Twitter Shuts Down TwatterKeeper
The much-adored social media management platform HootSuite made clear how it intends to make money yesterday when it announced that the service is moving to a freemium model. The company says that 95% of its current user base can likely continue to use the basic free account, but many small and medium-sized businesses and organizations will need to upgrade to one of four pro accounts ($5-100 per month) to continue using some of their favorite features like multiple team members and the ability to manage more than five social networks. Other perks of the pro accounts include an ad-free UI, prioritized support response time, enhanced stats (including Google Analytics integration) and vanity short URLs.
