Using awe.sm url shortener in Sendible
Posted by sendible in Uncategorized on May 16, 2012
You can now use awe.sm to create short urls in Sendible’s social media management platform. So let’s walk through configuring your profile to use awe.sm, and then you’ll see how it looks when creating a message.
Part A: Configuration
1. Login to Sendible and choose My Profile
2. If not already selected choose My Details and then scroll down to Url Shortening
3. From the Url Shortener dropdown list, select awe.sm
4. If you have an awe.sm Tool Key and API Key, enter those in the boxes provided. If not, then simply leave these blank
5. Hit Save
Part B: Sending a message (optional)
6. Now, when creating links in a message via the URL button, they will be shortened using awe.sm
That’s all there is to using awe.sm with Sendible.

Sendible vs Hootsuite
Posted by sendible in Social Media Management on March 22, 2012
One of the most common questions we get here at Sendible is “How does Sendible compare to HootSuite?” HootSuite is a great tool, but it does have limited capabilities for someone who really wants to dive deep into social media as well as online marketing or manage several clients. HootSuite is used primarily as a Twitter tool (although it does more than just Twitter), whereas Sendible is an all-around online marketing tool.
Sendible offers services that HootSuite does not including the ability to offer white label social media management and resell Sendible to your clients under your own brand. We also offer rebranding of your Facebook and Twitter posts so that they won’t say “via Sendible”. I have put together a list of the features and services that Sendible supports as well as those that HootSuite supports below.
