I did this for a class project this past week and thought I would share it with you. If you or your company are interested in how to monitor how good or bad your company is doing in the world of social media, Radian6 can help you discover actual numbers. This will allow you to decide how best to proceed to make the necessary changes.
Enjoy!
Radian6:
The Radian6 dashboard is a flexible, web-based social media monitoring and engagement platform that lets you view relevant conversations happening around your brand and products in real time. They aggregate those conversations – saving you lots of legwork – and put them into visuals that make analysis and measurement meaningful and actionable. The Radian6 Engagement Console will let you assign, route, and tag posts, and respond to posts from your desktop.
Manage your social media monitoring:
- Comprehensive Coverage will let you scour more than 150 million public sites and sources including blogs and comments, forums, mainstream online news publications, public photos and videos. And they monitor the open Facebook API and they pull in every tweet through the Twitter Firehose. The Radian6 dashboard gathers it all for you in real time, so you’ll never miss a meaningful post.
- Social Media Metrics where you can look at your brand or topic through the unique lens of social media, and the specific measurements and metrics that matter in that context. View coverage and mentions by vote count, comment count, Twitter followers, sentiment, media type and more. Look specifically at influencer data to understand who’s got clout in your industry and what they’re saying.
- Data Filtering and Segmentation can configure your own dashboard widgets or choose from more than 40 preconfigured widgets in the gallery. Drill down into several layers of detailed information on your profile results: segment them by media type, geographic region, language, and engagement statistics. Count links, social media metrics, percent change over time and sources to connect the dots around your social media activity.
- Workflow Management you can use workflow management in the River of News, or in our Engagement Console to scale listening across your organization. Assign posts to team members. Add internal notes, flag priority, categorize and classify posts. Set up an “online caller ID” system with post and source tags, schedule alerts, and report on engagement activity right from the dashboard.
- Social CRM and Web Analytics Integration where you can tie your dashboard into your SalesForce.com database and create contacts, leads, and support cases right from your River of News. Use our Google Analytics, WebTrends and Omniture integrations to view social media results through the lens of web stats. Understand the context and content that drives action on your website, and connect social media with your sales pipeline.
- Easy Set-Up so you can take advantage of the Quickstart topic profile set-up tool and Widget Gallery to get up and running in the dashboard quickly. Select topic profile keywords, then quickly apply filters and get an estimated monthly result volume. Once your topic profile is set, use the Widget Gallery to build your dashboard and get started tracking and analyzing in no time.
- Automated Sentiment Analysis you can get a first glance at whether chatter about your topic is positive, negative, or neutral with automated sentiment analysis. Specify sentiment keywords in your topic profile, and use your dashboard widgets to analyze macro trends and understand sentiment changes over time. And of course, manually adjust sentiment results to fine tune them to your criteria.
- Historical Data with 30 days of immediate historical data is available with each topic profile, and long-range historical data is available upon request. Every month, your historical results on active profiles accrue in an unlimited archive at no additional cost. That means you can access, analyze, and report on your profile’s entire history, for as long as it’s active.
- Easy Reporting for sharing data and insights from your Radian6 topic profile is simple. Copy your dashboard to your teammates or supervisors to show them what you’re hearing and seeing, and how your activities are impacting results. Build and save multiple dashboards to segment and easily view data, and download or email dashboard, widget, or engagement reports.
- Enterprise-level Scalability where the Radian6 dashboard integrates seamlessly with the Engagement Console to bring social media monitoring, engagement, and analysis to every desktop in your company. Both work in concert to feed data into your profile for tracking, reporting and analysis — and guarantee that your social media teams are in sync on the information that matters most to them.
