Create a Listening Dashboard for your Organization

by Amy Sample Ward for NetSquared

This month's Net2 Think Tank question asks, "How do you stay up-to-date online?"  There are so many blogs, news sources, and conversations happening at the same time, every day, and the chances that you'll be able to find them all without trying is pretty unlikely.  There are hundreds of millions of blogs according to Technorati, and that's just blogs! Think of all the places your organization's name, staff, projects, programs or focus area could come up in the news, in campaigns, or in online conversations. 

To stay on top of it all, I suggest you create a listening dashboard for your organization - and here's how to do it!
