<h3>HootSuite5 with HTML5</h3>
<p>HootSuite users will see significant changes to the social media dashboard today beginning with a completely refreshed <a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=5e2671fd1d&amp;e=3fc6dc956f">HTML5 user interface</a>, plus geo-located search, native Twitter ReTweets, and integrated Google Analytics.</p>
<p>With the recent announcement of <a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=855c935614&amp;e=3fc6dc956f">Google&#8217;s HTML5 site</a> and many other brands like <a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=6421987ca8&amp;e=3fc6dc956f">Apple</a> on-board, HootSuite has made a substantial investment in this new technology standard. HTML5 allows us to release unique features like geo-search and drag &amp; drop, plus improve performance with more responsive tabs and streams.</td>

<td valign="top">
<h3>Geo-Searchable</h3>
<p>Now, search for tweets by proximity based on geo-location information sent by some (not all) users. Using this HTML 5 powered feature, you can narrow down results to messages sent from your area, wherever you are. This feature will help you learn about local resources, get tips while traveling, and find new customers or followers.</p>
<p><a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=4215ee6f6f&amp;e=3fc6dc956f" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.hootsuite.com/newsletter/horned/geo.jpg" alt="Geo-Search in HootSuite 5" /></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top">
<h3>Analytics in Dashboard</h3>
<p>Google Analytics users no longer need to switch screens to analyze site traffic and performance because all the data is now available in HootSuite&#8217;s dashboard. Using OAuth secure login functionality, you can track conversion to sales, lead generation, or other metrics from your Google Analytics, using advanced URL functions.</p>
<p><a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=0a9f22bd50&amp;e=3fc6dc956f" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.hootsuite.com/newsletter/horned/analytics.jpg" alt="Analytics in dashboard" /></a></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td height="278" valign="top">
<h3>More Tools</h3>
<p>Other new tools to help broadcast messages, monitor conversations, and track results include:</p>
<p><a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=3a6f8eace7&amp;e=3fc6dc956f" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.hootsuite.com/newsletter/horned/themes.jpg" alt="Themes to choose in HootSuite" /></a></p>
<h5><strong>Interface Re-creation and Themes</strong></h5>
<p>The most noticeable change is a fully re-imagined dashboard, with more space for updates and an intuitive arrangement for HootSuite&#8217;s many features. Additionally, you can now choose a design theme which suits your tastes.</p>
<p>Options include the familiar green &amp; blue &#8220;<em>Classic</em>,&#8221; the sleek &amp; stunning &#8220;<em>Blue Steel</em>,&#8221; or the darkly cool &#8220;<em>Magnum</em>.&#8221; Which one will you choose? Switch at your leisure to find your favorite.</p>
<h5><strong>Facebook Media Preview</strong></h5>
<p>Include a photo when you upload a link to Facebook, and then add titles and descriptions to make your update more meaningful and inviting. BTW, this media preview functionality was one of the <a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=eddb99e9ed&amp;e=3fc6dc956f">most requested features</a> on the <a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=745cba87ad&amp;e=3fc6dc956f">Feedback Channel</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=4f3112ed93&amp;e=3fc6dc956f" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.hootsuite.com/newsletter/horned/retweet.jpg" alt="Native ReTweets now in HootSuite" /></a></p>
<h5><strong>New or Ol&#8217;school RTs</strong></h5>
<p>When Twitter launched, early users created shorthand to define actions and attributes, including @replies for addressing, #hashtags for context, and RT for Re-Tweeting or quoting a message which became a powerful way to spread messages beyond users&#8217; local networks.</p>
<p>To standardize the process, Twitter.com added an auto-Re-Tweet functionality, which HootSuite has now integrated. HootSuite users can choose whether to Re-Tweet with initials &#8220;RT&#8221; or to use the Twitter web native auto-Re-Tweet tool.</p>
<p>We can now check this one off the <a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=20c6f2801b&amp;e=3fc6dc956f">feature request list</a>.</p>
<h5><strong>Drag it, Drop it, Send it</strong></h5>
