple networks, you can schedule when you want a certain post to go out (like write it beforehand and tell Hootsuite when to post it), and you can also see what is happeneing on your networks from inside Hootsuite. 

The only downside I've found is that some networks, like Blogger, aren't recognized. But, for the many that it does recognize, it can be super helpful and time saving.
