Active Listening - Part 2

In our last Weekly Tip, we took a look at Google Alerts. This week, we're going to cover, Whos Talkin, another tool that lets you listen to what's being said about your company or other topics of interest.

Whos Talkin.com is a social media search tool that searches data from over 60 of the world's most popular social media gateways. It searches blogs, news, networks, videos, images, forums, and tags. And, if you want to narrow your search and only look at specific social services (for example, only blogs), it allows you to do this as well.

To begin using Whos Talkin, go to Whostalkin.com and enter the term you want to find in the search box. Keep in mind that if you enter a multi-word query such as "international business," you must put quotation marks around the words.

For more information on Whos Talkin, there is a very quick instructional video at http://www.whostalkin.com/blog/news/new-whostalkincom-video-demo/.
