I have an HTC Droid Incredible and use it for business as well as personal use, texting, tweeting, Facebook interactions and so much more. The Droid is attached to my hip and set up in a way that if someone tweets me on Twitter I am able to respond to them faster than I would if I didn’t have my Droid.
You see I use Hootsuite, not only for myself but for keeping up with my clients accounts I monitor. People hire me to assist them in social media marketing while others simply have me maintain and monitor as well as control their Twitter accounts. I love social media, I love interacting and so being paid to do so is an awesome plus for me.
The only problem I have is that I am a mom of three, which means I need to make use of my time to the best for both business and family. Hootsuite helps me schedule out tweets and Facebook updates at one time, usually spend a few hours one day each week to set up the accounts of my clients and my own so that during the week I can simply interact through the Hootsuite App on my Droid.
This app has made my work life and family life more efficient, I am able to be a second away from my clients while still enjoying the time with my family.
What programs or apps do you use to make your marketing or networking be more beneficial and less time consuming?

I used Hootsuite once upon a time but then I got on the TweetDeck bandwagon. At some point TweetDeck started crashing. I found a Firefox plugin so I could use Twitter or FB regardless of the web page I’m on but wouldn’t it be nice if someone could develop a browser plugin that did both, let you tweet whatever from any webpage AND allow you to schedule your tweets?
BTW-I’m with you on mobile tweeting. I LOVE tweeting from my Droid. I’m use the regular Twitter app (which is SOOO much better after the latest update) and something called TwyDroid. It’s got some bonus features and FB integration which comes in handy.

Hey Brandy. I just got on the band wagon of having a smart phone, so I have also been utilizing the fact that I can now communicate on Twitter and Facebook via cellphone. I also use Tweetdeck and love it, but Hootsuite sounds awesome for the type of things that you need to do with handling multiple Twitter accounts. I will definitely check it out if I ever come to that place. Have a great weekend Brandy!
