The night started when they opened the doors we where greeted with a photographer who took mine and @Migpascual ‘s photo we fell behind the rest of the group for a moment. Then there was an open bar and yummy fried Macaroni cheese balls with a spicy cheese to dip into that danced on our taste buds.

We where entertained by the DJ set from Eclectic Method, with videos bites and edits from The Sound of Music Do Re Me, to Dee Lite’s Groove is in the Heart and appearances from the Simpsons.

My throat is sore from screaming… @Baratunde was a great host for the evening he entertained us all night long. Pete Cashmore of Mashable is so Adorkable (I so stoled @kristlinas ‘s word adorkable) no other man could miss a step down and still be so Adorkable.

Here is one of the laughable quotes from @Baratunde “Apple is dreaming of new ways to take your money.”

There was only one disappointment of the evening, and that was that @Twitter was not there to accept their award for “Break Through Website Design.” The crowd proceeded to shout out @FailWhale…

@Foursquare won for the Best Location Based Service! “Foursquare, the mobile location-based service, had a year of tremendous growth that paved the way for other location-based services, including Facebook Places.” – @Mashable

Congratulations @Hootsuite for Best Social Media Management Tool. Angry Birds received the award for “Best Mobile Game” and the Gentlemen in front of me caught one of the flying angry birds that flew into the audience.

Now on to Android! I am an Android and love my #EVO yet I hate the battery! It died shortly after I took this video.

Thank you again @Mashable for the gift!

There are so many “Suite” things about  Hootsuite that make it my “Suite” Twitter home away from Twitter.

One of my favs is the “Hootlet” a “Suite” tool you drag to your toolbar, that allows you to tweet about a cool site without even going into Twitter.   Here is a video demo:

Hootsuite also allows you tp take you columns on the go!  Here’s another demo:

But that is just the beggining, multiple accounts, team workflow, track statistics, multi-column view, tabbed layout, create groups, embed columns, feed your RSS, Ping.fm intergration, schedule Tweets, quick search, view user info, and report spam.

For us bloggers “Feeding our RSS” is a great feature I have it set to tweetup up to 4 times a day when I make a new blog post.

This is just a quick over view of  Hootsuite, it has so many endearing qualities.  The FAQ and How to’s are abundant as you can tell from the demo videos I have shared.

So go set up your Hootsuite Hoot!  You’ll think it’s “Suite” to!
