Cons
Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
  • We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates.
  • It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up.

  • If I schedule an article to be posted on LinkedIn and want to go back to edit it to have it posted on Twitter as well at the same scheduled time, this is hard and shouldn't be
  • For filtering content so the user just sees articles they are interested in, some of the filters are too broad. I work in Cloud. Cloud happens to also cover things like AI and Data, which aren't in my specialty. I wish my articles and content were just cloud software.
  • The pane where the user can see all scheduled posts could have a different view. They are shown in a list and aren't easy to drag/drop and change. This would be super useful on the desktop browser version.

Definitely LinkedIn elevate is a much easier program to use while still offering more complexity in Data and allowing better connection among employees. The content side makes it much more interesting and enjoyable than other programs. It also provides a more unique layout and structure that employees can seamlessly share content and learn from other posts.
