+2 for slack, although Ryver looks pretty good too (http://www.ryver.com/) but I haven't used it.
Slack has a TON of integrations too. Once of the things we did was have a #socialMedia channel, and all of our mentions from twitter, facebook, etc ended up reposting into the channel window. This let us stay on top of questions and complaints They have a pretty slick API.
