Who does what, where and how? Are you measuring up against your competition? There’s a lot of social media buzz going on. What are they talking about your brand and your company? We have compiled a list of 46 free social media monitoring tools. Some of the tools have free basic plan or free trial period but most of them are totally free. The list is sorted alphabetically. Enjoy! If we missed any great tools please post them to comments.

Note:   On March 15, 2010 I will be giving a presentation at the AAF – Madison Social Media workshop. My topic is social media tool selection.  I intend to talk about  social media  “sites” as tools.  These are the social sites that a company would use to implement a strategy.  The other tool is really the assessment and monitoring tool a company would select to find their starting point and monitor success, ROI and change. In an effort to collect some  of the assessment tool information in one place I will build on some of the great posts and research already done on the key blogs I follow.

As I try to follow the “free” first rule of thumb, I currently use Google Alerts, Scout Labs, Technoratic and Addictomatic.  I also try different ones during a free trial period to make sure I know the difference between tools.

If you use a tool that has done a good job for your – free or paid – please share it in the comment section below.

The state and future of Twitter is passionately debated as users and industry pundits explore whether or not the platform and the relationships that connect one another are in danger of slowing or worse, regressing. Over the last year, Twitter experienced its most phenomenal growth to date, fueled by the adoption of the communication network by highly visible and influential personalities that attracted legions of new users to establish one-to-many and ultimately many-to-many connections. But, then the meteoric ascent practically leveled-off…

In preparation for an upcoming workshop on Twitter for Business 201, I will be watching for important information and blog posts offered by the thought leaders in social media. Brian Solis, in this post, is assessing the latest research and results from HubSpot on Twitter trends.  As you look at the latest numbers, consider my Twitter for Business post in January that talked about  Gartner and the Trough of Dillusionment coming with social media.

Deal Reg 2.0 – XeeSM New Social Relationship Management Tool | In My Opinion

February 27, 2010

According to Axel Schultze, founder of Social Media Academy, “deal registration” has become one of the key program elements for high tech channels. However the many different systems, different processes on one side and the fact that channel partners have to enter deals multiple times are reasons for a rather slow adoption. Traditional online registrations [...]
