Hey there! Click to follow me! I send FREE content that includes the latest hints, tips, and "edutainment" research with videos, MP3's, and industry content You might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I am an avid fan of Twitter and have been using the Hootsuite Hootlet for quite some time to shorten my URL links and to afford the ability to track those links by clicks. At a glance you can see how many clicks a link has, country, top referrers etc. You also can use it to schedule tweets for later as well.

The latest update of Hootsuite is now 2.0 in BETA and this version knocks it out the PARK! They also have several "how-to" videos on their HootSuite YouTube Channel

I have a new favorite tool for Twitter use and with over 11,000 friends on the ColderICE profile I have been needing a good tool to group my followers. Finally a tool that works the way I work and does what I want it to do.

PROS:
Works inside the browser, no download required, tabbed window navigation, customizable search tabs, embedded results, statistics, monitoring tools.

CONS:
May be too much for a novice. If you want to repeat a post multiple times, it can be clunky to do that.

My overall rating is:
4.5 ICE Cubes (out of 5)
