[Insight] Radian6, social networking analysis platform

Kees Romkes - Tuesday 09 June 2009 - 17:28 - 136 x read
In the ever desperate search of creating more insight into the “talk of the town”, I stumbled upon radian6.

It allows you to create a dashboard, using 5 types of widgets to create insight into talk around your brand(s).

These widgets are :

Influence viewer
Creating an oversight of where the biggest “talk” (and who) around your brand is available

River of news
Creating a resultset of your search keywords, with the ability to filter and sort, based on various metrics

Topic Trends
Creating a linear graph with a trend graphic allowing you to compare yourself with competitor buzz for example

Topic Analysis
Almost the same as topic trending, although the drilldown is counted, and can be segmented in several parts.

Conversation Cloud
Creating a tagcloud with topics around the keywords you’ve searched for. Allowing for more drilldowns (and creating other widgets from those tags again)

Radian6.com seems to be offering the best possibilities at the moment, for checking out the “buzz” around your brand in several sources, including :
  • Twitter
  • Flickr
  • Google

And also applies several metric like influence, number of inbound links and several others to create great overviews in several posibilites, like piecharts, graphs and textual overviews.

Possibilities are almost limitless and drilling down into the results is really impressive.

Creating reports, sending them automatically is also very easy and possibly one of the most powerfull tools included into the Radian6 platform is the “workflow” option in the “River of news” widget of radian6.

And I suggest you attend a webinar asap to check out the demo and try it yourself !


Cost ? TBA, I'll keep you posted !

Ik zie geen mogelijkheden m.b.t. een API of iets om tegen aan te praten, maar ik kom morgen even langs om te vragen hoe je dit zou willen integreren, de manier waarop het gepresenteerd wordt ziet er namelijk wel erg strak uit, iets wat goed bij MINDZ.com zou passen.

Overigens ben ik inmiddels ook achter de prijzen, dit gaat om $500,- per maand per zoekprofiel en daarnaast nog $100 per maand per gebruiker, behoorlijke bedragen dus en of dat de voordelen tegenover andere middelen waard is, betwijfel ik erg.

Kees,

I wanted to stop by - finally - and thank you for such a great post on our software, and for the work you put into the accompanying document.

I'm horrendously late in replying (my own fault completely) but wanted to you to know how much I appreciated your post. I was reminded of it again via Twitter today and had to share my thanks as well as my apologies for being so tardy!

Very much appreciate your checking us out, and if I can ever be of assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Cheers,
Amber Naslund
