Need to stay on top of what’s being tweeted about you and your competitors? Interested in growing your community by discovering and engaging with the people that are best aligned with your organization or brand? If so, this webinar will provide you with a wealth of free resources that are being leveraged everyday by people ranging from small business owners to Fortune 500 brand managers.

When people talk about promising uses for the rich data stream available from services like Twitter and Facebook, discussion frequently turns to brand monitoring.

Professionals with discretionary budgets desire timely (and polar) commentary that surrounds products and companies. In addition, managers are often required to take immediate and appropriate action with limited information. The right decisions can build fortunes, the wrong ones can doom careers (and companies.)

Twitter data is uniquely suited to these applications. The immediacy of the information flow, along with the ability to detect geography and relative influence is unparalleled. In this session, we’ll see how leaders in both spaces are taking advantage of what Twitter has to offer.
