Trackur Launches Free Version Of Its Social Media Monitoring Tool

Trackur, a bootstrapped startup founded by Internet marketing consultant and writer Andy Beal, up until now offered only paid versions of its online reputation management and social media monitoring tools, albeit with free trial periods.

Today, the fledgling company is introducing an entirely gratis version of the Web-based software suite, giving marketers and small business owners a compelling reason to want to check it out and see why basic Google Alerts simply may not be cutting it anymore.

When you enter a keyword in Trackur’s search system, the service will look for mentions in both ‘mainstream’ and social media, tweets, videos, images, tags and so on. You’ll get a nice overview of where that keyword – which would generally be a company, brand or product name – has been mentioned along with some graphs tracking such mentions over time. You can save a search, which means Trackur will run it automatically every 30 minutes and notify you of new mentions across all of the media it tracks.

With any of the paid versions of Trackur, you can save multiple search keywords to your personal dashboard, but the free version will only allow you to do that for one. For a lot of small business owners or marketers, that will actually be sufficient, although the startup evidently hopes they’ll be tempted to pay for an upgrade at some point.

Alternatives to Trackur are plenty and include services offered by companies like Radian6, Visible Technologies and Attentio.

Trackur is self-funded by Beal, who says he currently serves about 15,000+ users, a mixture of people benefiting from free trials and those who are effectively paying for the product. Beal declined to break down those numbers, but says his 3-person startup, which was founded early 2008, has been operating profitably since day one. He also told me he’s been approached by venture capitalists in the past who’ve offered to invest, but that he told most of them that he wouldn’t even know what to do with $100,000 if it were given to him.

God, I love bootstrapped ventures.

10 Essential Chrome Extensions for Web Developers

This series is supported by Rackspace, the better way to do hosting. Learn more about Rackspace’s hosting solutions here.

As a web developer, you’re probably among the earliest adopters of new browser technologies. Google’s relatively new Chrome browser is one of those products that developers jumped all over as soon as it became available, but its initial lack of extensions was a dealbreaker for many.

Now extensions are supported in Chrome and some of the tools you’re accustomed to using in Firefox have become available, plus a few unique to Chrome. We’ve compiled a list of ten of the most useful Chrome extensions for web developers right here; if you use these extensions, you might even be able to make Chrome your main workhorse. Maybe!

Look at the list and give it a try — and if there are any great ones that we missed, be sure and share them with us and the other readers in the comments.


1. Firebug Lite


Arguably the most popular Firefox extension for web developers, Firebug lets you look at and edit the HTML, CSS and JavaScript of any page on the fly without leaving your browser. Firebug Lite is a scaled-down version of Firebug made for Chrome. You can inspect a page for errors then quickly edit to fix them.

Though Firebug Lite doesn’t have all the same features as Firebug, it has most of the essentials, and there’s a console interface for power users.


2. IE Tab


Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser is not at all popular with web developers, but it’s by far the most popular browser for the general population. With IE Tab you can open any website in a tab that’s actually running Internet Explorer instead of Chrome. You can make sure your website runs correctly for those millions of people who aren’t using Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera.


3. Eye Dropper


With EyeDropper, you can find useful information on any color on a website you’re viewing in Chrome. Click the extension button and a color wheel interface drops down. From there, you can click the color picker button, then click anywhere on the site to see where the color for that pixel falls in the wheel, what its RGB levels are, and what its HTML color code is.


4. Chrome SEO


Tapping the Chrome SEO button after the extension has been installed will give you website information that’s important for search engine optimization. You can check backlinks, traffic measures like the Alexa Rank and Google PageRank, popularity on social bookmarking sites like Delicious, and more.


5. Lorem Ipsum Generator


The Lorem Ipsum Generator extension will generate filler text for your websites so you can make sure your formatting works well without wasting time typing several paragraphs of text. This extension is lightweight and minimalistic, so it’s easy to use and it won’t take up a lot of memory. That means it’s easy to pop in and out of as needed.


6. Resolution Test


Resolution Test’s purpose is right there in the name — it re-sizes the browser window to show what your website will look like at various popular screen resolutions. As a web developer, you probably have a very high-resolution display. Good for you! But most of the visitors to your site don’t; this extension will help you make sure the site’s formatting looks ok to them.


