Blogger in Your Words

Tuesday November 24, 2009

Last month, Blogger asked users to submit the best words that they felt describe the Blogger application today and the best words to describe the Blogger application they'd like to be able to use in the future.

The results are in, and Blogger has published both the current and future words describing the application in word clouds. You can check both word clouds out here.

The most interesting thing to me from these word clouds are the following:

  • Today, Blogger is considered easy to use, fun, free and friendly, but the word 'limited' also shows up as a common thread among users.
  • In the future, Blogger users want more flexibility, customization, and integration, but they don't want to sacrifice ease-of-use.

These are very clear messages from the Blogger user community. Let's wait and see if Blogger listens to the wants and needs that users are making loud and clear.

What do you think? Leave a comment and share your top word to describe Blogger now and your top word to describe the Blogger you want in the future.

Monitor Your Keyword Mentions on Twitter with TweetBeep

Friday November 20, 2009

There is a handy tool that you can use to keep track of mentions of any keywords you choose online called Google Alerts. Many people and businesses use Google Alerts for online reputation management. In other words, they want to know what people are saying online about them, their businesses, their products, or any other keywords they choose.

With the easy to use TweetBeep Twitter app, you can monitor mentions of your chosen keywords on Twitter, too. It just takes a few seconds to set up alerts for your selected keywords using TweetBeep. You can choose to receive hourly or daily emails that provide you with a list of your keyword mentions (other than your own) on Twitter.

You can read my review of TweetBeep here to find out the benefits and limitations of this Twitter app. And don't forget to click the Write a Review button at the end of my review to add your own!
