VersuS

.. Now everyone has been wondering who goes back to the social media pitch holding the cup of being the most favorable people's option. Well, with the time I have used these platforms, I have identified a few similarities and differences between the two applications and my "BATTLE" begins below...

With layout,both TweetDeck and HootSuite have similar layouts. They use dashboards with separate columns for you to organize your streams, @mentions, messages, tracked hashtags and so on. You can add as many columns as you want to either platform and scroll from side to side to view all of them.



Now to look at them individually,Tweetdeck advantages are that TweetDeck will only connect to Twitter profiles, Facebook profiles or Facebook pages. You can connect an unlimited number of Twitter or Facebook accounts, but if you also want to update Google+, Tumblr, Foursquare, WordPress or anything else, you won’t be able to do it with TweetDeck. It allows photo tweeting,twitter interface and user feature.


However Hootsuite allows one to update profiles other than facebook and or twitter. HootSuite makes it very easy to peruse into your followers and the people you are following to see who the influencers are in your Twitter network. Hootsuite has its own advantages namely that it has the ability to schedule tweets, updates faster, provides robust statistics,allows for the incorporation of additional social networks and allows more multiple accounts to be controlled by multiple users.


But which one is best? I’ve used both, and while I wouldn’t say that one is better than the other, they both offer a variety of different options which are suitable according to your flair of social media pose.
