Join the Social Media Monitoring group on LinkedIn
23 February 2010, 10:51 pmConsider this a formal invitation to join the new Social Media Monitoring group on LinkedIn.
After examining the different LinkedIn groups that touch on this subject, it’s clear that not one discusses strategic online listening in a general way. Actually, most groups are directly linked to a monitoring platform.
My goal is to fill the void and, much like the @all4monitoring twitter account we’ve got going, create a destination where we can discuss all related topics, stories and case studies, albeit in a much more in-depth manner.
Right now, you’ll see that there are a couple of news feeds being pulled into the group. These are mostly from different social media monitoring company blogs. If you have suggestions for others, I’d be happy to add those as well. There are already a few discussion thread open, but, obviously, I’d love to see you add your own. And make sure to add your name and info to the “Roll Call” thread, which is designed to help everyone get to know each other.
On “Social Media Monitoring Mondays”, we’ll start a new thread and encourage a new discussion every week. We’ll try to make these threads timely, topical and relevant to current news.
To share information emerging from this group, please use the #SMMLI (Social Media Monitoring LinkedIn) hashtag. Don’t be shy to spread the joy!
Also, we invite you to learn more about monitoring at socialmediamonitoring.ca. This site delivers an easy-to-read explanation of the importance of listening and its Social Media Monitoring Tool Directory (#smmtd) has often been cited for being one of the most comprehensive lists of monitoring services on the web. In fact, there are now over 115 free and paid tools indexed there.
Hope to see you on LinkedIn. I look forward to making the Social Media Monitoring group active and vibrant!
