So, I'm trying to find some complementary items to enhance my main ingredient, Twitter. I'm thinking a heavy helping of Hootsuite and a dash of Canva for flavor. Let's take a look at a couple of the goodies from the Test Kitchen pantry. That's just my themed out slang for the Internet.
As best as I can gather, Hootsuite will be our preferred social media management tool. I'm sure we can squeeze out some sweet analytics but probably not all options while we're on the no-pay plan. And hey, it's not just for Twitter. This tool can manage multiple accounts across a variety of social networks. Cutting through millions of posts and accounts simply by entering search terms is immediately possible without a learning curve. See below as I track down a previously prepared tweet within a few minutes of setting up an account.
Canva, on the other hand, is just a treat. This graphic design web-based app will provide you with zero analytics (as far as I know) and will definitely not sway your marketing department with any data-driven decision making but it sure is fun prettying up your communications. Kind of like curb appeal for posts. As they say on their site, "it makes design simple for everyone". See below, as I communicate my slow approach to this week's activities with a fitting visual aid.

Hootsuite is such a great tool! It is used by a lot by the guys on the 6th Floor in Bellamy (the FSU Emergency Management and Homeand Security program) when it comes to crowdsourced mapping during disasters, there are just so many functions to it! Hope you have a good time trying it out!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very interesting application of Hootsuite. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI love Canva! It has been a go-to tool for my team at work when we need to whip out quick social media graphics, but don't necessarily have time to involve the graphic design team. I've found it to be incredibly intuitive and really quite fun to play around with! Love the snail!
