Hoot Types
Posting a hoot starts with choosing the right type. This is not only important for you as a poster but for others on your board so they can find the right post at the right time by being able to filter to these categories. Here’s some ideas about each of the different types of hoots:
Announcement – Get the word to all your members about new happenings.
Question — Leverage the power of your community and ask questions to members on your HootBoard.
Story — Tell your story by adding a more detailed blog post type hoot.

Link — Create hoots from around the web by simply pasting a link to that page. We support 1,000’s of sites and multi-media content such as Youtube, SlideShare, Spotify and more.
Photo — Make posts stand out one or many photos. We’ll create a slideshow when there is more than one image.

*TIP* Add extra data to posts such as locations, colors and buttons.
