Which flavor of results do you like best?

by Andy Beal / Posted in Trackur News

With our easy to use dashboard, we’ve always made it easy for you to select the different sources you wish to see in your dashboard results. In our quest to make Trackur the easiest and most comprehensive social media monitoring tool you’ll ever use, we just made it even easier to view only the sources that are of interest to you. Now, you can select which source you wish to view without having to re-run your search each time. Simply head to the sorting options and click the new “Source” view: Once you’ve made your choice, you see only results

Updated Insights: view beyond the past 24 hours!

by Andy Beal / Posted in Trackur News

It has been four years since we added Insights to your Trackur dashboard. We’ve made some major improvements over that time, but the one that has always escaped us: giving you more than just the past 24 hours of data. Today, we finally cracked that nut! As of today, you can switch your Insights view between 24hrs, 7 days and 30 days. With this change, you can get a better idea of how your reputation–and online mentions–have trended. In addition, you can now download each of those views to a PDF report. Why did it take so long? It’s a

Updates: Trackur API v2.0 and Improved Custom Feeds

by Andy Beal / Posted in Trackur News

Over the past few months we have been hard at work revamping our Senfluence Full Media Monitoring API. Not only have we improved all of our back-end crawling and parsing, we added new features and greatly simplified the API structure. Here are the highlights: Request caching – Requests for the same information within a 30 second period are set to be cached, allowing instant retrieval of unchanged result lists. More filters – Results can now be filtered by sentiment and/or country. No forced request structure – Gone is the preset /api_key/keyword/limit/offset/etc/etc/etc/ format, which caused numerous issues for filtering by source when

Bill Cosby’s meme request backfires

by Erin Jones / Posted in Trackur News

Earlier this week, an attempt for lighthearted humor quickly turned sour when Bill Cosby’s Facebook page posted a link to a meme generator, saying “go ahead, meme me!”  I don’t know about you, but if I were facing public scrutiny for multiple decades of rape allegations, this is likely not the route I’d go for lighthearted entertainment. Lucky for Cosby, submissions to the Facebook page had to be approved before publishing, and his team quickly realized what was happening and removed the post from the page.  In typical Internet fashion, however, the issue didn’t end here.  Many took the idea

by Andy Beal / Posted in Trackur News

We’ve long offered APIs for our social media monitoring, but with today’s launch of Senfluence, we’re expanding our offering of “big data” APIs.

With the launch, we’re adding our Lite Media Monitoring plan, which gets you our social media monitoring data for just $470 a month. We also have a bootstrapped version for start-ups that starts at just $270! There’s also our Sentiment & Influence Analysis API–which we’re dropping in price to just $370 a month. This

A quick update on Tumblr

by Andy Beal / Posted in Trackur News

Just a heads-up that we’ve decided to provide Tumblr as a separate source to monitor. Previously, it was part of our News/Blogs source, but we realized that for some popular/generic keywords (iPhone etc) it could generate more noise than signal. With this small change, you will be able to decide if Tumblr is a source that you wish to monitor for your keywords.

An improvement to Trackur’s influence and sharing metrics

by Andy Beal / Posted in Trackur News

We have some cool new updates to share with you! We’ve just rolled out an improved Influence Rank screen,  with data that should be more valuable in gauging the influence/authority of a web site discussing your keyword. As Alexa data continues to deteriorate, we’ve instead partnered with Majestic to help us to fine tune our influence metrics. As you can see, we’re still showing your an overall Influence Rank score, screenshot, and website title. We’re now also sharing: Size – the number of pages the site has in the search engines Authority – the number web sites linking to the site. Popularity

Positive, negative, & neutral percentages at a glance

by Andy Beal / Posted in Trackur News

While your Trackur dashboard makes it easy for you to see the sentiment of any result–positive, neutral, negative–we continually strive to make your life easier. Today, we’re adding an at-a-glance sentiment score for each of your saved searches. Now, instead of trying to figure out the overall sentiment for your saved search, you can quickly and easily see a summary. Et voila! We hope this small improvement helps you to keep an eye on the overall tone–and warn you of any dangerous shifts in sentiment.
