Top of the list and likely most famous. Hootsuite is venerated because it fulfills all that successful social media marketing is about: speed and efficiency. It automates and schedules posts. It gives you analytics and social media monitoring tools. It pulls in articles written by your team members and supports social network integrations for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, and many more. The Hootsuite App Directory helps you load to other places that include MailChimp, Reddit, Storify, Nexgate, Tumblr, and Marketo.

Postling allows small business users to publish on multiple networking sites through one centralized location. David Lifson, CEO of Postling built the company when he realized that many multi-posting sites, such as Ping.fm contained your truncated post that then led to their page not to your site. Your post was shortened, too.

Aside from posting to multiple systems, you can also use Dlvr.it to generate an RSS feed from many sources, which you can then use in places that support RSS import.

ifttt.com has become the hip site. It uses a sort of process logic that links "If this, then that" (ifttt). So, for instance, you can specify that if you post to LinkedIn, you want the site to automatically replicate that post to other specified sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, and so forth. The site has become popular for creating chains of so-called "recipes" where changes on any one website cause changes on another. It "cooks" about 20 million "recipes" a day.
