The Spredfast team wants to let you all know about some very important changes we are making to the Campaign Dashboard, the Activity page, and the Social Intelligence features of our software.  In short, your feedback has led us to merge the Activity stream currently on the Dashboard with our Social Intelligence functions.

What it means

You will now have access to your Activity stream, your recently engaging content, and your Social Intelligence feeds, searches, lists, and followers, all from the Campaign Dashboard.  While we think you should still plan out your campaign with forethought and a message in mind, you can now also interact with other people’s content right away without having to locate it in either the Activity page or buried in the Social Intelligence popup while creating content.  Furthermore, we have added and enhanced some features of our searches and feeds, allowing these streams to provide you with an expanded amount of information exactly as you want it.

What you have to do

Nothing.  If you have already set up terms and feeds in your Social Intelligence, then we will move them over to the Social Streams interface.  And if you haven’t already set up your Social Intelligence features, now is a great time to start.  The process has changed for the better and your options for Social Streams have only improved.  Simply click on the “+ Add” button within the Social Streams section of the Campaign Dashboard or from the Social Streams page and you will have the opportunity to create a new stream.  From there, you can choose to add your Facebook stream, search Twitter, add the streams of those you follow, and many other options.

What to do with Social Streams

Engage.  Social Streams are the evolution of Social Intelligence; we know you won’t have every post written beforehand while managing your campaign.  With Social Streams you can see the conversations out there and use them in your messaging and your social interactions.  We provide you with specific actions to take with content on the streams from quick posts to adding them to existing events to creating and assigning entirely new events.

As always, we value your input.  If you have problems, questions, or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to provide them to us via the Feedback button on the site.  We appreciate your involvement and want to help you make your social media campaign as successful as possible.

Thanks,

The Spredfast Team
