Companies that measure online presence

I talk frequently about the importance of using social media to listen to what others say about you, about brands, products, people, services, etc.

Jeremiah Owyang has a great blog post about Companies that Measure Social Media, Influence, and Brand.

Rather than re-create it, I’m publishing this article to link you to his ongoing list of companies engaged in listening and measuring influence. I highly recommend checking it out.

Visit his site, Web Strategy by Jeremiah Owyang, to read his post and check out the online measurement companies.

A New Social Media Conference

And while I’m on the subject of Jeremiah Owyang, I’m pleased to announce he’ll be one of the keynote speakers at a Ragan Communications conference I have helped plan. I’ll also be part of the program.

It’s the Social Media Summit, presented by Ragan Communications at Cisco Systems headquarters in San Jose, Calif., from June 9-11, 2010.

It promises to be one of the best social media conferences of the year.

Guy Kawasaki is also one of the keynote speakers.
