You can set up Streams to monitor your own social media posts, mentions of your brand from your customers and prospects, activity from your competitors, or your industry at large.

In Streams, you can monitor mentions, reply to public comments, and reshare relevant content. No more hopping back and forth between networks or conducting time-consuming searches individually — it’s all in your Hootsuite dashboard.
