Hootsuite's basic service is free, but it also offers premium monthly subscriptions for those who need to manage more than three social media accounts, or if you need more than one user to manage your social media accounts.Lead by the DAISY Consortium and the Book Industry Study Group evaluates the accessibility of new and popular reading apps available for the widest range of mobile and reading devices. Hootsuite is a social media client in addition to a Twitter client. From the same dashboard window, Hootsuite also manages your feeds and profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social networks. One of the best things about Hootsuite is that it can manage more than your Twitter timelines. This quick-view function allows you to see several tweet streams at once and interact with them in more powerful ways.Īs with most Twitter clients or dashboards, you can retweet, reply, direct message, follow, or unfollow from drop-down menus or icons alongside any tweet. Like TweetDeck, Hootsuite displays the tweets you subscribed to in columns or lists for quick viewing. Unlike TweetDeck, Hootsuite requires no software download because it is an internet-based Twitter client, which means it's accessible on all web browsers. Hootsuite is one of the top two free clients for managing Twitter. It works with most major mobile phone operating systems, too. TweetDeck requires a free software download. In the other columns, you can see tweet streams from the groups you set up, tweets containing hashtags you want to follow, and feeds from your other Twitter accounts. TweetDeck also lets you save keyword searches and view them in one of many column displays. TweetDeck lets you set up groups of people to follow, and it displays your tweet feeds or streams in rows of columns, so you can view several tweets at once. For this reason, many people prefer using an independent Twitter client such as TweetDeck as their main way to view tweets. The Twitter website and app display only one column of tweets, which makes for a slower reading experience. It was so popular that Twitter bought it in May 2011 and continues to develop it as a Twitter client. TweetDeck is one of the two most popular free programs for managing Twitter timelines.
