  1. Hi Douglas, thanks a lot for your list, it is really helpful to orientate in the wide spheres of social media 😉 But I miss quintly in the list. It is the former allfacebookstats. Today it’s the most professional tool. What`s great about it? You have more than 100 metrics to analyze Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and GooglePlus. And you are able to individualize your analysis so that it fits to your needs. It really helps to find out which of your marketing strategies are the most effective. You should give it a try.

  4. Hi,
    My personal favourite is Blog2Social. I personally believe that Blog2Social is one of the great social media cross-posting plugin as there are no server side installation process to be done. It allows the post author to advance directly to the posting dashboard of Blog2Social Word-press, in which pre filled posting texts are provided. After customizing the texts the author schedules the posts or publishes them without delay.