<p>Quickly attach an image or other file to your social update by dragging directly from the desktop and dropping into the message box &#8212; this simple act will auto-upload the file to Ow.ly file sharing and add a pre-shortened link to your message. Then you are ready to send your enhanced note to any of your social networks.</p>
<p><a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=6bde46e1b0&amp;e=3fc6dc956f" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.hootsuite.com/newsletter/horned/localize.jpg" alt="HootSuite Localized for Japanese" /></a></p>
<h5><strong>Language Localization</strong></h5>
<p><em>Konnichiwa!</em> This release also features interface localization in Japanese, allowing more users to enjoy HootSuite in their native language. More linguistic choices are coming soon, to spread the international enjoyment.</p>
<h5><strong>Keyboard Shortcuts</strong></h5>
<p>Clicking <strong>Shift+Enter</strong> on the keyboard now sends the update, saving mouse-clicks and time &#8212; another popular user-requested feature.</p>
<h5><strong>Handier Help</strong></h5>
<p>Listening and learning from HootSuite&#8217;s userbase is an important part of making decisions which meet the needs of social media marketers and enthusiasts. HootSuite offers assistance via a <a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=1fd0a4ca28&amp;e=3fc6dc956f">Help Desk</a> and and gathers opinions via a <a href="http://hootsuite.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7337cf4314b0041a7fdf6bd50&amp;id=f634ee196d&amp;e=3fc6dc956f">Feedback Channel</a>.</p>
<p>With the new release, these channels are easier to access directly right from the HootSuite dashboard. We invite you to share your ideas, and to enjoy a sense of pride when your requested feature is added to a future release.</td>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.geostring.com/?1043363"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://static.geostring.com/banners/250x250a.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a><strong> </strong> GeoString is an online marketing company. Their sponsors pay them to put their message in front their members like us. In turn, they pay ua for becoming an opt in member of our program. The advertising revenues from their sponsors make it possible to pay us for doing nothing more than creating a free account, referring others, and opening the once weekly email from the company.</p>
<p><strong>What is a &#8220;GeoString&#8221;?</strong><br />
A GeoString is simply a string of your contacts and their contacts all strung together to build an incredible cash generator for the length of the string. You&#8217;ll be amazed at how far your string reaches, both in numbers, and geographically!</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the catch?</strong><br />

<p><strong>By Bob Jenkins</strong><br />
Would you like to know how to get better results with social networking? Start with your profile.<br />
In a moment, you will learn 3 simple ways you can capture viewers attention, and magnetically attract clients and partners to your business with your profile.</p>
<p>But first, make sure you understand why this is so important to your success.<br />
<strong>Like Your Business Card, Your Profile Creates The First Impression</strong><br />
All social networking sites work on the premise of connecting people together who can mutually benefit. To help with this, the user profile is a standard feature. Your profile includes your username, your photo, and a very concise description of you (typically 40 words or less).</p>
<p>The information you put in your profile is going to turn people on to you or turn people off from you. You don’t want to make them say, “Ah, that’s not really somebody worth knowing”. So you need to make sure your profile is something you’re going to spend a lot of time tweaking.</p>
<p><strong>The better the profile is the more likely you will get people to be attracted to what you’re doing.</strong></p>
<p>Now let’s turn to the 3 steps to creating a powerful profile, and get you the results you are looking for.<br />
•	Use The Same, Brandable Username For All Social Networking Profiles<br />
•	Create An Action-Based Description In Your Profile<br />
•	Put Your Best Face Forward With The Profile Photo<br />
Brand Yourself With An Obvious Username</p>
<p>When you first create your accounts on social networks, you have to come up with a username. This is something you can’t change later within an account, so get it right the first time.<br />
Your username must have these characteristics:<br />
•	It’s obviously you<br />
•	It’s easy to spell<br />
•	It’s easy to remember</p>
<p>Your own name is the best username to have if it’s still available because it’s what people who know you already will search for. If your name is hard to spell or is too common, though, you’ll want to get a second account that fits the characteristics above.</p>
