Hi @bentossell, I'd just like to add to what @Kirksfletcher just said:
The breadth of functionality and powerful features are a given for Swift Social. What sets Swift apart from competitors, is a low skill barrier to entry. As well as that, the ability to have your account managed for you is something that no other tool on the market offers and we'll be introducing this very soon.
We believe there are the 3 key criteria to make a successful social media management product:
1. Easy to use - A user-friendly product is key, as Swift is used by a diverse audience comprising of both marketers and less tech-savvy business owners.
2. Feature-rich - A rich feature set is important to compete and Swift goes toe-to-toe with the biggest tools in the market, whilst containing several features that are unique only to Swift.
3. Time-saving - We believe that our users should have as little or as much control as they want and the managed service allows users to save 100% of their time without compromising on results
Amongst the competition, we’re striving to keep Swift in the ‘sweet spot’ of meeting all 3 of the criteria requirements.
I like the sound of this a lot, particularly the curated follow/unfollow. Only question is, given some of Twitter's justified reluctance to have accounts spam follow people, is there a danger that this feature makes that too easy so they could actually block you out of their API? Noticed it happened to tweepi recently.
@craigcurchin@arnilochner@kirksfletcher@charlieirish I am using this tool for last one week now and I am totally in love with it. The best thing about this tool is automating scheduling of posts from desired RSS feeds on user decided timing intervals and then features like Hashtag insertion and replacements, frame creation. It also extracts images from posts before tweeting and hence make each of our tweets visually appealing. To find the best RSS feed , I use ctrlq.org/rss
I have previously used SocialPilot.co etc. but they didn't seem as effective as this one.
Some feedback:
1. Give some option to add other link- shortener tools like Bit.ly or Buff.ly. If all the links in my tweets goes through one source ie. http://swft.so which is not a link-shortener site but a twitter automation and management tools ,then it doesn't look good. I don't want my followers to know or think that I am using any tools.
2. Add one free plan too with limited functionality and accounts adding capability.
3. When we choose not to shorten the link through "swft.so" link shortener. It totally vanishes the link though it should only disable the shortening of the links. not kill the whole link.
Anyway, all the best for the great success of this tool :)
Cheers,
Nitesh Manav
@kirksfletcher : Thanks for the prompt response. Though point-2 for "free limited plan" was more individual-centric feedback as now I only have 9-10 days left for the trial period and I am really going to miss the future features of this tool. Don't think that I don't want to pay for it but the thing is that currently I don't have... to pay for it.... :) #EntrepreneursLife
Anyway, I will follow up with the updates through your blog and twitter handle.
