Just a quite tip from someone that just did big circles with a product. I use hootsuite and then I thought I would listen to what everyone else was saying about this and that product. I was gullable and did it.
Anyway long story short, 1 month later I am back where I started. Back with hootsuite.
I tried tweetdeck, seesmic, all desktop applications with adobe, my computer worked well with all of them. Part of what I do is help people find solutions, this is what I learned.
If a solution says it can do something smarter, then use it.
If a solution will give you exactly what you already have, do not use it. It will waste your time, take off your focus and really I should of stayed with hootsuite.
Reasons I will stay with hootsuite:
(note, dont try and convince me otherwise, its pointless)
-It works
-I can log in on anything
-I can use it on other computers
-It is a low cost
-It shows my ROI with twitter & facebook
-Tracking is clear & precise
-Down time is less than twitter so you can use it when twitter is down
-Easy to follow everyone
-They keep with trends
-They improve the product constantly.
The first one is the most important everyone, if something works stick with it. If your happy with something and it does all that, keep with it.
I am not here to make you change your mind, I think there is absolutely no point to reinvent the wheel, its been done move on!

part of my learning on this come with hubze publishing some info on how api writers diminish publishing value. I am investigating this but still use hootsuite to answer in network and email and for twitter.
I use it, but not that impressed. Won’t use the paid version and about all I can see that’s _maybe_ better is tabs. But want, I got that with my browser already and use it the same.
No G+ yet either….
Thanks Stephen for your comment. I think if its only your own social media no real need to upgrade. When I have a few to manage I found it good then. I also like the import feature with blogs, nicely set out.
