HootSuite Hits 3 Million Users

HootSuite Hits 3 Million Users:

Social Media has become so diverse, so multi-faceted that users the world over can’t seem to handle the space without some sort of tool. And when it comes to tools that work, few are as efficient as Hootsuite.

Launched a mere 3 years ago, the tool has grown to become one of the top social networking management tools online or on mobile platforms. The company recently announced the hitting of the 3 million user mark after one lucky new user from Brazil pushed the tool onto the threshold. The growth of Hootsuite to this mark is nothing less than spectacular for it was only in July 2011 that the tool hit its 2 millionth user.

In the intervening months Hootsuite added integration for Google+ pages, Facebook groups and both LinkedIn groups and pages. These moves obviously paid off well and today Hootsuite has over 3 million users to prove it. Hootsuite is seen by most as just another Twitter client, but it is far from that. In addition to handling and distributing tweets, Hootsuite allows management of accounts on several platforms including MySpace, Mixi, WordPress and Foursquare.

Users obviously vote with their memberships and today Hootsuite has people signing from every corner of the globe. One just wonders now if it will be acquired by any of the social media giants, and if so, what next for the services integrated into it. We’ll just have to watch the situation closely.
