If you don't have a lot of time or expertise in custom tab creation, Pagemodo offers a quick and easy solution. Custom templates are great to manipulate to meet your individual needs.
TweetDeck is very useful in an industry that requires the gathering of news and sharing of one's own content. We use it on a daily basis to keep track of breaking stories and key trends to inform what content we produce. After this content is produced and published, we then push it on social using TweetDeck. While many things are posted immediately, we also schedule a lot of content throughout the day to ensure 24-hour coverage. The platform is remarkably suited to this job, more so than the native web client.
TweetDeck provides a detailed snapshot of your timeline and mentions in one view.
TweetDeck allows for scheduling across multiple accounts, and shows when each tweet is ready for publish.
TweetDeck allows you to customize the information you see for each account. If you don't want to see mentions but do want to see DMs for a certain account, you can do that.
For advanced users, it would have been nicer to have more custom HTML options. This area seemed to not interact so well once published.
It would be great to be able to manipulate templates more. For example changing the size of the photos and a drag drop feature to create your own custom template.
Muting in lists - I have several lists, but I am only allowed to mute in a home feed. I would like to mute things not just in home, but in lists as well.
I have no other complaints. I really love Tweetdeck.
I hoped Pagemodo would enable me (the non-coding Community Manager) to build and manage custom tabs without assistance from our Development team. Unfortunately, to build a beautiful custom tab that is consistent with your brand identity, you will need to use CSS. Additionally, I saw a number of tech bugs, most of which were never resolved (for example I would enter text into an allotted box, but it wouldn't appear on my page). Customer support provided no help.
As I previously mentioned, if TweetDeck were to increase some features and integrations, cleaned up its interface, and developed a tool to measure ROI, it would remain competitive with HootSuite and Hubspot. Altogether, it is an effective tool for the job of scheduling and monitoring your impact on Twitter, it falls behind other competitors that offer a more robust solution.
I think TweetDeck is very easy to use and set up. If you've used Twitter or X before, you will be able to easily understand how to use TweetDeck, as they base their UX/UI on the real platform. It has a similar look and feel, though you can do much more when logged into a single account on the platform.
TweetDeck tends to be available for use majority of the time...however, I've had times where it would get stuck in a loop and then post my Tweet multiple times.
TweetDeck is a great platform for using Twitter, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who continues to use the native client. Having both a web client and application means it can be used anywhere and on any computer, even if you are unable to install applications on your PC. For any news editor who needs to keep tabs on the latest news and promote your own content - TweetDeck is a must-have.
We found TweetDeck was simpler to use and easier to navigate for handling tweets than Hootsuite. While it did not have the broader ability to handle multiple social media platforms, unlike Hootsuite, its ability to give you great oversight of many Twitter/X accounts at once meant it was the ideal tool for that platform. Hootsuite, however, has deeper sophistication and opportunities for social media managers looking to handle everything in one place.
I've used Pagemodo to run various contests through Facebook and it has provided me with an easy way to really engage our followers. I've obtained over 300+ emails from our recent Halloween contest and have increased our Facebook "likes" by 15%.
As an intern it is much easier to get through social media posting and move on to other tasks with a scheduling tool like TweetDeck.
Although TweetDeck helps our small staff stay very active on social media, it is not an integral part of what we do on our site. Instead, it helps the team focus on creating content by cutting down time spent managing social media accounts.
