Today in Social Media and Collabortive Writing, I learned Chelsea and Kinsey, the two sisters behind the travel blog, Travelin' Chicks, use Hootsuite to maintain their social media presence. This September I started working for Bruce Perry, who is the Assistant Dean of Enrollment Management and Student Life, as a social media assistant. I manage the Twitter Page, @LifeAtSSU; Salem State's official Instagram account, @SalemState; and the Facebook Page, SSU Parents and Family. I use Hootsuite to maintain these channels. Hootsuite is essentially a dashboard that supports social network integrations for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, MySpace, WordPress, TrendSpottr, and Mixi. While I think Hootsuite is a great tool, I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't make money off social media as you do have to pay for the service.
I have never met Chelsea and Kinsey, but they do know of me as I happen to have a travel blog as well, though it is nowhere as big as theirs!
Right now, my goal is to tweet at least once a day. I want to build my channel. Today I was prolific and I gained a couple new followers.
