CyberAlert Launches Blog Monitoring Service
CyberAlert, Inc., a media monitoring company, announced the launch of BlogSquirrel, a new service that enables businesses to monitor the contents of more than 100,000 blogs. Subscribers to the tracking service automatically receive daily (or more frequent) e-mail alerts on new blog postings that contain the client's specified keywords and phrases. As businesses recognize the increasing influence of Weblogs (blogs) on issues and corporate reputation, interest in tracking blogs has increased dramatically in the past few months.By searching and reporting on a comprehensive cross-section of blogs, BlogSquirrel (http://www.cyberalert.com/blogmonitoring.html) offers an effective "early warning system" to identify problems and issues that may threaten corporate or brand reputation or that present new opportunities for product development or business growth. According to president and CEO William J. Comcowich, CyberAlert developed the blog-monitoring service at the request of several current clients, including a leading business consulting company and a major automobile manufacturer, both of whom beta-tested and now subscribe to the new service. CyberAlert also monitors more than 20,000 online news sources worldwide in 17 languages, using its proprietary software to automatically read and clip more than 1 million pages of news content each day. In addition, CyberAlert's Netpinions 2.0 service monitors an array of consumer-generated media including more than 60,000 Usenet news groups and more than 30,000 message boards, forums, and discussion groups.
