For those who monitor conversations for your company or for other companies, here’s a quick tidbit of humility over on this side.
There were a particular number of social media sites I felt were monitor worthy. Most of these I put extra time into in terms of easily putting together tools that allowed me to aggregate [...]

Why every company should have a blog
January 11, 2008 – 6:31 pm
Do you exist online? It’s a question that any company should be ask themselves. There’s a catch for companies, though. “Existing” online doesn’t mean having a homepage or e-commerce site. It means having an authentic personality.
How does a company have an authentic personality online? With over 70 million blogs across the globe accounting for ~1.5 [...]
Social Media: A new tool to listen
December 12, 2007 – 1:49 am
I mentioned a site called MonitorThis about a month or so ago. I was pretty enthralled by the site since it pulled in data from so many places and exported it to an OPML file (a file you can import into an RSS reader like Bloglines or Google Reader). The issue, however, was for each [...]
Listen up - MonitorThis
November 18, 2007 – 5:42 pm
I’ve put together various processes for companies to monitor keywords online that don’t require purchasing anything (I suppose it’s that boot strapping, entrepreneurial mind that sends me on such quests). As such, I feel it only fair to make mention something I recently caught eye of over on Julia Roy’s blog called MonitorThis.
MonitorThis pulls results [...]
More proof social media is worth adopting
November 6, 2007 – 12:24 am
I say “adopt” because it’s the technopian culture you’re coming in contact with. It’s a mindset you have to develop and understand. Dell has been working hard on adopting this culture, and it’s paying off. More are noticing. Dell is continuing to kick some ass. It’s got to be exciting for them. Once they hit [...]
Process of conversation in micro-communities
October 23, 2007 – 8:31 pm
Update: I’ve updated this from its previous version, still bloggers block version. I am hoping after hearing a nice lecture from John Updike, my thoughts will flow a bit better.
I’ve been talking about online conversations with a number of people lately and have come to what I think are two realizations. First is that people [...]
Tracking keywords online with Bloglines
October 16, 2007 – 8:01 pm
While I just wrote a post on how to track conversations online with Google Alert & GMail, I’m noticing that while the feeds are updating, it’s not always showing up in Google Reader 100% of the time. This is also a great time to mention something CK just wrote on a process of listening for [...]
Online conversations aren’t just for companies
October 4, 2007 – 1:39 pm
It’s for anyone, really. That includes you. It also includes bands like Radiohead.
Radiohead recently received a bunch of press on how they’re letting users pay whatever price they want for their latest album (which is pretty neat, I must say). I wonder if they’re listening in though, because even users who want to pay may [...]
