Its also important to point out that Hootsuite also has an in-built UTM tag/parameter builder so that tweet effectivness can be tracked as part of an integral campaign.

The stats behind Hootsuite are not quite as exact as we would like them as they also include clicks by search engine robots, therefore skewing the activity. By using this tool you can then check exactly how many visitors your website received via a particular tweet or a series of tweets.

For PR pro’s this is an excellent tool to allow you to view/track and measure conversions via any one particular tweet.

Check out my post which explains how it can be used: http://digimarketingconvo.blogspot.com/2010/02/hootsuites-new-advanced-link-tagging.html

Just a note about Hootsuite and the Hootlet functionality – with some versions of IE, you have to right click and save the Hootlet as a favorite, as opposed to dragging into your bookmark.

Keep up the informative blog posts, Gemma!

PS. Love the new video snippets you’ve introduced – great stuff.

I agree, the day Tweetdeck integrates the Hootsuite functionality I’ll be a happy lady (are you listening Tweetdeck?). Im off to read your post now.

But like you, I use a different Twitter client for my everyday management, in this case Seesmic. I wrote a blog on the TweetDeck v Seesmic v HootSuite debate last week, actually: http://tribalboogie.blogspot.com/2010/02/tweetdeck-v-seesmic-v-hootsuite-which.html.
A lot comes down to personal preference, but I can’t wait for the day when either Seesmic or TweetDeck integrate some of HootSuite’s additional functionality.
