Social media enthusiast like you and me love to find new tools to increase engagement on our favorite social networks. Keeping on top of current events and trends on sites like Twitter and Facebook is also a great way to conduct research for our blog posts. Here are a few of my favorite tools to help curate content, sort through the noise, and focus our attention on the information and the users that are critical to the success of our blogs.

Twylah – In essence, Twylah is like your personal Facebook Fan Page only it’s for your Twitter stream. Pretty sweet right? Use Twylah to monitor your own behavior on Twitter. Your Twylah page will list the topics you Tweet about most often and this way you can ensure that you sculpt your stream with keyword rich Tweets for maximum SEO benefits. I spoke with the founder of Twylah, Eric Kim last week about what’s coming next. He said to be on the lookout in the coming weeks like analytics and he’s very hopeful we’ll soon have the capability to monetize our Twylah Fan Pages. Check out this video introduction to Twylah that I recorded for you and learn how to send a “Power Tweet”:

Pluggio – You’ll enjoy using Pluggio because of the user friendly interface and the plethora of functions you can access for Twitter account management. Pluggio can suggest new users to follow based on your preferred keywords and after using Pluggio for a few days, it will also suggest users to unfollow. On the right hand side of the interface, you’ll find over 20 short videos describing how to use each feature. Pick the feature you like and watch a 1 or 2 minute tutorial before you start your desired task. Scheduling tweets provides even more options than the popular Bufferapp allowing you to schedule different tweet times for every day of the week. You can authorize Facebook, LinkedIn and a host of other services via Ping.fm and discover new content by monitoring select RSS feeds.

Summify – signup for Summify alerts covering your Twitter, Facebook and Google RSS feeds and an email will show up in your inbox everyday with the top 10 stories from across these networks. It’s a great time saver and you can survive in a nice little “social media bubble” by reading and Tweeting exclusively from the list of posts in your Summify alerts for a few days if necessary. You can easily tweak the content in your Summify alerts and tailor them to your needs. Just, give the Thumbs down to bury any news sources you no longer have interest in.

Social Mention – is another email alert service that “monitors 80+ social media properties directly including: Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, YouTube, Digg, Google, etc.” BONUS TIP: Go to “Tools” and get a content rich sidebar widget from Social Mention with a scrolling search bar based on any topic you choose.

StumbleUpon – This may come as a surprise, because most people might not think of StumbleUpon as a Twitter app, but when you take a deeper look you’ll see how it works. Connect your Twitter account to StumbleUpon and take advantage of their custom URL shortener – Su.pr. Share stories on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn directly from the SU toolbar. On Twitter, links are shortened with a cutomized Su.pr link. Log in to to the Su.pr website to discover the number of likes and other Stumblers who retweeted your content!

Continue to Monitor Social Media Engagement

Check out these other tools to help you monitor engagement and evaluate your effectiveness at getting your message across:

EdgeRankChecker.com - shows you the Edgerank score of your Facebook Page

Klout -rates influence on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and recently added a gaming aspect by allowing users to award each other a +K on topics they Tweet

PeerIndex – looks at authority and reputation across the 3 major networks

TwentyFeet – makes you aware of changes in engagement you might otherwise miss and integrates YouTube, bit.ly, and MySpace alongside the big 3

Paper.li - our favorite Twitter daily newspaper now incorporates Facebook searches too :)

Twilerts – track specific topics and emails you at given intervals

Google Alerts enhanced with YoLink – you already know about Google alerts but take them a step further by adding Yolink for a much more comprehensive report

Have you tried any of these yet? Pick at least one of them and take advantage of the wealth of information they provide. Just wait and see and in no time at all, you’ll have everything you need to become a social media research Ninja for your blog.

    I never realised how many tools there were available to monitor stats and what not on social media.
    You are definitely one who is constantly in touch with the current topics in the blogosphere so these tips are something that people should definitely take on board if they are wondering why they are always ‘behind the times’

    Great post, and as always – engagingly written :) (perfect place for it then hey)

Hesham put me in touch with him during the early stages of Twylah and based on the feedback he received he’s got a pretty sweet app on his hands with Twylah. Let me know if you have any specific questions about it. Thanks!

    Hey Argie! My Facebook page is new and I still ended up with a great score. It takes more time to cultivate engagement on Facebook than Twitter. I think it’s because the @mentions work better on Twitter. Oh well just a thought that popped in my head. :)

    Thanks!

      Wow ! That’s great .. I’ve got only 2 for my FB page on my anime blog and 3 for my SEO blog.. I guess I’m gonna have to work it out. BTW Ileane, can I ask for an invite at Twylah?? Please ?? Just want to try it..

  8. (June 13, 2011 at 6:29 am) | Permalink

    Great Ileane! You just made up our social media monitoring to the higher level with these tools. I haven’t use a lot of them because I am content with one of its kind. But Yolink captured my attention. I think I gonna have to try this one,. I’ll be back with my opinion about Yolink later.. thanks

    Hi Kira, I’m so glad to see you checking out Yolink. Set-up your alerts for your Twitter name, your blog name or your favorite topics. You will end up with Google Alerts AND Yolink alerts and believe me, Yolink will fine tune your report significantly better than Google. One of the things you’ll see is that Yolink highlights your keyword for each occurrence throughout an article. It’s awesome!

