Buzz Monitoring: 26 Free Buzz Tracking Tools

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 15:17:33 +0800

There are a lot of companies that will happily relieve you of your dollars, in exchange for buzz monitoring services. While many large companies will enjoy the peace of mind that comes from having a company track their reputation for them, the rest of us need something a little less expensive–or better yet, free!

We’ve compiled a list of twenty six buzz monitoring tools that are free of charge. Use these tools to keep track of your company reputation or even spy on your competition! Take a look at Trackur.com if you need an all-in-one buzz monitoring tool.

1. Your Industry

If you simply don’t have time to track everything that specifically relates to your company–or your competition–you can still track news that relates to your industry. Moreover and Yahoo are just a couple of resources that offer RSS feeds for aggregated industry news.

2. Mainstream Media News

One of the best ways to track mainstream media mentions of your company is to use Google News. Enter your company name, sort the results by date published and then subscribe to the RSS feed. You’ll get instant RSS updates of any news items that mention your business. Example for “apple“.

3. News Buzz

It’s one thing to track any news that relates to your business, but what if you just want to know about the news that becomes popular? Sites such as Digg and Reddit will let you search for submitted stories that match your company name. Subscribe to the resulting RSS feed and you’ll know about any story on Digg that mentions your company–or your biggest rival.

4. Social Media News

By the time a hot news story gets picked-up by the mainstream media, it could have made the rounds for days in the blogosphere. You can capitalize on positive buzz and put out any reputation fires by tracking social media. Technorati is one of the best options for tracking social media sites. Custom RSS feeds let you get quick updates on any blog that utters your company name.

5. Blog Posts

If a blog happens to “ping” the blogosphere, the chances are that it will get on Google Blog Search. Even if the blog isn’t in Google news, or doesn’t make the main Google index, Google Blog Search might still find that story that mentions your CEO or your recent product launch. Get alerts to matching stories via email or RSS.

6. Blog Comments

Sometimes tracking a blog post doesn’t reveal the full conversation about your business. The blog post might be positive, but those leaving comments could attack your reputation. Services such as co.mments.com track the comments left on blogs. You can search for your brand and subscribe to the RSS feed for instant updates.

7. Blog Conversations

A negative blog post appears on a low-trafficked blog and there are no comments to track. End of story? Not quite, what if a very popular blogger picks up on the story? It could spread very quickly and catch you by surprise. Blogpulse’s conversation tracker will help you track who’s linking to that blog post about your company.

8. Blog Trends

How well is your competitor’s new product launch going? Blogpulse trends lets you track whether a keyword is getting growing blog mentions or not. Apple’s iPhone saw a 1000% jump in blog mentions leading up to its launch.

9. Bookmarks

Remember the days when your customers would bookmark your site in IE and you never knew about it? Thanks to online bookmarking services such as del.icio.us more people are sharing their bookmarks online. RSS feeds make it easy to track whenever someone bookmarks a web page that includes mention of your company.

10. Photos

Did an employee release a top-secret photo of your new products? Did someone snap a photo of your CEO leaving a strip-club? The chances are high that they might upload it to image hosting sites such as Flickr. Luckily, you can subscribe to an RSS feed that will update you on any new image that matches your company name?or the name of your slimy CEO.

11. Videos

So what if your CEO was caught on video having a lap-dance? Ouch! Ok, less damaging, someone releases a video showing a negative product review. Google Video recently switched focus to index videos from many online hosting sites (such as YouTube and MetaCafe). Now you can keep track of videos that include your company.

12. Tags

Wouldn’t it be great if you could enter a keyword and see who used that word as a “tag” How much better would it be if you could see matching tags across more than a dozen sites? Keotag.com does just that, making it easy for you to track if someone tags a page using your company or product name.

13. Forum Posts

Sometimes the most important conversations don’t happen on blogs. Forums and message boards can host conversations about your company and you’d never know about it. Don’t panic! Sites such as Boardtracker.com will keep an eye on popular forums for you and alert you by RSS if your company is mentioned in a thread.

14. Changing Information

Wikipedia is one of the most trusted resources for information on the web. You might be interested in any updates to your company profile or maybe you want to know if your competitor is trying to remove links to your web site. Fortunately you can track change history for any Wikipedia page and have the changes sent to your RSS reader of choice.

15. Job Listings

If your competitor wants to start a new service or launch a new product, the chances are they’ll need to hire new staff to achieve this. Classifieds search engine Oodle scours many online job listings and aggregates the information in a central location. Set up RSS feeds for searches on your biggest competitors and you’ll know whenever they list a vacant position.

16. Financial Filings

You can get a good feel for the financial health of your publicly-traded competitors by keeping a close eye on their SEC filings. Use Edgar Online and you’ll know if they’re subject to an SEC investigation or if their CEO is dumping stock faster than Martha Stewart.

