Social Mention is a search engine that scans major sources of user-generated content such as blogs, comments, news, bookmarks, and microblogging services such as Pownce and Twitter to discover what people are saying about you, a company, a product or any other topic.
Search results are collected from heavily-trafficked social media sources, including Google blog search, Twitter, Delicious, FriendFeed, Flickr, Digg, YouTube etc. and conveniently remixed as a single stream of information. You’ll find this helpful to track your reputation, identify partners & clients, or learn about trends in your field of expertise.
Though I understand the importance of reputation management and gaining more insight about key influencers, isn’t there a more automated method to getting to that contextual content?
So far, not yet – it still requires an individual’s time and effort.
