35. Social Media Management Tools
Problem: With many of the third party social media sites, namely Facebook and Twitter, it
can be difficult to use them with an entire team. It’s also difficult to track everything.
Opportunity: Social CMS (content management software) technology tools make it easy to
engage, post content to many channels, and include many team members.
