Oooweee am I excited about the new Hootsuite 5! I was originally a Tweetdeck gal because I liked that you could see more tweets in each column. But Hootsuite fixed that with their latest version.
When I started looking at it this morning I started to get very cranky. It looked like you had to use the New Twitter way of Re-tweeting. I don’t like the new way. I’m old school. You can’t edit it and the orignial tweeter doesn’t see these Hidden Retweets.
But there is a way to go back to the original way of retweeting and I talk about it in the video as well as show you a few other great new features. To change back to the old way of retweeting, click on the Owl in the upper left corner, then Settings, then Preferences and uncheck Use Twitter Web Retweets. Then you will be good to go!
I don’t go through all the changes – Hootsuite does a great job of doing that here. I also have my more comprehensive Hootsuite Tutorial that you can check out. Let me know what you think – Hootsuite or Tweetdeck?
Hey, GMM, How do I set up the analytics for my twitter accounts through hootsuite? Maybe it is not possible, just thought I’d ask. Thanks.
Hi Tim!
So sorry for the lateness in my reply – out of town (big Bunco match that I couldn’t get out of). Hootsuite has analytics built in and the fantastic thing is you can download the CSV file to do your own analysis if you want. All you do is, when you are in Hootsuite, click on the Owl and select Stats. Then you can drill down into the individual tweet stats (how many clicks, where the people are from who are clicking, etc) or get an overall date range. It’s a hoot (so to speak)!
Thanks!
Thanks for doing this, I don’t know how I forgot about this, but this is great. I am a huge hootsuite fan. I am actually getting ready to do a hootsuite video myself. It is the best kept secret on the web, so I hope to get the word out.
Thanks again.
