These two social networks are similar with regards to making it possible for users to send, update and receive notifications, share files on real time, schedule posts for future publications and other functions.

So what exactly makes these two social networks so unique fro one another? Let’s tap into Hootsuite.

Hootsuite is not a desktop application; it is an online one so it is not the same to use it for Firefox or for Chrome. This is simply because it doesn’t share the same browser extension.

Tweetdeck needs to be installed with Adobe Air Package this represent and independent program on the browser and the user is obligated to download a file to execute it. This does mean that because Hootsuite is a web application, which allow the user to execute from a tab on the internet browser, sign up on the official page and login every time they want to use it. This can be done by the user using their account on Google or yahoo for example.

How is this social network supported?

Tweetdeck and Hootsuite's network support is more or less the same. The different networks Hootsuite offers are Pingfm, WordPress and Mixi, whereas Tweetdeck includes Buzz.

The Messaging Process

On the Hootsuite Network you need to specify on every message to which account or several accounts you want to send the post. This however, does obligate you to make more clicks than the necessary ones and reduces productivity simply because it is slow. On Hootsuite the user must select the account from where you they would want to publish.

Tweetdeck only shows the text as you can read on Twitter, with the link but without the preview of the image as a miniature. Tweetdeck keeps you the users account active once it has been selected at all times.
