Are you a google alert type of person or more of a glass at the door person? I asked this question of a ton of people on twitter and my other non-profit hookups and here was the response. How many of these are you using to listen to the conversations people are having about your non-profit on online networks? Did I miss any? Use the comments to let me know.
– Backtype
– Twitter, Facebook, forums, and RSS and forms in our pages… but also CROWDSourcing
– sm2
– Twitscoop, google alerts, google, perspctv.com
– Keotag.com, twitter, delicious, youtube, technorati, digg
– Google Alerts, Technorati, search.twitter.com, Delicious.
– Google Blog Alerts Beta
What is crowdsourcing? Heard of it, but can you explain?
We are a for profit company, but I work with non-profits through our Enlighten Together program. I use TweetScan (Google Alerts for Twitter) for keywords. Not familiar with sm2, perspectv or Keotag so thanks for the new listening devices to check out!
Crowdsourcing? What is that?
Congrats -you won a t-shirt!
