Today is probably the most significant day for us since we released the first version of SocialBro! We have been working very hard over these last few months to launch a version that will completely change the way you use our tool. We’re thrilled to announce our web-based app: SocialBro is now in the cloud!
The cloud version brings other good news: Pro packages designed for businesses, agencies and Twitter lovers. Of course, we’re continuing to provide a free version of our tool, with SocialBro Desktop for Chrome and Adobe Air. We’ll explain all the details in this post!
Cloud version: main differences and advantages
No more synchronizations
Cloud version: main differences and advantages
No more synchronizations
Time saved! Up to now, synchronization has been necessary to update your Twitter account (and it will remain in the desktop apps). However, in the cloud version this process is simplified in order to offer a completely different user experience.
You won’t need to manually synchronize your account anymore, as the system will do it for you periodically. You’ll get an email when the sync is ready.
Bigger Twitter accounts win!
This is fantastic news for large Twitter accounts, as previously it was almost impossible to synchronize a huge number of followers. Nevertheless, a few brave SocialBro users do this despite the long time it takes to update their mega accounts!
So, getting to the point, now every Twitter user can enjoy our tool regardless of their community size. Isn’t it amazing?
Secure your data
In the current desktop versions all your information is stored on your computer. Now, your history, followers and friends are stored in the cloud, so you never have to worry about saving this data yourself. We do it for you!
Flexible accessibility
As SocialBro is in the cloud, you can access your account from any computer. It’s really useful to be able to open the app from anywhere you are at your convenience. It completely changes the way you use our tool!
Available in Firefox, Google Chrome & Safari
SocialBro Cloud is currently optimized to work on Chrome, Firefox and Safari, but we’re working to support all browsers very soon.
Automatic Updates
You never have to worry about updating SocialBro: you’ll see all updates and new releases automatically in the cloud app.
Pro packages: see which plan is more suitable for you
We’re pleased to announce the Pro packages specially designed for companies and agencies large and small, and of course, for Twitter lovers. The Pro SocialBro users will have the advantage of using the cloud version, but the Chrome and the Adobe Air apps will remain free.
We offer four different plans, structured to cover all your possible needs according to: number of contacts, Twitter accounts and sources, plus number of users to take into account in the Best Time to Tweet report (the free version analyzes only your top 100 followers).

Summer Deal
To celebrate this release (and the Summer!), we’ve designed some special promotions to make the decision to sign up much easier. This offer runs until August 31 2012. From this date forward the conditions will change a little bit, so have a look at the plans to see which one works best for you and get the best deal now!
Premium>> For Twitter Lovers
In this plan, dedicated to all you folks who take Twitter seriously, the total number of followers and friends of all added accounts is 10,000. With this package you can add two Twitter accounts. The maximum number of sources (competitors’ accounts, searches, lists and text files) is five and the Best Time to Tweet report is generated based on your top 500 followers. If you’re a Twitter lover with more than 10,000 contacts you can upgrade to the Premium Plus plan, which allows you to have up to 20,000 contacts.
Professional>> For Advanced Twitter Users
The Professional plan gives you more privileges as it’s designed for freelance professional users, who usually manage more than two Twitter accounts. So, this package allows users to have up to 10 Twitter accounts with 50,000 contacts in total. The number of sources for this plan is 15 and the Best Time to Tweet report analyzes the timeline of 1000 users.
Business>> For Companies & Small Agencies
Companies and small agencies will find this plan very suitable for their needs, as we’ve designed it with them specifically in mind. They can have up to 200,000 contacts and add up to 30 own Twitter accounts. The number of sources (competitors’ accounts, searches, lists and text files) is a maximum of 40 and the Best Time to Tweet analysis takes into account 5000 users.
Corporate>> For Larger Companies & Agencies
For companies and agencies that manage hundreds of thousands of contacts, that need something designed specifically for them, that takes the biggest and best SocialBro can deliver, we will develop a solution just for you. We will combine the different features and capacities that you need to fit perfectly with your business. Just send us an email to sales@socialbro.com and we would be thrilled to help you create your customized SocialBro.

How often is it supposed to synchronize as mine hasn't updated anything for about 16 hours
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteThe system synchronizes your account periodically, approximately every 24 hours.
Keep in touch if you have more queries!

Any chance you could add a synchronisation button in to it. Right now I'm having to run the desktop version in the background to see whats going on in real time which kind of defeats the purpose of paying $40 a month to use the program especially since you can't add lists yet either.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteWe won't add a manually sync to the cloud version, so far.
I'd like to know which problem you're having to add lists to the cloud version, please. Anyway, we'll email you to give you a better support service.
Thank you,
Leticia
Sorry I didn't mean lists I meant import text files. I feel a bit ripped off tbh thinking it would be exactly the same as the desktop version but with a bigger community. To make things worse, the first email I receive after I paid for my first months subscription was offering me a months free trial so I feel like I've paid $40 for nothing.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a problem with the lists. I've spent an hour adding people to lists and realized that when it shows the "twitter api is busy" it skips the person it was trying to add instead of trying to add them again so I now have to start all over again.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteThe cloud version will improve a lot in the following months, so I appreciate your patience. Do you mean that your're trying to add a txt file, right? This feature is coming to the cloud app really soon. We're working on this.
There is no free trial, sorry, so could you send me (leticia@socialbro.com) the email with this info, please? We'll fix it asap.
I've just sent you an email from our sopport service.
Thank you,
Leticia
Leticia how will the new Twitter api changes effect the database and synchronization. Its looks like its going to have a significant impact on accounts with larger followings.
ReplyDeleteCan you please give some guidance :)
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe new Twitter API changes won't affect our service, so far :-)
Best,
Leticia
Hi,
ReplyDeletePlease consider adding a synchronization button to the Pro version. Having it available for the free version and not for the Pro is frustrating.
Thanks
Sharon
Hi Sharon!
ReplyDeleteWe've just added this option.
I'll send you an email :-)
Thanks,
Leticia
