This information gives you an insight to the tools and resources than can be utilised on Social media, courtesy of Tiyo.
For some of you, these might seem basic, for others, they might seem a little not so straight forward, but no matter how experienced they are, they are worth a look!
Wordle...If you haven't heard of this one, I guarantee it'll become a favourite pretty quickly.
Wordle creates 'word clouds' based on the content of a blog / any site with an RSS feed.
PR Value: Want to creatively present what a blog is all about? This does it for you in seconds. Especially useful if you want to get a quick overview about what a blogger writes / is passionate about.
Google Trends...Another fantastic tool for gathering intelligence.
Google Trends will display the frequency in which a topic / subject is mentioned in chronological and country-by-country order.
PR Value: Planning on launching an activity? Run a quick search to see which time of year the world is talking about that subject the most.
BlogPulse..As far as blog specific search tools go, this one is right up there...and probably shades Google's Blog search in some areas, it is a very handy tool.
PR Value: See who is writing about your brand or subject of interest in a flash.
Alexa...If you want to get a handle on the DNA of a website or Blog, this is a good place to start.
It will tell you how much traffic a site gets, where that traffic is coming from, whether it is gaining more traction etc.
PR Value: Check how a site / blog you're looking after is going. Check on the competition. See where you need to focus more effort. Again, very handy.
SWiX...If you only use one tool a day, try and make it this one.
It is a very simple way of tracking activity across all of your social networks / platforms.
PR Value: At-a-glance intelligence, lovely.
