Top 10 Tools to Manage your Social Networking Profiles Effectively and cross posting
Managing your social media campaign and account can be a tedious job, especially when there are plenty of sites from Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Stumbleupon and enough content to post on to these sites. Posting the same link or updating each sites can be time cosuming and a very ineffective way.
Social Channels and media works viral and 24X7. You need to be quick and active in order to reach to maximum people and say out loud your story or news, only then you will be recognized. Otherwise, you will be busy in updating information and your competitors will use the charms and will win the game.
Therefore, there are many tools which helps you manage your social networking profiles and social bookmarking profiles in a very effective and organized manner. Remember, these tools only helps in managing profiles, the actual cream is what you want to manage. If your story is not good, people will never follow you!
How to Manage your Social Accounts?
1. OnlyWire.com
Onlywire.com is another best service I have ever found for social sharing. This particular app support approximately 48 services like wordpress, facebook, twitter, linkedin, stumbleupon, digg, reddit etc. You can post directly from OnlyWire dashboard or you can choose to add an RSS feed which will directly post all your posting to these social channels as in when you update your social accounts. Another best service is wordpress plugin, onlywire also have an wordpress plugin, which make sure that whenever a new post is plublished it is updated on the social accounts which you have synchronized with. The service is free till 300 submissions. You can choose pro or enterprise version of the application, which let you do more submissions.
You can even sync your google analytics account to track the visitor you receive!!!

2. Hootsuite
My favourite, Hootsuite, organize your social networks with avatars, allowing you easily select the profile and site when you are about to post. It has a visually appealing dashboard and allow you to easily manage your facebook and twitter account. The application can be synchronized with your mobile devices, so that you do not have to worry about posting even when you are away for a break. Hootsuite offer free version of service; it allows to sync upto 5 social media channels with 2 RSS feeds with a 30 days of statistics history.
The other benefit about Hootsuite is analytics integration, Facebook Insight integration, Enhance Analysis reporting, unlimited social profile management which allows you to manage your social profile effectively.

3. Ping.fm
I have used ping.fm for quite a sometime and I am pretty impressed and happy with this app’s performance. Ping.fm is a free service that allows you to ping a message to any of your best social media profiles. With over 30+ social networking sites supported, this service has gain lot’s of popularity. This app will surely save lot of your time trying to post every single post to these social networking sites. Another good service is it automatically shortens the URLs for easier posting.
One thing, I found missing is analytics, like onlywire.com it doesn’t have analytics installed in it.

4. Shareoholic
Shareoholic is a add on for sharing available for Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 8, Safari, Opera, Flock and Songbird. It is currently the no. 1 browser tool for sharing your post. Shareoholic lets you share, spread and save interesting link via social networking profiles, like facebook, twitter, and other over 60 social networking sites which can be added quickly and easily. Some of the other features include real-time trending and customization. What I like most about Shareoholic is that you do not require social sharing button for any webpage that you want to share to your social account, as the add on is browser based. It is been awarded as Mozilla Foundation Grand Prize based on user experiences, innovation, technical correctness.

5. TweetDeck
Tweetdeck is a currently the best application which works with Twitter and provides you with advance statistics, trends, following, followers, etc with a very effective way to handle it. You can sync multiple twitter account and can plan your micro postings on it. You can also easily integrate Facebook, easy messaging, URL shortening with Tweetdeck. It can as desktop application which can be easily installed and is compatible with desktops, android, chrome, iPhone and ipad.
6. AtomKeep
AtomKeep provides an easy solution for managing various social accounts such as Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Yelp and much more in a single account. If you want to manage multiple career search website such as jobster, Monster etc. You get a ton of functionality in this user interface to navigate through.
7. FriendFeed
Friendfeed is one of the most popular social networking content aggregators. It’s a easy to use application that allows you to share content with your friends from various social networking sites, like facebook, twitter, flickr etc. Currently over 45+ social sites are supported by it. Friendfeed also easily integrates with blogs or websites and there are both private and public settings available.
8. FeedBlitz
FeedBlitz offers an easy way of submitting your feeds to email and instant messaging services, making it simple to blast your newsletters and updates to all sorts of contacts that you have in your IM or email. Apart from it, it also allows to manage your social networking profiles. The messaging services of Feedblitz also allows you to personalize your updates by sending them directly to the follower while posting to the social networking sites, giving an upper edge performance to your marketing campaign.

9. Sendible
A very convincing service for large companies which needs to maintain multiple accounts and has plenty of updates. Sendible allow you to manage and update your
blog, social media sites without leaving your personalized dashboard. It has many other features, which includes Social Media Monitoring, auto-responders, email responders, import, exports etc. There is a SMS Auto respond option too is available. However, I have never tried it! The dashboard is pretty simple to understand and is customizable as per the need of the user. So, operating this service is not a difficult job.

10. Dlvr.IT
While, there are plenty of application to manage your social profiles, from Facebook to reddit. I found Dlvr.IT an convicing application which make sure only three such services and manage them very effectively; Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter. It allows you to add your rss feed to the application and then decide when and what has to be posted on to your top two social networking sites. While it do not allow you to manage many social networking sites, like other application, it do allow you manage the best two social networking sites, Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter in a very effective and precise way. You can set up a scheduler too, which to me, makes more sense, as I will surely want my feeds to reach to the people when they up on these sites.
