Social Media Search

If you're measuring the buzz about your brand (or your client's brand) then I came across this useful new service called http://www.whostalkin.com/. It claims to be a Social Media Search Tool that can help you find conversations, or as they put it:

Our goal is to deliver the most relevant and current conversations happening in the world of social media.

They claim to have a clever algorythm that collates data from over 60 popular social media gateways. Initial tests seem to bring up some previously undiscovered blogs and comments about some of our clients, but its early days and time will tell if it gets taken up by the masses.

Some possible further development ideas could include:

1. An RSS feed of the search results
2. Personal rating/ranking of the results
3. Other ways to filter the results
