HootSuite or Tweetdeck? You decide....

As a PR Poppie we need to use social media daily, but with this comes many management applications such as HootSuite and Tweetdeck. BUT which one do you decide to use depends on the working ability, the look and of course the hear say of this application! So here goes which one do we prefer?

Tweetdeck:

  • Not Ipad compatible - well it wasn't on my Ipad at least?
  • You can only connect to your Facebook or Twitter - no more, no less! 
  • The social management features are quite limited.
  • I do like that I see everything popping up in the different columns though! That was a big plus in my books when I first stared using Tweetdeck.
  • It's user friendly, when I first started, I found my way around 'the place' quite well and they even friendly! 
HootSuite:
  • Has a colour scheme and a large management menu on the side too for easy viewing and fast access to your accounts.
  • HoutSuite is integrated with many social media applications such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and the list goes on! So for PR poppies we could use this to manage our social and business life! 
  • Has extra features - like the analytical report - haven't tried this and sounds a bit complicated but in the working world it's a plus! 
However one cannot say which one is better and which one to choose! BUT! if you are a student Tweetdeck is easier and faster to use, but when it comes to be being a big girl and a PR poppie maybe Hootsuite is a plus to get used to and try to master! 

I will admit, I'm not too clued up on either of these awesome applications, however what I have tried has worked well with me and seems easy enough to master, but maybe I am old fashioned and like to manage my own accounts or see things individually!
