Wrap-up
You may be wondering why you need so many apps to manage Facebook.
Think about the purpose of each app. If you tried doing all of those things on a mobile device from within one app, it would likely be very time-consuming (and frustrating to get some of them done).
Instead of trying to fit every feature into the same space, each app has its own space to work with.
Select the app for what you need to do in your Facebook marketing. Complete the task, and move onto the next app!
This way you can get more things done without getting distracted.
Besides the app mentioned to help you manage Facebook on your iPhone, are there any other apps you are using?
We would love for you to share them with us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or in the comments below.
Many of these I have but some are new, like Rooms. Sounds Interesting!
Rooms definitely has a lot of potential. We could see using that in addition to running a separate group. Maybe use rooms to bring together users on a specific topic to discuss it in more detail? What do you think @maggieholbik:disqus?
Yes my mind is swimming with uses for those rooms lol! So many exciting options opening up every day in the land of Social Media. 🙂
Ours is too @maggieholbik:disqus. Feel free to share some of the ideas you come up with – maybe we can help you build off them.
My favorite is the Facebook Groups app. It’s nicely organized and easy to navigate. I think once you spend some time with Rooms, you’ll find all sorts of uses for it.
