We’ve already posted how the Hot Potato App can help be “less annoying” when talking publicly about a live event on ChurchDrop (see review here) but I’ve decided to provide a simple walk through with how to use it here as well since I’ve found some great uses for it already.
As you already know, twitter has all kinds of uses. From the business to the social side, it provides a place to conversate and discuss. One thing that twitter has turned into is a place to discuss live events and television shows which can be really annoying or hard to follow.
Here’s a walk through of how HotPotato is changing some of that…
Here you go:

What do you think? Something you’re going to use?
I think the challenge that we’re all facing is the management side of social media and the social streams of conversation. It’s nearly impossible to manage and/or keep up and so we have to find the right tools to do the job.
Hot Potato looks like one that might just be a good start.

The app looks pretty cool enough. What it claims to do seems awesome. Just concerned about the amount of negative feedback it’s getting on iTunes.
(Think 34 out of 72 votes giving it 1 star). YIKES!
I’m going to check it out and see how it goes. I’ll holler back & share my experience. 🙂
Thanks for pointing this one out.

Ya that is not very good. But I think it is still going through development etc…hopefully will pick up.

How do you view this different than, say, HootSuite? To my it seems rather similar, with the exception of Events. I guess I’m just not seeing the application of this. =
Kyle Reed says
The main difference is that it is not twitter powered. For instance, hootsuite is twitter ran, but hot potato is their own program and app.
So the main difference is that you have an account for live events that does not go straight to twitter unless you want it to.
