Manage Your Social Media
Social media has become an effective and low cost social media marketing tool for many companies that know how to leverage the social media streams. To be able to communicate, interact, streamline, automate and schedule social media streams they need professional tools to be able to effectively promote their services.

Use Social Media Sites to:
- Communication between team members that can be selected by yourself.
- Sending messages to groups of people. You can make your own groups and add people to them and send them targeted messages.
- Interaction with an audience you will specify. Can be as open or wide as you want.
- Promoting coupons and easy sharing between users.
- Launching prize games (word by mouth can go fast on Twitter)
- Sometimes even for asking question to important people that are normally hard to connect with.
Remember that every time someone Tweets about your message it can be picked up by other social media users and the story can go viral, meaning lots of attention! And as a bonus you will get a backlink to your site if users talk about your article, product, service or coupon page and link to that web page on your site.

In this article I want to compare the two most popular and widely used tools SocialOomph and its rival HootSuite.