17. Conference Calls

Sticking with public companies, sometimes you can learn some competitive information by listening to the company’s conference calls. But who has time for that? SeekingAlpha lets you subscribe to the RSS feed of conference call transcripts. Open up the transcript and you can quickly get a snapshot of their financial health. You might even learn about a new product launch–one which you might want to think about for your business.

18. Patents

Keeping track of patent filings was notoriously difficult before Google Patent Search came along. Now you can keep any eye on patents filed that relate to your industry. Better yet, keep track of patents that might violate your company held patents.

19. Events

Yahoo’s Upcoming lets you get RSS alerts on any new event that matches your selected keyword. You can keep track of conferences that you might want to attend, or sponsor. In addition, you could keep track of seminars or meeting being held by your competitors.

20. New Products

Let’s say you want to get some ideas of products that might be hot right now. Amazon.com lets you view product “tags” and then review similar tags. You can use this to get an idea of companion products that you might want to launch.

21. Search Query Trends

What search queries are popular at Google right now? Thanks to Google Trends you can get an idea of which keywords are most searched for. You can narrow your research to specific countries or cities–letting you know if a product has global or local appeal.

22. Keyword Referrals

Sure you could probably take an educated guess as to which sites might get the most traffic for a particular keyword, but it’s more fun to actually spy on your competitors. Compete’s Search Analytics allows you to enter a keyword and see which web sites are getting traffic for that keyword.

23. Site Referrals

Ok, so maybe you’re not sure which keywords you should target for your next SEM campaign. Compete’s Search Analytics will also let you enter any domain name and see which keywords are driving traffic to that site. Now you know which keywords your competitors are targeting.

24. Email Updates

If you’re not quite ready for all of that RSS reader nonsense, you can still keep track of the latest buzz via email. Google Alerts let you track web, blogs, news and groups for any phrase you want. Select daily, weekly or “as it happens” updates and you’ll get an email whenever your company name is mentioned.

25. The Untrackable

Some stuff just can’t be tracked that easily. If you want to track changes at a site–even if they don’t offer RSS or email updates–there are many tools that will do it for you. Our favorite is Copernic’s Tracker which, for $50, will let you keep an eye on any web site. Use it to monitor RipOffReport.com, forum threads, or even your competitor’s web site.

26. Anything You Want

You don’t have to be a developer in order to create your own custom buzz monitoring tool. Thanks to Yahoo Pipes, you can quickly set up your own RSS tracking, complete with filters. Want to track Twitter for mentions of your company? Not a problem with Yahoo Pipes.

Over to You

So, that should be enough buzz monitoring tools to get you going. Some are more useful than others, but all are FREE! What are your favorite buzz monitoring tools? Leave a comment or post to your own blog and ping us.

10 Tips to Manage Photos Better using Google Picasa

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 15:13:32 +0800

Google’s Picasa is probably one of the best photo managers available as it makes organizing, managing and sharing photos a lot easier. Its ever growing popularity can be attributed to its simplicity and ease of use. Picasa 2 is currently available as a download for Windows and Linux but a Mac version is expected to be released soon.

Here are some tips for Picasa users to efficiently manage their photo collections:

1. Tag your Photos using Keywords

Select a few photos (Use CTRL + Click), and press CTRL + K to add keywords to your photos. This could help a lot in sorting through and finding a photo later.

2. Geotag Photos using Google Earth

If you’ve got Google Earth installed on your computer, geotagging your photos is a piece of cake. Select the pictures, go to Tools >> Geotag >> Geotag using Google Earth to go to the location where the photos were taken. Position the crosshairs on Google Earth after reaching the location, press Geotag and you’re done!

3. Upload Photos to Flickr from Picasa

Ok, you can obviously upload your pictures to Picasa Web Albums from Picasa, but what if Flickr is your favourite? You cannot use Picasa to upload photos to Flickr, but there’s a third party tool to the rescue.

Picasa2Flickr is how it’s called, and it adds a ‘Send To Flickr’ button to Picasa. Click it, authorize and then you can upload photos to Flickr directly from Picasa.

4. Batch Edit Photos

If you want to edit multiple photos at once in Picasa, use CTRL + Click to select them all. Then, use the option Pictures >> Batch Edit from the menu bar to apply effects to all the photos you’ve selected.

5. Publish to Blogger, Export as HTML Pages

In addition to uploading your photos to your Picasa Web Albums, Picasa makes it easy to upload your photos to a blog hosted on Google’s Blogger Service. Use the options from the Tools menu to share your photos with others on your Blogger Blog.

Picasa can also make HTML Gallery pages for you locally, you can share them around computers. It’s only easier to browse the photos in your browser. Use the Create menu to export photos as HTML Gallery Pages.

