Spredfast: A company that offers Social Media Management

I'd say on average I spend between 15-30 minutes a day managing or just looking at my Face Book account, my favorite message board, Linkedin account, or my Blog.  I think this is way too much time, and I can't even begin to imagine how much time some people must spend if they are really into Twitter and location based networking on top of the others I listed.  I've realized that it just takes a lot of time to manage all your accounts and to keep them from being static.  I figured there must be some company that offers a social media management product that can streamline all your pages....



Thats when I stumbled accross Spredfast.  Spredfast is just what I was looking for, a company that will take care of all your social media platforms, and to streamline the communication that comes from it.  According to their website, "Spredfast is an enterprise-class solution that empowers your company or organization to communicate across all of your social media channels, measure the effectiveness of each conversation, and prove the value of social media." .  They also offer ways to assign adminstrators to each platform and to manage multiple product initiatives at once. 

I think this is a great idea that more companies should look at.  However, I do think that if all companies used a service like that, then perhaps they will not hire as many social media type workers, which doesn't help the job market.  Does anyone really see any cons to using a service like this if you owned business that has multiple social media platforms?

  1. Spredfast sounds like a pretty neat tool and I bet more companies will adapt to using this.
