Five Reasons to Use TweetDeck to Manage Your Tweets
For starters, you might be wondering, “What is TweetDeck?” It’s a new tool for managing your Twitter account(s). I started using it a few weeks ago and it has really made managing my social media presence a lot easier. It allows me to manage all the information I gain from my followers, and then leverage it in my planning and marketing efforts. With TweetDeck, I can monitor conversations right from my desktop. The program even makes a cool little chirp sound when something happens.
So why should you download it? I’ve listed five reasons:
- Keep tabs of what people are saying on multiple accounts – What good is information if it’s outdated? I can monitor conversations as they’re happening and on multiple accounts simultaneously. Personally, I want to know if people are talking about me, and what they’re saying.
- With the New TweetDeck iPhone App, you can use this tool anywhere you go - …provided you have a signal. Now you’re free to Tweet efficiently and effectively all day long – talk about enabling an addiction!
- It’s on Adobe Air - Adobe Air is a really cool platform. The program is practically online, so it doesn’t matter what operating system you are using. This is the way of the future!
- You can segment your followers - This is huge! With TweetDeck, you can divide your followers into groups based on whatever characteristics you want. Segmentation allows you to separate your friends from your customers/prospects for easy viewing.
- Manage your Facebook too! – Now you can keep tabs on your Facebook account at the same time as you Twitter account(s).
I couldn’t be happier with this little tool, and I suspect that a lot of you would enjoy it as well. So give it a shot, and let us know what you think. If you’re already using it, please share some tips.
