Best Kept Secret: HootSuite

Nobody has any time for anything any more!  Most people would agree that social media can be a real “time-suck“, but I’ve found a great tool that’s FREE that can help: HOOTSUITE.

Today’s Bootstrapping Without Boots “Best Kept Secret” feature about HootSuite, is a social media dashboard that helps to manage multiple social media profiles like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, FourSquare, and MySpace. This video tutorial shows how to add a Twitter account to a HootSuite account and also how to add a Facebook Fan Page to the dashboard.

By the way, since we’re not spending any money this week, nothing is being subtracted from our remaining balance of $353.34.
