HootSuite, of my favourite social media dashboard and analytics tools has reportedly reached the 2 million user millstone this week.

Quite an accomplishment considering Invoke Media only released HootSuite in 2008 and in November 2010 the users were at 1 million.

We’ve talked about HootSuite quite a lot here at PhotoCreative365 and it’s growing popularity must be in part down to the HootSuite Super Social Analytics.

One of the newest features really makes the whole user experience that little bit better and that is the HootSuite Publisher.

Not only is it easier to schedule your tweets and Facebook post as we mentioned in Automating your life while you’re away but here’s also a comprehensive calendar view with drag-and-drop capabilities.

TweetDeck, now owned by Twitter, might still be the favourite dashboard of choice (Twitter Poll for Photographers) but we really think you should take a second look at what HootSuite has to offer.
