Recommend some social media tools

Recommend some social media tools

The following are two social media tools that i find and recommend that the libraries could use. firstly   Monitter is a service that monitor Twitter and libraries do use Twitter,  in other word Monitter is comment use in libraries with Twitter. Second Buffer is use as a social posting scheduler for Facebook and Twitter, they are use in libraries, so you would find Buffer use in libraries.

Monitter

Monitter is the name of a free Twitter search tool that lets users monitor a set of keywords on twitter. It also allows you to narrow the search to a particular geographic location, allowing you to find out what’s going onin a particular part of the world.

 Monitter also is a service that monitors Twitter mentions in real-time in a multi-column interface reminiscent of TweetDeck. Simply input a search term into a column, add or remove columns as desired, and get an automatically-refreshing picture of what people are saying about your brand or competing brands in your space.

Buffer

Buffer is mainly a social posting scheduler for Facebook (profiles and pages), Twitter, 
LinkedIn (profiles and pages), Google+ and Pinterest. It;s a super easy to use tool, and 
includes detailed analytics so you know what’s working where, why and when. The best part is their browser extension that let’s you “buffer” and share any web page, photo, even a text excerpt. You’ll also see that you can use Buffer to share content right on this blog (see the Buffer icon up next to Twitter and Facebook).
