Ez.com: Manage Users for Each Domain

by Andy Meadows on January 28, 2010

Some interactive and social media agencies have asked us how they can use Ez.com to manage their customer’s social media efforts.  We recently added a great new feature that makes this easier and more secure than ever.

If you sign up for a multi-domain plan in Ez.com, you’ll be able to assign individual account holders to specific domains.  This will allow you to add customer domains to your account and then give your customers access to only their domains, yet give your staff a single login to see and manage all of your customer accounts.

Easy, right!?

This also works great in larger organizations where you have multiple brands or entities that need individual representation online, yet are managed by one social media team.  Have an idea on how we can tune our service to work better for your agency or organization?  Please let us know!

Shrink & Tweet

by Andy Meadows on January 26, 2010

BudURL & Ez.com received a must-requested feature – the ability to shrink, schedule, & tweet.  In a single click, you can use the new bookmarklet to create a short URL, write your tweet, and immediately post or schedule it for the future.  It’s so easy!  Even if you manage multiple domains on Ez.com, you can choose your preferred URL from the bookmarklet to shrink and tweet across all of your accounts.

This feature is available for all of our plans.  Just log into your account, click the Twitter tab, and enjoy!

New Plan Options for Ez.com Accounts

by Andy Meadows on October 15, 2009

After a lot of conversation, feedback, and soul-searching, we have made some significant changes to our plan options at Ez.com.  At the core, we realized our primary focus was making it easy to have your own custom URL shortener.  We decided to make this a standard feature of all paid plans.  In addition, we added a new Solo plan that starts at $24 per month.  That means that for a mere $24 per month, you can have your own custom URL shortener with real-time analytics, email notifications, etc.

We also increased the number of users that you can have on several accounts and raised some of the link limits and premium click counts.

We still offer a 21-day free trial for all of our accounts so you can sign up and take it for a spin without spending a penny.  Pretty cool, eh?  We’d like to think of it as being Ez.  Click here to check out our new plans.

by Andy Meadows June 11, 2009

If you attend any social media event, meetup, happy hour, or seminar, there’s a good chance that 90% of the conversation will be dominated by Twitter. Facebook has similar functionality in its status update feature, so why isn’t Facebook getting the attention? The answer? Less is More.
