Dean J- all great points. Since we wrote this post last summer, Hootsuite has also become a favorite tool in the office. It allows us to manage multiple Twitter accounts and to also track link clicks in the dashboard. Amanda is more of a Hootsuite pro, but I know that she now uses the dashboard to post to Facebook, LinkedIn, and more. They have a great mobile app too.

Hope the conference was great!

I’m a Seesmic user, which can be downloaded or run through the browser (and on all smart phones, of course). It nicely manages multiple profiles and user lists. The last time I checked, the user list piece was missing from quite a few Twitter clients. I don’t know why I picked it over TweetDeck…I think it was just a more attractive interface to me.

Ice Rocket and Social Mention are must haves for monitoring chatter about you online. Bit.ly is ideal for tracking click throughs (register for an account, don’t just use the shortening service).

Of course, my tools are limited to those that are free. If you have a budget (and often those of us who are Web 2.0 pioneers for our offices have to prove ROI before even small investments are made), there are some Maserati-esque products out there. One of the best is a shocking $30K to purchase, but it is used by some pretty huge companies because it does substantial tracking and research right in the home screen.

Can you tell I just got back from a conference?

Thank you so much for sharing about PeopleBrowser. I wasn’t previously aware of it and will now have to do some much needed research! Keep the great comments coming.

I think this is the best SM primer I’ve read. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

I use PeopleBrowsr for my time-saving technology. It has all the functionality of Tweetdeck but runs in a browser instead Adobe Air. It’s personal preference that I like better. It also integrates Facebook, LinkedIn, and Plaxo.