6. Gift CD with only selected Photos

There’s only one possibility when creating Gift CDs in Picasa: you can only add an entire folder to a gift CD, not particular photos. There’s a work around though, here’s how:

Do this for the photos you don’t want to be included in the gift CD: Right Click on the photos you want to exclude and select Hide from the menu that appears. Once you’ve done this for all the photos, press the Gift CD option on the toolbar to burn a disk only with those specific photos.

7. Make a Photo Black and White

Five detailed procedures to create black and white copies of your photos are nicely explained here.

8. Faster Zooming

When you’re viewing a single photo in Picasa, you can zoom into the photo by using your mouse’s scroll wheel. Or, there’s an even quicker way to zoom: use the left mouse button, draw a diagonal line across the photo, and it gets bigger instantly.

9. Full Screen Photo Viewing

Put your cursor over a photo, press CTRL and then ALT. A full screen view of the picture is shown immediately.

10. Picasa Shortcuts

Picasa has got shortcuts for almost every other action, you can see a list here. Make sure you master them. They could really come handy. Some of my favoites are:

Ctrl-A: Select all photos in album
Ctrl-1: View your photos as small thumbnails
Ctrl-2: View your photos as large thumbnails
F11: Use Picasa in full-screen mode
Ctrl-4: Start a slideshow
Ctrl-3: Open an image in “Edit Mode”
Ctrl-Shift-H: Flip image horizontally
Ctrl-Shift-V: Flip image vertically
Ctrl-Shift-B: Add black and white effect

Free Toolkits, Frameworks, Libraries and Source Code for DOM Scripting, DHTML and Ajax

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:40:25 +0800

ZK Ajax but no JavaScript: ZK allows you to create your Ajax applications using XUL and XHTML components and manipulate them by listening to events triggered by visitors to your site. Your application runs on the server side with only the visual user interface at the client side (browser). Scripting is done with Java. ZK is relased under the GPL.
Dojo, the JavaScript Toolkit: Dojo is a library for JavaScript that may help speed up your development of JavaScript web applications by providing components that you can use to add functionality to your web pages and make them more responsive and usable. It supports Safari 2.0.x+, Opera 8.5+, Firefox 1.0+ (as well as Mozilla), Konqueror 3.5+ as well as Internet Explorer 5.5+ (Windows).
Rico: Rico is a JavaScript library that provides Ajax support, drag and drop management and a cinematic effects library. The library is released under the open source Apache 2.0 licence. At the time this description was written, the demos do not seem to work well under some browsers (such as Opera 9.01).
Google Web Toolkit - Build AJAX applications in the Java language: Google Web Toolkit helps you in developing AJAX web applications like Google Maps and Gmail by taking care of many of the browser dependencies under the hood. Your applications are built using Java, and the toolkit translates it into JavaScript and HTML that works across a number of browsers, including IE, Firefox, Opera, Mozilla and Safari. You can also intermix JavaScript into your code. Other features include the ability to create widgets and lay out widgets, debug your applications using advanced Java debugging facilities, simple remote procedure calls (RPCs), automatic management of the browser's back button, etc.
Yahoo! User Interface Library: Yahoo! supplies a number of utilities and controls for use in your AJAX and DHTML web applications. They are released under a BSD licence. The library is written in JavaScript. The library features a calendar, containers (which includes tooltips, dialogs, etc), menus, sliders, treeviews, autocomplete, a drag and drop utility, an animation utility, CSS fonts, CSS page grids, and so on.
Yahoo! Design Pattern Library: The Yahoo! Design Pattern Library features a variety of patterns, which are defined by them as optimal solutions to common problems. Each problem comes with text describing the solution. Among the many patterns described are animation transitions, collapse transitions (such as when you want to collapse an item on a page), dim transitions, expand transitions, fade-in transitions, self-healing transitions, slide transitions, spotlight transitions, page grids, tool tips, hover, etc.
Microsoft ASP.NET Atlas: Microsoft's Atlas is primarily for developers to create ASP.NET pages that use AJAX. You will need to have either Visual Studio 2005 or have the free version of Visual Studio 2005 Express (see the Free C/C++ Compilers page for the latter).

The Top 40 Free Ajax & Javascript Code for Web Designers

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:38:51 +0800

Ajax has becoming very popular recently, but most designers seem to rehash the same script over and over (you’ll see it in a lot of Wordpress Themes and Plugins). Perhaps we aren’t using ajax technology to its full potential, myself included. The list below is made up of the best FREE scripts available, they are all of the highest quality and more or less easy to configure. Give them a try.
I have tried and tested the top 22, and aim to try the rest, because to be honest they look pretty cool.

1. Lightbox 2 (http://www.huddletogether.com)

Description:Lightbox is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It’s a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.
Technology:Lightbox 2 uses the Prototype Framework and Scriptaculous Effects Library.

2.Timeline (http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/)

Description:Timeline is a widget for visualizing time-based events. It is like Google Maps for time-based information.
