Yatter - The only way to manage social media collaborations

Yatter is an app that takes a community based approach to scheduling social media. Users can schedule interaction, share media and chat with one other.

This helps you save time managing social media.

Yatter is free for charities and good causes. To tie in with our launch on Product Hunt we're offering lifetime access to the platform for $79.99.

What features are you looking forward to implementing in the next 6-12 months? How do you cope with Social Channels changing all the time?
Richard Norman
@alan_fair We really want to be able to post to Instagram. Facebook have only opened up this feature recently to select partners and, as a LEAN startup based in Scotland, that has obviously been a difficulty for us. Paid boosting would also be hugely beneficial to our users. Many of the rules around the social channels seem to change in relation to the political climate. It has certainly been a wild ride.

Hi @richard_norman, I was trying to find a chat button to talk with you guys about the sale of the product itself, and i dont see one anywhere, which is concerning from an app sales stand point. Also, when investing in a product, I would like to see in what direction they are taking their platform. Ex: are there plans to include Linkedin pages, Pinterest, Instagram, Instagram Business, Tumblr, Google +, Google My Business, etc etc ... with team members, can i segment them, so a certain team members only have access to only the social networks i want them to see PRIOR to inviting them to my Yatter account?
Richard Norman
@brucekraftjr to chat in the app the button is at the top right next to the settings menu. If you mean a sales chat button on our marketing site then we have not done that. Thanks for the advice. As for roadmap. We do LinkedIn pages already. Instagram and Pinterest are very much on our list (if API is available). Quite a few people have asked for Google+. No-one has asked for Tumblr. You can already setup a new user within your organisation. Yatter is designed to be used by a team.

@richard_norman with my team members, can i have certain teammates only work on certain social profiles? Yeah i would normally ask this in sales chat support, but there is none. yes that is what i was looking for.
Bruce Kraft Jr.
@richard_norman ah yes, your UI only showed Linkedin Profile, so i didnt think Pages would be possible until you told me. Thank you. Yes Google + helps with seo, especially with blog posts. Speaking of blogs, will medium be introduced as well?
Richard Norman
@brucekraftjr yes you can have certain members only able to access certain profiles.
Richard Norman
@brucekraftjr medium we have not looked at. The one we would start longer form content with would be Wordpress.

Yatter has been a very useful tool for my organisation. It has allowed us to grow our online presence as well as expand our community and contacts. Having previously used similar products I would gladly recommend Yatter as we have experienced better results from a platform that is much easier to use.

Pros:

Superb tool. Excellent support from a highly skilled team. Great for forward planning and collaboration.

Cons:

Couple of early bugs but all quickly rectified by the Yatter team.

James Shoemark

The guys are really motivated to build something to help us and are really talented so I am sure this will do really well.

Pros:

The main premise of collabourating with others to increase impact and virality is a no brainer. Nobody else has bult a platform to do this

Cons:

I need to get my social media team using it

Kirsty Brennan

Simple but effective idea!

Pros:

Easy to use and great support available

Cons:

Had an issue with cover images but was quickly resolved

Glasgow Shop

I thought I'd read the reviews before signing up. I noticed some patterns in their Facebook reviews… No reviews for months at a time and then 4 reviews on the same day… all within 35 minutes. So I did a little research.

Upcoming page had around 30,000 subscribers - yet the neighbouring pages all had between 50 and 200 subscribers, why is their number so high?

The fake reviews make me question what other grey practices they’re using, I'd consider sticking with a reputable name such as Buffer, Hootsuite, Social Pilot or any of the other established products that do the same thing in a saturated social media market.

I’m keeping my API keys away from these guys.

How long before they start using customers social media accounts for their own gains?

Pros:

If the user reviews on here are real, they look promising.

Cons:

Grey area business practices are off putting.

Ashley Ashbee
There are loads of factors that can contribute to an influx of reviews, including marketing and networking. That alone shouldn't make you suspicious. You can't engage with content before it's live on Buffer or Hootsuite. It's not the same type of product at all.
Ashley Ashbee

I've been looking for a tool like this for a while. I feel so ahead of the game and extra strategic because I can time things like Retweeting something without having to drop everything to do it when the time is right.

Pros:

Great way to schedule my content marketing and reduce disruptions for time sensitive engagements.

Cons:

Navigating through the site is a bit difficult.

I was one of the earlier adopters of Yatter Social. I liked how it felt and the fresh approach to social scheduling it offered. I am encouraging my clients to check it out and get on board.

Having a tool the make social scheduling easier is a gift to people that work in my space.

No not MySpace but if Viant Technology wanted to do something worth while with the "Great Grandfather" of Social Media they would be wise to take some tips from Richard and his team at Yatter Social.

I mean it's a gift for people that work in social media management or consulting. We spend our days showing people and companies how to use social media and how to be smart with it. Using Yatter is the smartest thing I have ever done as I can now handle more work and further demonstrate the good in social media.

I have used this product for months now and I'm not turning back.

Pros:

Simple to use on several platforms. It can't be overworked and it's fresh.

Cons:

Re-authorising profiles and pages could be extended to say every 90 days, but I am splitting hairs here.
