Company Tweet – Free app for Multiple users and one Twitter account [product update]

by Mark P. Filed under: Products

The two main wishes for Twitter are managing multiple clients and letting multiple users manage a single account. All while knowing who’s posted what and when, and to which account.

We’ve created a FREE Twitter client for Media Genius (our social media toolbox) that lets anybody manage multiple Twitter accounts with multiple users and keep track of everything. Every company needs accountability when they are saying anything in public so we’ve built “Company Tweet” to do just that.

After creating your account with Media Genius, setting up a workspace, and installing the “Company Tweet” application you can start to see its power.

Writing a Tweet in Media Genius

On a basic level you can use Twitter’s essential functions; posting tweets, seeing replies and seeing the stream of tweets. It becomes really useful once you’ve added other people into Media Genius. You can do this for your company or even your clients companies.

Twitter updates from people you follow

Any user will now have their name logged in Media Genius’s activity stream along with the message and the date and time. If you install “Company Tweet” into another workspace you can add another twitter account and manage that as well.

After installing into a clients’ workspaces you can give them access; giving you a centralised way to manage your clients’ Twitter usage…

There’s a lot of possibilities for anyone managing multiple Twitter accounts and multiple users.

Buy before you try [product update]

by Mark P. Filed under: Products

The payment process that we’ve implemented into Media Genius is really pretty clever; although there’s a simple problem that we’ve found by tracking user responses.  We are losing potential customers before they’ve had a proper play with the applications.

As soon as a user installs a paid application in Media Genius and they want the free trial, they have to put in their invoice and credit card details – FIRST. The problem with this is that most people won’t put in their credit card details online until they know exactly what it is that they’re getting…

So we’ve “fixed” it. In Media Genius now, a free trial has no barriers, no “buy before you try”. You install the app, play with it for as long as it states in its trial period and then if you want to continue using it, you need to enter your card details if you haven’t already (which you might have done when trialling a different app).

If you’re going to make a mistake, make it quickly, fess up and move on; which is probably a post all in its own.
