"Twitter Dashboard is a powerful tool to connect businesses with their fans, customers, and community."
-Schedule tweets
-Manage your business account
-Access tips and analytics
OMG! Great idea bringing analytics to us. I also appreciate there being access to the rest of Twitter to avoid jumping back and forth between apps. The one thing that threw me off a bit was the logo. When I first saw this app, I thought that it was from a third-party, not Twitter. I like it, but it's not recognizable as Twitter. Was that done on purpose? What is the logo supposed to convey?
Is this meant to replace the Twitter for iOS app? I don't like having to check notifications on both this and the Twitter app. Also, I notice that Dashboard doesn't catch some notifications. There seems to be a slight delay sometimes.
Excited to use this with my client's business Twitter account! Curious to know if there is a roadmap reporting feature to share analytics data with other parties?
This is my product of the month. This feels like the Tweetdeck for the common man, and I'm glad it provides me with my favorite features of Tweetdeck while giving me the same functionality and UX/UI experience I get from Twitter's mobile app.
Did a quick test and looks promising!
But I'd wish there would be either one of following options (or both):
a) ability to create multiple custom feeds
or
b) have a direct link to Twitter Lists on Dashboard
There are multiple threads I'm following and so far managed them with Twitter Lists. Which half-way solves daily reading as it's inconvenient to open up Lists (long navigation).
I was hoping – when reading about this Dashboard and custom feeds – this has made now easier, but it is still just one feed.
Anyway, it might be a little thing and I might be one of the few see benefit of multiple theme based feeds – still a good improvement! 👍
This is cool. However, having to keep setting the time for scheduled tweets over and over again is painful. If you have a lot of resource to dedicate to this great, however if like me you are solo doing anything and everything on your business, the task of setting the times again and again becomes very cumbersome and inefficient.
Set the time once and focus on scheduling tweets, that's where the focus should be on the tweet, not on the time.
Or it could just be me :)
Twitter seems to be doing well for businesses and social outreach. It's nice that when there's a problem I have with a product - most of the time I can reach the company just by sending out a tweet. Most times the response is quicker too.
Excited to see where this goes! I can see this replacing the time I spend on twitter.com (if not necessarily Tweetdeck, Buffer, Hootsuite, etc.)
Some comments:
I understand that the curated dashboard is probably supposed to eliminate the need for a search bar, but I would still like to be able to search. That's an important, basic functionality that seems to be missing. (Or, possibly, that I have failed to find.)
Also, seconding @inantweets's request for a second stream for interests. 🙃
And lastly (sorry to lay things on here), I'm experiencing a bug in the Notifications tab, where clicking the icons below the tweet—retweet, like, etc.—appears to execute the action without a) any visible reaction to indicate that it worked or b) giving me the option to confirm that I'd like to retweet or add on a comment.
Thanks!
For someone that doesn't update their social feeds nearly enough, but infrequently enough that they don't need Buffer or the cost of Hootsuite, this is perfect. Thanks for the share!
@ugumu you say that, but one thing that still makes Buffer attractive is that you can set the times once and only set the tweets. I hate, HATE, HATE having to keep setting the times again and again. :)
@ugumu doubt it. for people who have used buffer, it's just not a tool, it's a way of life. just started to use the twitter dashboard today but i think buffer is way way ahead.
@ugumu probably in the future, but the scheduler still needs more working on, like @freeman_faiz said twitter now only allows scheduling of tweets individually by time and not a fixed long-term schedule
@christopher_woo@freeman_faiz@rameshdot0 You are totally right guys! Buffer is a great product and every paid user seems to be happy to pay for it. I have no arguments that Buffer will be losing huge amount of customers. However, Dashboard would probably be the first choice of green fields. First, it is free. Secondly, it has an unfair advantage that it belongs to Twitter.
Ok, Dashboard lacks many must-have features for now and the team behind it probably has no plans to compete with Buffer etc. Though, I would not get it as good news for Buffer :)
