In an effort to enable its five million users more actively engage online with social media and to make the management of social media campaigns easier for the businesses, social media management system provider HootSuite, has expanded the scope of its App Directory. The company reportedly introduced a series of new social apps, namely reddit, StumbleUpon (News - Alert), Scoop.it, Nexalogy and CMP.LY. With the new additions, the App Directory now hosts a collection of 35 tools and applications.

 

In a news statement, the company said that the five new apps are made available to the company's five million Free, Pro, and Enterprise clients. Built by third-party developers, all these apps are designed to make exploring, creating, and supporting social media campaigns hassle-free. The new apps will enable the HootSuite users to explore new corners of the web, curate or publish the information they discover, and support social campaigns without leaving the HootSuite dashboard.

 

HootSuite's social media management system is used by the businesses to engage with audiences and analyze campaigns across multiple social networks from one secure, web-based dashboard.

 

reddit is an online community that displays news and content based on personal preference and what the community votes up as interesting. With reddit installed into HootSuite, it now allows you to explore the Web easily. The reddit app for HootSuite allows users to stream the hottest content from reddit, including the Subreddits they subscribe to, share content with their social networks and more.

 

StumbleUpon is the easiest way to discover new and interesting content from across the Web. And the StumbleUpon app for HootSuite allows users to discover new content by filtering for sites, topics, users and channels, view StumbleUpon pages in stream, and share StumbleUpon content to their social networks.

 

With Scoop.it, which has been designed to help easily create content for users, allowing them to take online content and create engaging web magazines, now coming to HootSuite, creating and publishing information have become easier. The Scoop.it app for HootSuite allows users to find more relevant and quality content that can be shared seamlessly to their social networks in HootSuite, curate content from Twitter (News - Alert) and Facebook streams to Scoop.it and more.

 

The integration of Nexalogy app will allow the HootSuite users to view interest maps to see ideas and connections in their social graph, view details on top concepts and hashtags on Twitter, and see top links related to their account or search term. Nexalogy helps users navigate the torrents of information online to find the streams of conversation relevant to them.

 

CMP.LY social media disclosure solutions allow users to mitigate risk, fulfill regulatory obligations (under the FTC, SEC (News - Alert), ASA, etc.) and reduce the overhead of social initiatives. The CMP.LY integration will allow the HootSuite users to create social media disclosures in stream, search for and preview their disclosures in dash, add disclosures to their social messages and more.

 

"Our newest wave of apps target the growing population of social business users. Consumer-centric platforms now matter more than ever in social business and millions already use networks such as reddit and StumbleUpon to navigate and curate the web. By integrating these platforms into our App Directory, we open up new ways of exploring external content from our dashboard while keeping teams collaborating and conversing around social within HootSuite," HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes explained in a statement.

 

Few months back, HootSuite welcomed mobile photo-sharing app Instagram, content sharing network SlideShare, document-focused app edocr, and engagement app Zuum into the popular, market-leading social media management dashboard.
