The following are reasons I chose to use HootSuite as my primary Twitter management tool, and the ways I use it to help in my blogging. Your readers are essentially your customers, and since it is important for businesses to use social media as a listening tool to listen to their customers, so should bloggers use social media to listen to their readers.
