Chris Wilson I use RSS as much as possible so that I can get everything in one spot. Here are a few free tools: Google Alerts (combined with Google Reader), Boardreader, Boardtracker, BackType, SocialMention.com, Twitter Search on specific terms (again, use RSS feeds on searches). I also pay $1 a year for BrandsEye (also fed into Google Reader) as a safeguard to make sure I haven't missed anything. You might also find The 8 Stages of Listening valuable - http://freshpeel.com/7s7 Hope this helps.

Rachel Vincent I'm looking around for good social media monitoring and analytics tools for my startup. I've been looking at Radian6, Scout Labs, and Sysomos. I'd be really interested to hear if anyone has used them what they like or dislike about them or if you have suggestions of other tools you like. Thanks!
