HootSuite Acquires Seesmic
HootSuite has acquired Seesmic, putting its management tools into the hands of even more social media business users. After years of friendly competition, HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes and Seesmic Founder Loïc Le Meur have agreed to a deal and a plan for the transition:
- HootSuite will continue to support Seesmic, while transitioning business users to HootSuite’s larger social media management toolset
- Consumer users of Seesmic are encouraged to explore new tools, apps and features available at Twitter.com
It is a logical step in the lifecycle of both companies, who have shared many similarities since they were founded four years ago. Seesmic is a cross-platform application that was founded in 2008 by super entrepreneur and blogger Loïc Le Meur. HootSuite’s acquisition of a major player is yet another milestone in the company’s recent hyper-growth. HootSuite focuses on the needs of power users, so Seesmic’s business and enterprise customers will further reinforce HootSuite’s position in the upper left quadrant of the Twitter Partner graph:

“I have always had a lot of respect for Seesmic’s CEO, Loïc Le Meur and the role Seesmic has played in advancing social business.” said HootSuite CEO, Ryan Holmes. “We are thrilled to welcome Seesmic’s users into the HootSuite family.”
“We’ve always been big fans of Ryan Holmes and the HootSuite team, since the days we were all pioneering the Social Media landscape. We’re thrilled today to announce that Seesmic is joining HootSuite, and we’re excited for our users: they are becoming part of the HootSuite family, and they will be able to continue to build their brand and social business,” said Seesmic CEO Loïc Le Meur.
HootSuite continues to develop more useful and intuitive tools for business and enterprise customers across all platforms and constantly evaluates new technologies and trends for inclusion in their social media management system. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this transaction, regardless of your social media dashboard choice. Leave us a comment.
