Great news! I've been using Recon.io for a couple of months now and found the alerting functionality really useful. It's basically Google Alerts for Twitter: just enter your product/company name and have one less feed to worry about.<p>Their database of journalists is also quite valuable already. I've entered "analytics" as the industry keyword and I get a couple of alerts every week for similar product launches covered by well known journalists.<p>In the future I'd love to see more history and aggregates on the dashboard (now only shows tweets from the last 7 days).
Is this actually just only for startups, or is anyone eligible who might get under 500 mentions a month? I work for a mid-sized company that isn't really startuppy anymore, but I think the marketing folks would love to try this out. I don't think we get >500 mentions a month, but if we did, I could definitely see them making the investment.
The Hipmunk demo miscategorizes most of the "neutral" tweets: <a href="http://recon.io/demo/neutral" rel="nofollow">http://recon.io/demo/neutral</a><p>About 50% of those are easily positive with quite a few more that could fall into the positive category without much debate.
This is good news - thanks guys. I tried www.recon.io out for my project a few months ago and it was great but I think my trial expired or something. Going to take a look at it again and take advantage of the startup plan.<p>Cheers,<p>@Skram of @MappyHealth
Not really free for startups. Free for anyone under 500 mentions a month. I normally think of startups as companies who are less than 2 years old and under 10 employees.
Just tried this for my project, the alerting looks like it will be most valuable to me. Hopefully I can stop monitoring my saved Twitter search and just use this.
