How Well Do You Listen and Respond?
These are two of my favorite ways to monitor and listen to what people are saying, and we’ve covered both of them in more depth in previous blog posts.
TweetDeck : I have several different searches that are set up in TweetDeck , and I get real-time notifications when someone mentions my name or several of the projects that I’m involved in.
Yahoo Pipes : More sophisticated monitoring with Yahoo Pipes looks for mentions of a list of keywords across many different social media sites, blogs, Twitter and more.
Responding
Now that...?

Yahoo OneConnect Brings Free SMS to Your iPhone
iPhone/iPod touch only: Yahoo OneConnect is a free application that brings a handful of communication and social networking tools to your iPhone or iPod touch. Off the bat, the most notable thing about OneConnect is that it supports sending SMS messages to contacts in your Yahoo Address Book (provided you have a phone number in their contact card). That means you can text all day long from your iPhone (or iPod touch, if you have a Wi-Fi connection) without taking any texts away from your meager AT&T SMS plan.

Filter Your RSS Feeds with Yahoo Pipes
My favorite filtering techniques involve Yahoo Pipes , which looks and sounds much more complicated than it is. Jackson West described Yahoo Pipes pretty well when he called them “ hard to grok, but snazzy “; however, Yahoo Pipes doesn’t have to be quite so difficult for people to understand. The first time I looked at Pipes, the interface scared me away until a friend of mine gave me a very quick demo that showed how easy it was to use.

"Flickr Bikes" Photo-Map Locales Across the Globe
For their new "Purple Pedals" campaign, Yahoo has dispatched a handful of GPS-enabled bicycles equipped with cameraphones that automatically shoot and upload photos to Flickr to riders in cities all over the world, from San Francisco to New York and soon, to Singapore, Denmark and the U.K..... Here's my bike's Flickr account , and here's a map of a leisurely ride I took around Mission Bay yesterday here in San Diego. Here's the full map of my bike's rides so far.

How To Monitor Online Conversations
I have a couple of sections in my RSS reader where I keep everything that I’m monitoring, and I make sure that they are the first things I read.
Filter Your Feeds
Filtering RSS feeds through Yahoo Pipes or other tools is a good way to make sure that your monitoring dashboard contains relevant content and not just a list of blogs to read. I use Yahoo Pipes to filter for mentions of my name, my company and efforts that I am involved with across various sites (Twitter, FriendFeed, blogs, Flickr , video sites, etc.

How to Mine Twitter for Information
It is great for quick searches to find specific pieces of information, watching trending topics, and persistent vanity searches for your name or company. While I do use the search engine to type in queries, the real power is in using RSS feeds for searches and running them through Yahoo Pipes for additional filtering. In many cases, I use Yahoo Pipes to loop through a series of keywords from a CSV file to search Twitter for each of those keywords and monitor the results as an RSS feed in my reader.

Superbowl start time on Yahoo:
on Google :
I clicked on a few places with Google, and one site did not resolve. The others were frustrating. Yahoo had the answer right at the top.

Make a Monitoring Dashboard to Track Online Conversations
In addition to the dashboard technology, I use tools like Yahoo Pipes and PostRank to help me find relevant content and filter it down to the pieces that are the most important for my purposes. If you have never used Yahoo Pipes, I have several two-minute Yahoo Pipes video demos that can help you learn what you need to get started.

Yahoo Joins Twitter
And folks keep speculating that Google will buy Twitter (Facebook tried, didn't work out). I think Yahoo might see Twitter as a way to get back to the days of Flickr ...making smart moves that help the company keep its mojo and grow data and community rich services. Not sure how folks at Twitter feel about that. I do know Yahoo has cash, which is better than Facebook stock right about now (see this story as to why ).
Yahoo on getting aTwitter account.

More Efficient RSS Reading
Yahoo Pipes is a great filtering tool , since you can use it to combine many RSS feeds and only display posts that match certain key words that are the most interesting to you.
