Wednesday Words: Tsu

Today's word talks about a relatively new social media platform that is slowly, but surely, gaining traction called Tsu.

Tsu is similar to Facebook in many ways in that after registering for the site, users may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, post status updates, post photos, receive notifications when others post updates or update their profiles, etc.  However, unlike Facebook, Tsu embraces users as a product then sells data to advertisers, sharing the profits with the users as compensation.

When I first saw Tsu, it was in a statement saying you can get paid to post on social media - which I suppose is true if you have the time and energy to create and post content to Tsu as well as other social media.  As mentioned above, you make your money off of Tsu by them sharing compensation they get from selling your data to advertisers.

Tsu is fairly easy to get into and set up. If you're interested in checking it out, visit www.tsu.co

Wednesday Words: SproutSocial

Sprout Social is a social media management program similar to HootSuite which allows social media teams to update, post, schedule, and respond via a number of social media platforms. Unlike HootSuite, there is no free account option available, so you must pay for Sprout Social.

Sprout Social has been gaining in use and I've heard more and more folks involved in Social Media Marketing talk about how Sprout Social helps them manage their social media branding and marketing better.

Sprout Social, Inc., was founded in April 2010 and the program launched in November 2011. As of November 2012, Sprout Social reported having more than 10,000 paying customers.

The unique feature of Sprout Social is that it features a unified “Smart Inbox” which contains all incoming messages from all linked up social media accounts, allowing for ease of use in replying. The platform works with Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn and Twitter.