    • (June 14, 2011 at 12:47 am) | Permalink

      Oh I have my Yolink powered Google Alert now! Yeah you were right, it’s a some kind of enhance and a more relevant alert system via Google. I liked it, it’s more intelligent that the normal Google Alert. Thanks for sharing Ileane and Goodluck!

        That’s great news Kira!
        Yolink has quite a few other features too. When you go to their site, you’ll see the options for creating enhanced searches for “Indeed” – which is an employment search site. So if you are looking for new clients, you can find them much more quickly with the Yolink enhanced searches of Indeed.

    I used to check monitor social media engagement on a daily basis, but weekly is how often I check them now. It’s too much to do when I could rather engage on BE or create content. They ARE important, but spending too much time on them could be used more effectively somewhere else.

      Ivin, you’re right. Once a week is a great schedule. Since I use so many of these I rotate from one day to the next, but the important thing is that you monitor engagement at some point during your progress. Thanks for the tip.

    With all these tools under ones arsenal, what can go wrong, right :) Really, there are quite a few that I have not yet used. One of them in particular is Twylah (which I read about on your blog) and I am looking forward to taking it for a spin, once I get the invite I requested. Great list Ileane… This is one of the reasons why your friend needed “coaching” from you, lol

    BTW, I just posted a new article on Twittnotes about a WordPress plugin that tracks social media performance. Nifty tool.. Maybe if you try it, you can include it here on your list :)

      DiTesco, it might take a few days for your Twylah invite to be approved because of the high volume of requests that they are receiving.
      It seems that Eric scored an interview with Robert Scoble which cause the popularity of Twylah to explode.
      Based on what I found in Twylah, I was surprised to learn that one of topics I discuss often is SEO. The first person that popped into my head when I saw that was you :) I’m not certain if you’re to blame for that though LOL!
      Be sure to share your Twylah with me when yours is live.

      Thanks!

  13. (June 13, 2011 at 9:33 am) | Permalink

    Really enlightening Ileane I just wonder how all those socializing systems interrelate or not and whether dependency on networks correlate with seo ?

      Paul, that’s a great question. I know that social engagement is being taken into account by Google in terms of SEO and I assume the other search engines use it as well. For someone who is trying to target a specific audience, TwentyFeet and Twylah work well together in helping you determine if you’re having the “right” type of engagement. For example, I often tweet about fashion even though that’s not my target audience. If I had too much content focused on fashion I would get a signals that I need to scale back.
      If you take a look at my Twylah page http://ileane.basicblogtips.com you might see fashion related content but the keyword “fashion” doesn’t show up as a focus topic for me.
      Hope that answers your question, if not let me know.

  14. (June 13, 2011 at 10:36 am) | Permalink

    Wow Ileane! Great list of social media tools. A couple I have not heard such as Twylah (interesting name btw) and Pluggio. You always seem to be in the know of these cool and useful tools. ;-)

    Will be sure to check them out. Thanks for sharing them my dear.

    Thanks also for the reminder on the SU app. I have it installed, but hid it some time ago and just completely forgot about it. It really is a powerful tool.

      Michele, Pluggio is an awesome Twitter management tool that seems to slip under the radar quite often.

      Here’s how I found out about Pluggio (keep in mind this was before the latest round of changes that Twitter rolled out). I have one Twitter account (at work) that I allow Twitter to send me an email every time someone follows me. Those emails would indicate if there was a following tool being used by the person. One day I saw Pluggio and I was immediately curious!
      Well, Twitter displays the following tools when they send the new follower email, so I’m looking for another way to track that info. When I find one, be on the look out for another list post on the topic :)

    To my mind the trick is identifying the best ones for whatever your particular needs are and getting to know how to use them to maximum effect.

You have the right idea – try these tools until you find the one that works best for you. What I end up doing is a rotation. Some days I’ll look at Summify and on other days I’ll focus on Twilerts. It’s good to mix them up. Thanks for the comments and the RT’s, have a great weekend.

    Hi Ileane,
    Very interesting tool. I will have to look into this more. Thanks to Jym Tarrant for sharing the link to this post. I have it featured at an online newspaper I started. An idea I received from Mari Smith. Sharing Jym’s content on it led me here. Glad I came. Twylah looks very intriguing. I will have to add you in my next updated addition.

    thanks

      Hi Joe, nice to see you hanging out over here at Blog Engage, I’m glad Jym told you about Twylah. I’m a fan of Mari Smith too and it sounds like you’re online newspaper is something I should take a look at. Feel free to embed the video if you want. Thanks.

    I’ve discovered quite a few tools I’ve never heard of in your post, Ileane.

    Now whether I use them or not is a different story. :) I’d like to try them though, that’s for sure.

    But when you integrate and you want great service, you will pay per month. I guess around $20 per month but it will make sense. It will help you in the long run.

    Hi Ileane,

    So glad I found your site. Great information and thanks for the tools. I sent you a friend request on FB but didn’t see an option to leave you a message. Would love to connect and maybe meet sometime since we are close by each other.

    Have a wonderful day and thanks again for providing all these tools. I will take a look at some of them ASAP.

      Hi JoMi, It seems like there is a new tool every day that we can use to engage with one another through social media and monitor our influence. It’s really great the way technology has advanced and tools like this help us build relationships and make stronger connections with our online friends that we could never have done in the past.
