(Nope, we’re not a referral partner, go ahead and click the link and we won’t be making any money if you sign up).
When you schedule updates you can include:
Hootsuite knows that this type of scheduling is especially powerful for agencies and marketing departments (like our Vancouver based social media agency, October 17 Media) managing complex campaigns.

Delicious Pinkberry goodness, live perfomance by the hot and upcoming band BONNIE DUNE, plus a fabulous crowd of people…it was the perfect swirl for an amazing experience!
Park Royal Village in West Vancouver was definitely the place to be yesterday evening, for the official launch of Pinkberry’s first Canadian location! October 17 Media did not miss this event, we were there!
Spotted: Cory Monteith from Glee!
Yes, the Glee star was there – rocking out on the drums! Bonnie Dune played six great songs and spent time greeting fans, taking photos, signing autographs and answering questions. There was love all around!
Even WE get a little tired of Facebook from time to time. Sheesh!
We thought we’d tell you about a really funky new social media site that is gaining speed super quickly and could be an amazing resource for businesses to show the world what they do! When the proof is in the pudding, it’s not hard to sell. Anyhow… it’s called Pinterest!
