I agree that providing tips, advice, and guidance really helps to reduce a franchisor's reluctance to engage their customers and franchisees in the social media sphere. I would add that it's always a good idea to start by asking franchisors why they are hesitant to start engaging folks through Facebook, Twitter, etc. Many will say, as you mentioned, its complicated or "rocket science" or they think it's a waste of time. In my experience, once you demonstrate the value of social media to a franchisor, most are willing to wade into the social media pool. Thanks for the comment Paul.

HootSuite is a fantastic Twitter client for organizing and managing Twitter conversations and content around your brand and business. I haven't checked out additomatic yet, but I will definitely take it for a spin this week. Hi Thomas, thanks for the great comment.

I use Hootsuite to make tabs or groups and have 8-10 different groups. I also use www.additomatic.com to track keyword searches. Like anything else, if the franchisor doesn't jump ahead and lead, franchisees will lead in the absence of the franchisor. I've found that spending more time on social media and twitter especially is paying off and franchisees are really happy that we are taking the effort to develop the brand in this arena.
