Thanks Lisa,
Nice article. I am always interested in reading more a bout Social Media and how it affects branding, especially Twitter tools.

Hi Lisa!

Since you wrote this post, there’s a new kid on the social media monitoring block and its name is Sprout Social

It does all of the various task and functions you mention above but adds in location based tracking with foursquare and Yelp integration.

There’s also a neat integration with Klout that identifies influential tweeters at a glance…

Anyway, this comment is not a sales pitch but rather an enticement to “embrace the tools”…so to speak ;)

Good monitoring!

- Don

Hi there,

Can I also add our web app Twilert into the mix? We have designed it to be a really simple way of tracking keywords and mentions on Twitter whilt you are not watching it and then sending them to you as an email whenever you like. Its free as well :)

cheers

Kind of surprised no one already mentioned Radian 6 in the course of this conversation. R6 is pretty efficient for much of this. Instead of manually doing this level of review daily you can instead focus on locating and having quality exchanges(?).

Thanks Lisa for the nice post. I found out about some services I didn’t know about. Will give them a try to see if they can help me too :)

Months later and I’m still using the same tools for my daily searches. I still can’t get myself to use TweetDeck. As for Social Mention, I just don’t feel like I need it in my day-to-day. I catch most of what I’m looking for through other means, but I do check it as a back up.

It’s possible my tools haven’t changed simply because of habit at this point. I need to be “wow’d!” in order to pick up something else.

Just came across this post now. Are you still using the same applications for your monitoring? Have your thoughts changed about TweetDeck or Social Mention?

Well done. I use many of these and picked up a good pointer from you.

I like tweetbeep.com for tracking mentions of my username, brand and URLs on twitter. Alerts are sent to your email inbox and it even reads shortened URLs to see if it forwards to your URL.
