Getting Started with HootSuite
What is HootSuite?
HootSuite is a social media management system for individuals and businesses to monitor and interact through multiple social networks from a web-based dashboard.
Features
We can organize our dashboard by using “tab” and “stream.”
Like folders in our computer, tabs help separate and categorize our business and personal social networks and apps into unique spaces for easier viewing. Every stream inside your tab is self-contained. So we can monitor the Tweets, Facebook photos, and YouTube searches related to our Tab title.

HootSuite Mobile App allows us to monitor social medias through those devices.
HootSuite mobile is very useful at conferences
