I admit, I was rather bemused when LeAnn Suchy mentioned apps specifically made to manage social networking accounts. I thought, wow, you have to have a pretty huge online presence to need anything like that. I chose HootSuite simply because of the cute owl logo, and logged in with a decent amount of incredulity. Although like many of the apps I've tried, I'm not sure if I'll use it very often, or even at all after this semester, I can see how it could be useful.
One of my biggest challenges with using Twitter has been how overwhelming it can be. I resist following more people/organizations because my twitter feed just becomes filled up so quickly. With HootSuite, I was able to create lists, for example, I now have an Authors I follow on Twitter, and a Library-related twitter list. This will make it easier to find exactly what I'm looking for and perhaps even allow me to follow more people.
