Buzz monitoring tools: an introduction and a list

With a professional buzz monitoring platform, you can monitor the social Web and find your brand mentioned on millions of blog posts, viral videos, reviews, audiocasts, photos, Twitter updates. You can undertake real-time monitoring of mentions of your organisation, product, issues and competitors.

You can analyse buzz about outcomes of specific marketing campaigns and social media investments. You can be aware of which content is making an impact, what needs to be managed and uncover key influencers online by topic, based on user-determined weightings.

Restructuring Social Media: MySpace

MySpace has suffered a PR and user mini-crisis, culminating in last week’s announcement of 30% staff cuts across the Rupert Murdoch owned, News Corporation company.

My first days at Juice Digital

I have been showered with information about search engine optimisation, Digital PR and the like. It will get some getting used to, but soon I will be involved in some actual projects. So far, done some research on social media demographics in the UK for MD Steve Downes.

M&S takes it on the chest

Digital PR (that’s Punk Rock)

I remember being miffed when all these new so-called experts appeared. Oi! I was here first. Who are these bloody Tony Parsons and Julie Birchill – what do they know? Where were they when Nick Kent and Charles Shaar Murray were changing the face of music journalism?

I see a similar reaction from some of the early-adopters in digital marketing. A mild resentment towards the new kids on the block (not the band, that is). And a snootiness to old ‘new media’.

61 Billion Web Searches a month, will they find you?

Someone recently asked the question “All these million searches for things….where did we used to go to get these answers?” When did you last pop into the library to do some research rather than Googling it? BG - before Google
