#HootTip: How to Create a #Facebook Comment Stream in #HootSuite

Social media has given users the ability to browse through posts and messages in real-time and engage immediately. For those who use Facebook to interact with friends, fans, and clients, monitoring and engaging in the conversation that comes after a post is key. To help get you acquainted with the Dashboard’s functionality, or just give you a refresher, we have a new #HootTip all about a handy HootSuite feature.

Creating a Comment Stream

In one of our most recent updates, we added a flock of features that enhance the Facebook functionality within HootSuite. With the ability to monitor comments, likes, and posts from the Dashboard, it’s easy to see how using Facebook in HootSuite can work for you.

Here’s How

1. If you don’t have one set up already, create a new tab for your Facebook profile, page, or group.
2. Go to your Facebook tab and find a post that you would like to monitor.
3. Once you select the post, hover over the upper right corner and click the down arrow.

1. A drop-down menu will appear, click the “Create Comment Stream”.
2. This will create a separate stream in your tab that lists the comments and likes for the selected post.

Like many updates, we’ve added these handy features based on your helpful feedback. What’s your next idea? Also, keep an eye out for a new #HootTip each week – they’re short, sweet and re-Tweetable so you can share your HootSuite expertise with your friends and followers. Some lucky RTers may just find themselves with a #HootKit… It’s our way of saying “thanks for spreading the word.”

   Hi, the link to “one of our most recent updates” is dead.

   Btw, is it possible to display only the stream (“news feed”) of our page OR any unique page?
   Thx.

     We have a mobile version of the HootSuite app but should work to show more content on mobile. Thanks for your feedback.

   Will this only work with our main page or can we also use the comment stream on our fb subpages?

   Will Hootsuite take over the main features of Ping.fm now that they are no longer supported?

     Hi Chris,
     I’m not too sure what you mean here. Could you clarify?
