Crowdbooster

Crowdbooster is a social media tool that measures the success of your Facebook and Twitter posts. It provides graphs and tables to illustrate how much attention and feedback your posts are getting. With this information you can, figure out who your posts are influencing the most and interact with them. Crowdbooster will also track the long term progress of specific social media campaigns and provide recommendations for improving fan growth. This tool is only available for Facebook and Twitter but can be used to manage multiple accounts. The data collected with this tool can help businesses or individuals figure out how to reach a certain audience, what is working with their current audience, and when to send out new content.

Crowdbooster is an incredibly simple tool to use. After signing in, all you need to do is choose the account that you wish to work with and Crowdbooster will bring up all the statistics about the attention given to your page. For example, on Twitter, it will bring up a list of who re-tweets you the most, times when it will be best for you to post, tells you about influential people who have started following you, and much more. This data allows you to focus on people who frequently visit your page and interact with people who have a lot of influence on the site. There are 3 options when getting a Crowdbooster plan. The personal plan gives you the tool on 2 accounts with all the features for free. The professional plan gives you 10 accounts for $39 per month and the business plan gives you 30 accounts for $99 per month.

The strengths of Crowdbooster include simplicity, multiple features for providing statistics, and multiple features for helping you post content, such as a schedule that will post things for you at predesignated times. As for its weaknesses, there are very few. If you have multiple accounts to manage, then price can become an issue. Crowdbooster also only allows you to track Facebook and Twitter rather than a wide range of social networking sites and does not have a mobile application. However, the feedback section on their website addresses many of these problems as well as others, so it looks as though the company is improving the tool all the time. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tool for anyone looking to expand their influence through social networking.
