Things: TweetDeck, A True Time Saver

At first when I was trying to come up with an idea for this blog, I kept drawing a blank. I've been so swamped with work that I haven't had much time to focus on my own social media presence. However, while working it came to me, so hopefully you'll find this thing as useful as I do!

TweetDeck

As a social media marketer, I find that I'm constantly on Facebook and Twitter for work, however, I also have my own personal Twitter and Facebook account. I found that constantly logging on and off or opening up a number of tabs was growing old. With so many social media accounts, it was becoming time consuming, frustrating  and a little confusing. I took a social media marketing class in college and I vaguely remembered the TA giving a presentation on something called TweetDeck. I decided to check it out. 

I became hooked immediately. I've been using it for about two weeks now and it has proven to be a valuable tool. So what is TweetDeck? TweetDeck is a organizational device for all things social media related. One can put all their social media platforms all on one page. One can connect their Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Google Buzz accounts so that they are easily accessible and all in one place. TweetDeck splits each account into clearly labeled columns. You can also tweet and update your Facebook status directly from TweetDeck, making it so that you never have to open a separate tab again! Unfortunately, Google+ hasn't gotten in on the action yet, but I'm sure they will.

If you aren't really into social media, than this probably isn't for you, but if you are, I would definitely check it out!
