Hootsuite launches conversation - Internal communications tool

Ive been a loyal Hootsuite user for a long time for managing Twitter and Facebook, both on PC and Mobile. Its pretty simple to use and faster. Not having a great look and feel but does the work.

I was delighted to check out their latest add-on "Hootsuite conversations". Being a heavy user of social media - I think this is a feature that can go a long way. Check out the feature from the video below



Primary need for this type of a feature is the need for internal communication in social media management(In a commercial level). Currently couple of social media management tools offer the same feature but charge a premium. Hope Hootsuite will be able to leverage on this need and add more commercial users. Ideal situation is if they can build on this concept and come up with a fully fledged social media tool.

What tool, Twitter client do you use? And please feel free to share your experience so that others will be able to find out the best twitter client on Mobile on PC.

For the first time i made a meme for a request. Here is it depicting the result of govt vehicle tax increase this year that jeopardized the vehicle market in Sri Lanka
