What tool can I use to manage my Social Media networks?

There are a variety of tools available, but the one that we've found the most success with so far is HootSuite (http://hootsuite.com). It's free to use unless you need to connect more than 5 social networks, or need to allow multiple users access to be able to post to your accounts.

With HootSuite, you can set up a dashboard through their website that's accessible then from any web browser. There are also iPhone and iPad apps. Once you have an account and have connected your networks, you can monitor activity on your networks in "streams." You can compose new posts and select one or more networks to post the entry to. The best part though, is that you can schedule one or more posts for the future. You can even upload a spreadsheet of messages to be scheduled in advance, leaving you free to go about your business while HootSuite makes sure your social media networks are consistently updated with comments and posts.
