I use Hootsuite regularly. It helps speed the sharing process to all of my social media accounts. What I enjoy most are the informative blogs I receive in my inbox from Hootsuite.

Most recently, they shared, “7 Ways to Hack-Proof Your Company’s Social Media.” The company highlighted was Burger King. They shared how their Twitter account was hacked. The perpetrators renamed it McDonald’s and the background image was replaced with Fish McBites. (I can sense a bit of smiling and giggling right now!) They went on to share a similar incident that happened with Jeep.

So… what can you do to keep your company’s social media safe?

HootSuite’s CEO Ryan Holmes provides this:

  • Get creative with passwords
  • Centralize social media channels
  • Put a buffer between you and the bad guys
  • Control who can post messages using limited permissions.

For each tip, he provides greater detail in his blog. You can read it in its entirety here.

If you aren’t using Hootsuite, why not give it a try. It will save you a lot of time when sharing your valuable content.

When you do, let me know what you think.
