How to Share Content with the Hootsuite Hootlet

Hootlet is a special plugin
that makes it easy

to share the content
you discover on the web

with the social accounts
you’ve connected into Hootsuite.

Once Hootlet is installed
you’ll see a small Owly logo

in the top right corner
of your browser.

Now, whenever you discover
a page or an article on the web

that’d you’d like to share,
just press the Hootlet.

From here you can schedule
or AutoSchedule your message,

add photos or other attachments,

and customize your post
just as you would

in the main compose box.

Here’s a special tip.

If you’re reading an article
and spot a quote you'd like to share,

just highlight the text, right click,
and share with Hootlet.

Hootlet can also be used
to discover social messaging

related to your Google web searches.

When you type a search into Google,
click the Hootlet tab

that appears to the right
of your search results.

You’ll see the most recent
Twitter results

that reference your search term.

Hootlet also helps you discover
social messaging from specific areas

or businesses
with Google Maps and Yelp.

When you type in a location, you'll see
an option for “Tweets Near Here."

This will open up
a search stream of tweets

that have been posted
near that location.

You can adjust
the proximity of the search

with the slider bar at the top.

These real-time search streams
can be easily added

to your Hootsuite dashboard
for later reference.

The Hootlet may be tiny,
but it has the power to help you

share and discover great content
from wherever you find it on the web.