7. Speed Tracer


Speed Tracer uses the browser’s built-in metrics tools to record how much time your web application is spending on various tasks so you can find out what the hang-up is if your site is running slowly. It can tell you how much time the browser is spending interpreting layout, Javascript, and other details.

The only downside to this useful tool is that for it to work, you have to run the browser with the command line flag “–enable-extension-timeline-api.” But if you’re a developer, that’s probably not a big issue, right?


8. MeasureIt!


MeasureIt! is pretty straightforward — it gives you the dimensions (pixel width and height) of any element present in a website you’re looking at. Like a lot of the other extensions on this list, it was previously available for Firefox.


9. Pendule


Pendule pops up an easy-to-use, well-laid-out control panel full of miscellaneous tasks helpful to developers. Examples include reloading or disabling CSS, viewing JavaScript scripts, hiding images, a color picker, a display ruler, viewing source, and several script validators. It works well as your basic, catch-all web developer’s extension.


10. BuiltWith


BuiltWith gives you a profile of the website you’re hanging out at, including a list of all the technologies it can find there. It will tell you what widgets the site is using, which analytics tracker the webmaster is using, which frameworks are present, which advertising platforms are in use, and so on.

Crear contenido para tu blog pensando en social media

Crear contenido para tu blog pensando en social mediaEscribir para la web es un arte vinculado con la experiencia de crear contenido de calidad, que sea atractivo para el lector pero también un arte que debe difundirse en todos los medios que en la actualidad utilizamos para comunicarnos; escribimos un post que luego promovemos a través de las redes sociales porque sabemos que son las vías adecuadas para llegar al público que nos interesa, pero la tarea no es sencilla.

Los blogs siguen siendo la plataforma más fácil para gestionar contenido, pero algo que definitivamente ha cambiado es la manera en la que se consume ese contenido publicado en el blog. Resulta que ahora debemos escribir pensando no sólo en el lector del blog que esta suscrito a través de RSS, también es necesario incluir en cada entrada las opciones sociales para promover, compartir el contenido y hasta en los diversos dispositivos móviles de acceso.

Elementos sociales vinculados al contenido

Este ejemplo de Social Media Stats diseñado por Josh Hallett y publicado en Voce Communications nos permite visualizar los elementos sociales vinculados al contenido que generamos en cada entrada de nuestro blog. El ejemplo fue aplicado a la promoción de un evento, pero también podemos aplicar mucho de los vínculos al contenido de un post de nuestro blog.

Social Media Stats

En la gráfica se observa que al crear una entrada en un blog es importante pensar en los vínculos que tendrá con las redes sociales, tomando en cuenta que cada una tiene acciones diferentes de distrubución de contenido. Vicular los servicios sociales y hacer que nuestro blog sea amigable para los mismos, permitirá que tengamos acceso a mayor información en el comportamiento estadístico de la distrubución del contenido y analizar las tendencias de consumo.

Comprender el ecosistema social

Entonces conectar nuestro contenido a las redes sociales o distribuirlo a través de ellas no solo es mandar a través de nuestra cuenta de Twitter o Facebook el link al nuevo post. En realidad se requiere más que eso, debemos conocer el ecosistema social, comprender cómo se dialoga con quienes consumen contenido y los canales en que se consume ahora la información.

Un aspecto importante es no caer en la dinámica de Spam en donde utilizas los medios sociales para mandar links de forma masiva, porque eso no es saludable. También debes brindar opciones sociales dentro de tu blog para que sea incluso el mismo usuario quien se encargue de promover tu contenido utilizando las herramientas sociales.

Half of Messages on Twitter Aren’t in English [STATS]

Data intelligence and research company Semiocast conducted a study, based on 2.8 million tweets gathered over a period of 48 hours in February, which showed that only half of messages on Twitter are in English.

To identify the languages, Semiocast used technology that can identify the language in which short messages are written, differentiating between 41 languages in all major writing systems.

Besides English, which accounts for some 50% of all messages on Twitter, the other most prominent languages on Twitter are Japanese (14% of messages), Portuguese (9%), Malay (6%) and Spanish (4%). Looking even further, Italian, Dutch and German each account for 1% – 2% of all messages on Twitter.

The folks at Semiocast claim that English had a two-third share on Twitter back in the first half of 2009, which points out to strong international growth for Twitter in the last six or so months. It’s good news for Twitter, which has lately been struggling to retain its high growth rates from 2008.
