Where does the day go? Great social media monitoring tools to save time.
With all the social networking sites out there – Linked-In, Twitter, Facebook, Digg…how can we keep up with all the chatter? Unless we hire or dedicate one person to be in charge of social media.
So, when we came across a really great blog posting that was under PR Week’s Blogs & Forums by Paul Armstrong, we were really excited. It has REALLY great social media monitoring tools. Check it out.
Here’s our favorites:
Definitely subscribe to BackType. It is a conversational search engine. They index and connect millions of conversations from blogs, social networks and other social media so people can find, follow and share comments. It allows you to go deep into forums and discussion boards.
And for monitoring traffic trends, we have signed-up for Compete’s free service.
Compete.com is the only online competitive intelligence service that combines site and search analytics in one site to help you quickly master online marketing. The free access allows you to compare up to 5 sites.
We have also bookmarked (to keep on our daily to-do list) two great sites.
Spy and Addict-o-matic. You can search keywords on Spy to capture the social media conversations you’re interested in. Addict-o-matic gives you a snapshot of what is being said on sites like Bing, Yahoo, Google, DIGG, etc. as it relates to your search and keywords. All on one page!
If you have been using these social media monitoring tools, love to hear what you think of them. And if you have any other suggestions, please share with everyone.
Set up a google alert for blogs, news, video and web. If you set them up for as they are posted, it is very through.

Phenomenal. I just tried Addict-o-matic. SICK what that does. Thank you so so so much for this post.
Very cool. While my own experience with Compete is that is is not to accurate, I just tried the others you mentioned and they are wonderful resources. Have any more?
And to think I thought google alerts covered everything! Neat.

Yes unfortunately Compete isn’t 100% accurate. Addict-o-matic is great!!
Vocus has a new service that is pretty good.
