Social Media management

Been looking for an easier way to manage all the social media channels, it gets pretty hard to keep track of what you have put where between, Linkedin, facebook profile and page, instagram, twitter and the website and i should be posting in Pinterest and snapchat as well...

I had been trying out Hootsuite, but it was buggie, didn't seem to accept that instagram would accept videos longer than 15 second and had a busy interface. I liked the fact that you could see all the comments and mentions in one place as I find that I miss some of those in the native interfaces of twitter and instagram.

This site has a good review of the latest tools out there so I will be giving Friends+me and Buffer a go shortly..

​Friends+me can't do Instagram which is a major pain! Also the app only shows posts that have been made through the app not all posts on your facebook page for instance. so if you did a post already using a photo directly to the facebook page you wouldn't know unless you remembered and might re-post the same thing via this app. I need something that I can check what I post to where, so its not looking like the right app for me.

Buffer is similar in that it is only an app interested in scheduling your next posts, no message management is included. You can manage FB pages and groups, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin and Pinterest. Not Tumblr though.

So from Tumblr you can post to Twitter (yet to be tested)
Instagram can post to FB (and Twitter, but Twitter doesn't take the photos just posts as a bland url link so not much good).

​Website can pull in FB and other posts, but I tend to use that as a bigger main post, so want to link out to draw people into the website rather than the other way round.
