SocialOomph is a great free service, with a paid premium service.  I’ve been using them for several months now to streamline my Twitter marketing efforts.  I logged in today to add another niche blog to Twitter and they have made some changes.  Here’s the annoucement on their site.

SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT – Wednesday, February 10th

We’ve converted the way we access Twitter accounts to a more secure method (OAuth) where we don’t need your Twitter password. Please select “Social Accounts, Manage Accounts” to convert your Twitter account(s). Everything will still work if you prefer to stay with the old Twitter username/password method of access. Conversion will only become mandatory around June 2010.

This is really good news since their service will be more secure.  You previously had to give your Twitter password to allow them to access Twitter but now they have implemented the OAuth method so it is much more secure and you just log into your Twitter account first and then authorize SocialOomph to access your account on an ongoing basis or until you no longer wish to do so.

I’ve been recommending their service for several months now as well and I always caution people to be vary of giving out any password.  The internet is growing so fast and everyone has to get up to speed on safety too.

SocialOomph now has added this safety feature so you should feel more secure that they take your personal information and safety seriously.  If you use Twitter and other social networks in your business or would like to, I would recommend SocialOomph to help you with managing your accounts.
