I love Hootsuite and use it to post to different social networks, schedule tweets, save drafts for future uses, love Hootlet feature to tweet articles directly from the article website, check stats, etc. I have different people on different social networks with some overlap across networks so I don't mind posting same message across networks and anyhow people have so many friends and followers these days that your one tweet is likely to be lost in their stream so if you post it in multiple networks, multiple times it is ok, assuming you are posting things relevant to them. I use twitter to stay in touch with latest conversations around topics of my interests and expertise and communicate my original ideas out to the world, building my online reputation as a mindful marketer. The more people from Twitter go to my Blogs, the more I am building my reputation in those areas and the better my website fares on google so when my potential clients look for marketing consultants in amherst ma, my website comes up on top pages. And all this without any paid for advertising. To summarize, I am learning, sharing, participating, building my brand, and getting found easily, all because of Hootsuite.
