Show HN: Couch – Bring order to Social media Chaos

What are you guys doing that will give us a compelling reason to switch from Hootsuite?

Our team is only a handful of people but we've found Hootsuite really useful for making sure everyone has access to the same feeds and being able to see what we're all doing without stepping on each others' toes. It's also great that it lets us have one unified overview of all of our social networks (although its support for Facebook and G+ is nowhere near as good as for Twitter). If you guys can nail these two things, but actually make G+ and FB feel like they aren't just afterthoughts then we'd definitely be willing to give it a go!

We have Facebook in and working on G+ right now. The approach is completely different then Hootsuite where you have this kind of multicolumn dashboard instead we let you organise in single streams everything so that you have a proper unified timeline contextualized depending on your needs, we also extract people and all the media shared allowing you to search trough them. For twitter we also provide much more then just keyword search mentions and hashtag but we have a complete boolean filtering in realtime for the whole firehose that can nail down whatever you need filtering out the noise.

Looks really great!

I have some questions:

- Does it manage multiple Twitter Accounts?

- Can I use it with App.net? Identi.ca? What is supported?

- What will be the pricing, when beta is over?

- Do you have a roadmap?

- iOS/Android apps on the roadmap? Or just APIs?

Thanks!

Sure Multiple Twitter accounts are in together with whole firehose access filtrable by even complex booleans that normally just listeners tools like radian6 offers. Facebook also in there, together with Instagram, working on g+ and Linkedin and next will be firehose for tumblr, Wordpress, Disqus. We have a roadmap but we are focusing on the beta now to fine tune everything. Ios apps are also on the roadmap of course

Yes finally! But I want to see Behind the Scenes blogposts about the development! :O

meople.net is free and allows to view your streams of more than 10 social networks in one place. Even more: it doesn't require your email: all you have to do is login into your favorite networks.
