About Swello
A French social tool whose feed is mostly events and studies, with rare real features.
Swello's feed mixes product notices into a stream of community marketing, and the marketing dominates: a podcast for community managers, the second edition of an annual community-manager survey, a fourth Swello Days conference. The one genuine product change in this window is first-comment scheduling for Instagram, extending a capability already available for LinkedIn and Facebook. An outage notice from February sits in the same stream, tagged as an event.
