Online reputation and buzz monitoring

You wait ages for some interesting social media monitoring stuff to come your way, and then, lo and behold, two things come along at once.

First up - yesterday's social media measurement camp, arranged by Will McInnes (background to it on Nixon Mcinnes' social media goodness site, and hosted by Helen and those nice people at Dare.

I've posted on measurement camp before. It's a bloody marvel. 20 odd good people - and I mean good as in good at their jobs, and good as in, just plain good (and not really odd at all) - in a room helping eachother define, agree and generate metrics, which will in turn help us all demonstrate how this new-fangled communications technique is worthwhile to the people who pay our wages/bills. I came away with a buzz about buzz. And a nice warm glow inside. Which doesn't happen after every meeting.

Good to meet a few people there too who I sort of know online - Ben Matthews, Tom Malcolm, Amanda Rose, and bump into some of the regulars - Quozza, Adrian Moss and Drew Benvie too.

And then today, E-consultancy publish their "online reputation and buzz monitoring buyer's guide". They've hit the mark, those E-consultancy peeps. It reads well. it's pretty authoratitive and seems to list virtually all of the key players in the market.

And I'm quoted extensively within it. Which is nice. Hope I make some sense. Pummel me here if not.
