Let’s look at our top 3 Social Monitoring apps and how to use them:
1. Twitter

    Add a Twitter app. Click on “+ Add”, go to Essentials and add the official Twitter widget to your page. Inside the widget, click on “+ Add” to link it with your Twitter account.
    Start tweeting! Once linked, you can start using it as your main tool to communicate on Twitter: post new tweets, replies, send direct messages, etc.
    Drag & Follow. Want to create a new widget to follow another user? Simply drag & drop the username anywhere on the page, and Netvibes will automatically create a new widget with all tweets from this user. And you can do the same with any hashtag.

2. Facebook

    Add a Facebook app. Click on “+ Add”, go to Essentials and add the official Facebook widget to your page. A new window will open asking you to link your Netvibes and Facebook accounts.
    Start posting! Once linked, you can start using it to post on your Facebook profile: post new status updates, replies, view friends and groups requests, etc.
    Drag & Follow. Just like with our Twitter app, simply drag any username or hashtag to create a new app to monitor the conversation.

3. Social Search

    Add a Social Search app. Click on “+ Add”, go to Essentials and add the Social Search widget to your page.
    Now you can search and monitor Twitter, Facebook and Forums–all at once! Inside the widget, simply type a keyword or hashtag you want to follow.
    Drag & Follow. Again, drag & drop a user name, page or hashtag anywhere on the dashboard to creat a new widget and start following it immediately.
