Working on your blog
promotion campaign, working on college project, or just looking for the prompt
information on the topic of interest, you may not limit your search efforts by
standard search engines. There so much data exchange is performed through
Social networks, that you may definitely find something useful there as well.
The problem is in efficient filtering of the particular topic, company, or
event from the enormous “background noise”.
Social Mention will help you. It is a social media search
platform that aggregates user generated content from across the web into a
single stream of information. Social Mention monitors 80+ social media
properties directly including: Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, YouTube, Digg,
Google etc.
Based on the string you create, you will receive free daily
email alerts of your brand, company, CEO, marketing campaign, or on a
developing news story, a competitor, or the latest on a celebrity. Basically,
it looks like Google Alerts but for social media.
