CoTweet – Full Website Review

Dear Readers,

(Last Updated June 1, 2010 @ 7:51 pm EST)

Well to start off I have to say besides survey sites. We here @ the (CSW) generally don’t review websites. But we made an exception for both Twitter and Co-Tweet. The main reason we get plenty “O” questions. So we decided to address said questions as a new review type…We hope you enjoy it :)

—————————————–

CoTweet is how business does Twitter. CoTweet allows multiple people to communicate through corporate Twitter accounts and stay in sync while doing so. No dropped balls, no stepping on each others toes.

**At least that is how they explain it on their website http://cotweet.com/about

—————————————–

1. Q: Who Can Use CoTweet ?

A: Well anyone can use CoTweet if they want. Now saying that they claim to cover the business sector. So do I believe that everyone should use CoTweet if they have a business. Then my answer is a very strong and simple “HELL NO“. I said the same thing during my Twitter review….

————————

2. Q: Is CoTweet Safe To Use ?

A: Yes, so far it does seem to be. But there are more sensitive aspects of it compared to Twitter.

————————

3. Q: Is CoTweet Easy To Use ?

A: No not at all…you would think so because the main Twitter site is super simple. But this mess only looks professional compared to the main Twitter website. That is where the comparison ends with the 2 sites. This supposed all in one super useful better alternative to Twitter for the business community is not, what it claims to be.

4. Q: Should I Allow My Kids To Use CoTweet ?

A: No point…..

————————

5. Q: Is CoTweet Stable ?

A: Generally yes….thou during our tests. I had a few times where it crashed or would not delete a certain Tweet for what ever reason.

————————

6. Q: Is CoTweet Useful ?

A: Not for me. More stressful then anything else.

————————

7. Q: Do I Need A CoTweet Account ?

A: No and that extends into being a business owner as well.

————————

8. Q: Can I Get A Virus Using This Service ?

A: Yes 100% yes..if you click on any of the links there is the potential to get a virus. Bar-ing that I have not had any reports of virus, Spyware or Adware.

————————

9. Q: Does CoTweet Spam Users ?

A: No, not that we have noticed

————————

10. Q: Are There Any Ads On CoTweet ?

A: No, not I noticed

————————

Final overall score for CoTweet is a 2 out of 5 – This site to me is so pointless. But it does have future possibility’s for sure. CoTweet has a lot overlapping features to watch stats from a bunch of different angles. Other then that and the grey overall look  to it. That is about as business as this site gets in my view. Stick with Twitter, Facebook and what other sites or apps you may use and avoid this CoTweet mess.

For people who know me well know that I have some huge issue with Facebook. So at first I was apprehensive with CoTweet. But their security and overall exposer rate is way better then Facebook is and ever will be.

Post Disclaimer: I know I sometimes get comments telling me I am way to harsh. But I just wanted to point out that this is just my view of this site and my exposure to the site overall. With use of the site to facilitate a benefit for both my companies “Computer Savvy” and “Internet Savvy”. Which I felt was actually a large step backwards from Twitter.
