I totally misconstrued the assignment for the week...I thought we were supposed to review the Blogs, Mashups, & Wikis article...instead of looking at the list of blogs Suellen suggested. Anyway here is my report on one of the blog posts that I found interesting from the list.
From the blog of Robert Scoble I viewed a YouTube video by Martin Seibert, creator and CEO of Twenty Feet, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkKxgMigPGs. This German company is a statistical aggregating company that offers insight into how your Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts are doing by connecting to each. As your initial history grows, Twenty Feet will create statistics that describe to you in graphs and pie charts how your media is doing by the clicks on the links that are posted over a 3 month period. Each result is given a particular icon on the activity screen that shows likes/dislikes, the number of people who are subscribing and unsubscribing on any given date; data that is extremely helpful to the business community.
Mr. Seibert mentioned that stats are updated once-a-day which is not always enough for people who want instant gratification...a situation that they are hoping to improve. One advantage is that when something happens out of the ordinary (whether negative or positive), any spike will result in an email to you, which you can then investigate and perhaps connect the date with a specific activity.
Most of the funds for the company currently come from German web agencies, but with the increasing number of subscribers they hope to create some income on their own in the near future.
