Have you ever wanted to monitor your social media buzz? Maybe you have or maybe you haven’t, regardless, you’ve wanted to keep track of something, a search term, a product, etc. A great of way of doing that would be to use one of the following 5 social monitoring tools:

• socialmention offers Real-time social media search and analysis
• BlogPulse is a great tool to search blogs and current trends
• Omgili is a forum search engine that lets you find communities, message boards, discussion threads about any topic
• Google Alerts is a real-time/daily email alert tool that can be configured to track any search phrase using Google indexing
• Twitter is very handy for tracking real-time buzz

There are more tools available if you search hard and long enough. If you’d like to have any others listerd here, just give me a shout! Thanks.

• Spamfighter antispam program

For more, you’re gonna have to Google it or sign up with Consumer Reports.
