SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO

 

 

Both TweetDeck and HootSuite have similar layouts. They use dashboards with separate columns for you to organize your streams, @mentions, messages, tracked hashtags. You can add as many columns as you want to either platform and scroll from side to side to view all of them.

 TweetDeck will only connect to Twitter profiles, Facebook profiles or Facebook pages. That’s it. It used to include other social networks, but those were taken away after Twitter acquired it and updated it. You can connect an unlimited number of Twitter or Facebook accounts, but if you also want to update Google+, Tumblr, Foursquare, WordPress or anything else, you won’t be able to do it with TweetDeck.

TweetDeck: If you press the little tool icon in the upper right corner of your dashboard and click “Settings,” you’ll see all the extra things you can do with TweetDeck. It’s definitely quite limited. You can add or remove accounts, choose your link shortener or picture sharing platform, and create filters to help clean up your stream from unwanted topics.
