A Selection of Social Media Measuring Tools for Business

With this sneak peek, we’re going to provide you with a partial list of some of the social media monitoring and measuring tools used for businesses. (For the full list, you’ll have to wait for my book, hint-hint!)

Radian 6

Radian 6 is one of the more well-known solutions in the industry. It has both corporate and agency solutions. Through its real-time executive dashboard, companies can track and be alerted to who are their influencers and what they’re saying and sharing about the brand. Radian 6 also ties in with software like Salesforce.com and Web Trends.

SM2 (Techirgy)

Like the two companies mentioned previously, Sysomos’ Web provides real-time robust tracking, notifying, aggregating, analysis, and data reporting options.

ListenLogic

Focused on the enterprise sectors such as Sales & Prospecting, Marketing, Customer Service, Research & Development, Public Relations, Corporate Monitoring, and Competitor Intelligence, ListenLogic’s “listening platform” tracks and analyzes online chatter.

Spiral16

Labeling its “informatic software” solution Spark, Spiral16’s “virtualization engine” enables businesses to discover patterns and relationships among large data sets by organizing them in interactive displays.

RapLeaf

RapLeaf gathers and analyzes “people information” such as demographics, personal interests, friend networks, and someone’s social media footprint across the Social Web.

ScoutLabs

A solution priced to accommodate even small businesses, ScoutLabs delves into searches, sentiment tracking, buzz tracking, email alerts, collaboration, and conversation digests, among other offerings.

7. Hi Andy,
   Yep, Trackur is in the book, though I categorized it in with Reputation Management tools (small nuances of difference). That list hasn’t been released for Sneak Peek though…at least not yet! I appreciate the tickler!
