HootSuite5 is Alive

Well, at least HootSuite5 has arrived!  I’m pretty happy with the new look and features, though I’ll have to use it for awhile to find out what my complaints are.  I always have complaints!

In general, however, the new user interface feels more logical to me.  There is less guessing as to where a particular feature might be located.  I’m going to find the better Facebook integration useful, and I like changing the theme.

Overall, the major reasons I like HootSuite remain.  It still provides an excellent way to organize tweets.  It’s not a separate app, so it doesn’t matter where I access my account, which is important since I use multiple machines (2 desktops and a notebook) for this, and it generally just works, an important feature which software designers often neglect.  (Including the folks at Twitter from time to time!)

Overall, I am very happy with HootSuite.