<p>For example, my friend Scott’s initial Twitter account was ScottTousignant which is not the easiest thing to spell. So he has started to use “thefitb” as his Twitter user name instead.</p>
<p>Same thing with Bob Jenkins. There are so many Bob Jenkinses out there that I came up with BobtheTeacher quite a long time ago for my username on a forum. In fact, it’s been so effective as a username, many people don’t know my real last name!</p>
<p>Whatever your name is just make sure that you’re branding yourself as that name. Don’t use some adjective that doesn’t really hone into what you’re really all about.</p>
<p>Use the same username for all of the social networking sites because some people will find you on Twitter or Facebook or MySpace, and they’ll say, “Well, I’m not really on one of those sites. I wonder if they have a Twitter account or a Facebook account.” If they then just go randomly over to that other site and type in your name and somebody else has it, then you have confused your audience.</p>
<p>In the social networking game, your username is your brand – so grab yours at all the sites you can, even if you simply point the profiles to your main marketing hub and never use the account again.<br />
<strong><br />
Create An Action-Based Description In Your Profile</strong><br />
Most people quit social networking sites because they feel they are a waste of time. This is usually due to a poor profile description that attracts the wrong people.</p>
<p>When people see your profile, they want to know what you can do for them. So tell them, very succinctly, what you provide.</p>
<p>This is not a popularity contest, but an opportunity to brand yourself as the expert you are in your specialty area so you attract potential clients and partners – not a bunch of friends who are going to spam you with chaim mail, jokes, and crappy YouTube videos.</p>
<p>So provide a short 1-2 sentence benefit-focused description of what you do for others. This is traditionally called your USP – unique selling position – or what separates you from the rest of the pack.<br />
You must also include a link to your marketing hub – your central location online. This should be your blog, but it can be any website you control and have a specific domain URL for. (If you don’t have a blog or website yet, then link all your profiles to the same Squidoo lensmaster page or profile page on your favorite social networking site until you get one.)</p>
<p>You need to make that link clickable so your visitors and new friends can go to your website when they want to find out more about you.</p>
<p>To do this, you need to type the full URL, such as <a href="http://discoversocialnetworking.com/profits/?lessons=4385" target="_blank">http://DiscoverSocialNetworking.com</a>. On most sites, simply typing DiscoverSocialNetworking.com will not create a clickable link.</p>
<p>After you create your profile, test the link to make sure it goes to the right page!</p>
<p><strong><br />
Put Your Best Face Forward With Your Profile Photo</strong><br />
To gain attention, trust, and referrals, you need to have a very good profile photo. A professional photo is always a good thing to have in business. But you don’t have to spend a hundred dollars for a half hour sitting or more right away. Keep in mind that social networking sites are not unlike a dating site. And fairly or unfairly, you will be judged by your picture.</p>
<p>Be sure your photo captures your energy shows off your personality. Typically a good profile photo is a head shot that shows you in a positive mood, and energized, looking directly at the viewer.</p>
<p>No matter what you look like, your charisma, personality, and energy are going to be what people are looking for. They’re not looking for a model. They’re looking for somebody who’s confident and who’s happy with their life. And even if you feel that’s a stretch for you to do, that’s the kind of picture that you want to try to have in your profile.<br />
<strong><br />
Improving Your Profile Will Improve Your Results</strong><br />
Implement the strategies you’ve just learned in the last few minutes and you will see improved results. And remember – unlike a business card you’re stuck with until you get rid of all 500 – you can change your profile at anytime.<br />
You want your visitors to feel like they must get to know you – and perhaps that they already do in some way.<br />
With a great username, clear mission statement linked to your blog, and an attractive photo, your profile will put you ahead of your competition in the social networking arena.</p>
