HootSuite, a social media dashboard, has raised $1.9 million in funding, according to an SEC filing. Vancouver-based HootSuite, which dubs itself as “the professional Twitter client,” lets users manage their Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and Ping.fm accounts through one interface.

With HootSuite, users can manage multiple Twitter profiles with multiple editors on each, schedule tweets, track stats, RSS their content, and more. Launched in 2008, HootSuite also has an iPhone app and recently integrated the ability to publish to WordPress blogs.

HootSuite faces competition from other all-in one social media dashboards including TweetDeck, PeopleBrowsr, and Seesmic (which just acquired Ping.fm)
