I work for a small specialist engineering firm (we employ 6 or so people). Business development has seemingly never been needed as reputation is strong and it's within a niche field. However, currently things are looking a little different. The company has wanted to get a better handle on it's website and social media since I joined but TBH nobody has had the time (and perhaps the inclination); that's about to change as the construction industry slows down
.
We're not that interested in having every social media available but we're fairly keen on managing Wordpress (current website), LinkedIn (recently spruced but before that gathering dust) and likely twitter (hello world).
I thought there'd be an easy way to do this using RSS feeds but the more I look at it, things might be a bit messy (poorly formatted cross posts). Do UKB members have experience of how to manage this?
Hootsuite looks to be the Gucci option but I'm always keen for an OpenSource (/cheap) alternative.
