I started using HootSuite because I didn't want an application on my desk top slowing down my processing - I know they don't slow it down by much, but it was still noticeable.

Now I use HootSuite 2.0 simply because it is a powerful tool that combines many of the functions that I was using two or more applications to do.

I also recommend HootSuite 2.0 to any business that has more than one person using the same Twitter account. You can give out a HootSuite login and never compromise the real Twitter password.

Mac, we fixed the typo, thanks.

I'm a sucker for Ajax, so I'll start using HootSuite today and see how it stacks up against TweetDeck and Seesmic Desktop. Creating Groups is genius and looks like a breeze. Thanks for the great primer, Chris!

I also am loving the new hootsuite. My favorite is being able to set a column for searches - and they are dependent on the account! Each account has its own tab and each tab can have its own set of columns! Really really digging that since I have multiple niche stores with corresponding niche twitter accounts. Now I can monitor their niche subject matters without having to change key words on Monittor (my other fav research twitter app). Very very cool!

FYI, your link to TweetDeck was to "TweedDeck", not the same site and application. Pls update so you're not sending readers to the link-farm parking site.

I got the email and tried it out. Since HootSuite has already gained my respect, I had no problem tweeting on their behalf. And 2.0 earned my respect. I'm excited mostly because it's not a separate program that eats up all my memory!

Chris, I agree with you. This is certainly a big improvement over the last Hootsuite. I really dig the embeddable search widget, and I think we'll be seeing it everywhere before long. I'm interested to see how their analytics engine stacks up to something like 'su.pr' (another great scheduled-tweet app). The other interesting feature I noticed in Hootsuite was the ability to have multiple people managing a Twitter account (kind of like Co-Tweet). And one last thing... the upgrade 'controversy' was a brilliant move. Especially now, before everyone is sick of stuff like that happening all the time.
