If you're anything like me, by now you've probably got your fingers in all sorts of social media pies...LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook...Snapchat! And it can be tricky to keep track of them all, but there are some great tools out there to help you stay on top of your online social life.
Here are my top 5 totally FREE social media monitoring tools:
Tweetdeck... download it directly to your PC/Mac, iPad, phone. It helps you monitor your news feed, notifications, messages and general activity. You can quickly adjust your lists and your settings, as well as compose a tweet. A notification even pops up in the corner of your screen when you get a new tweet....VERY handy! However, it doesn't give you any reports – so if you're looking to not only keep track of your tweets but to analyse your activity then you'll need to use a reporting tool as well.
Twazzup... is another site really for Twitter beginners, keeping a track of your chosen company or keywords in real time. It lets you know the top influencers, as well as the top 10 related keywords.
Mention... is a great tool for tracking your mentions, especially when the user has not used a # or @ (or has used an incorrect @). You can set up multiple alerts for your keywords (you can even set up to 10 different languages), and hopefully, never miss a mention again. There are limitations to the free version of mention however, for example you can only set 10 alerts.
Klout... gives your social interaction skills a score. You are scored between 1-100 for your social influence – Barack Obama has a 99 Klout scoring! The homepage shows you top content stories, with the opportunity to keep on top of trends and share those stories with your fans and followers. As with all of these sites you can schedule your posts, but unlike the others, Klout allows you add Twitter, Facebook (including Facebook pages), Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn AND Foursquare – even some of the accounts you pay for aren't compatible with all of these networks.
Hootsuite... allows you to keep track of all of your news feeds in one place, quickly and easily. You can add multiple columns to view your messages/new followers/scheduled posts. You can also add multiple tabs, so you can allocate a tab for your company profiles and a separate tab for your personal profiles.....helping avoid any awkward mistakes!
