Pros

“I have been able to scan hashtags or see/like industry profiles quickly to help me pitch ideas to potential advertisers on what resonates with listeners.”
LV

Luis V.

“In my day to day work, I use twitter to update customers, answer their queries, and to keep track of discussion in the industry and this also makes me visible and responsive in the fast-paced engineering world.”
DM

David M.

Technical Support Engineer

“I particularly like the 'Community Notes' feature for crowd-sourced fact-checking and the integration of long-form video and 'Groks' AI capabilities, which have added more depth to the user experience”

Cons

“In addition to lacking team collaboration capabilities and preventing you from editing your posts after the brief time allotted, the algorithm occasionally displays the most bizarre posts.”
ET

Edward T.

Accountant

“The feed moves quickly, arguments pop up out of nowhere, and sometimes the algorithm shows you stuff you didn’t ask for.”
MW

Meegan W.

Educator

“Sometimes the amount of information can be overwhelming, affecting productivity in locating relevant interactions.”
TK

Tim K.

Founder

Cons

“With Hootsuite, LinkedIn doesn’t allow you to schedule PDF uploads, which is a shame.”
DM

Demi M.

Community Manager

“You also can only add business LinkedIn pages (I was unable to add personal accounts for clients).”
AB

Ali B.

Owner

“Can be hard to focus and scheduling posts in the application don't carry as much weight as in the mobile applications”
