Great list thanks. Following your blog for a while - the frequency and contextual nature of your posts are great. Good work.
(and of course I dugg it!)
@Tamar - thanks for sticking around for the last session, and thanks for the digg. :-)
Definitely some stuff in this post though that I haven't looked at before, will be bookmarking and sharing for sure. Keep up the great work, Andy!
You continue to provide great value to the community who read and digest your content. Thanks for a good summary, especially for those down under.
I am so bloody tired of seeing weak excuses for 'news' frontpaging digg.....that was 30 seconds of my life Ill never get back :)

It tracks buzz on forums, newsgroups, mailing lists, QnA sites and more discussion based site.
The entire editorial process is driven by one of the best buzz-detection algorithms around.
If you came here from Digg, didn't you read the title and the description first? It explained what you were getting. Then you wasted another 30 precious seconds adding a comment that basically said the article wasted your time - oh the irony.

Try it out if you like.
@Andy, its been awhile since we last spoke.
Although I'm not a proponent of free tools because the aren't as good at depth of social media sourcing, I will suggest one helpful addition to your list of free buzz monitoring tools.
It's actually a bit of a goldmine.
Topix.net has a substantial forum component that isn't searchable through their own site. And although Topix forum posts are searchable through our RepuTrace(TM) product, there is a decent and working "free" alternative (not real-time, and the results can prove to be outdate - TIP: sort by date for best results).
Set-up a custom search using Google-Co-op. Its pretty straightforward - just point Google to the search area. Here is a working example on a search for one of my favourite home improvement centers.

There were a few here that I was unaware of.
@Seocracy - did you even read the list? It’s not a top 10 BS list and it takes more than 30 seconds to read.

Dearest Andy,
Despite what you might expect, my comment here today is not in an effort to further undermine your blog. Rather, I am writing you as a concerned SEO-Citizen who is worried about how your blog is affecting the public reputation of other SEO specialists.
What am I talking about? Well Andy, for starters: one must always use caution when employing terms like 'ironic', or 'irony'. In short, I believe your above use/abuse of the term is somewhat incongruous with usages laid out by most major dictionaries and style guides.
Now, while I'm not typically the kind of person who goes out of his way to lampoon others for misuse of the English language, I am willing to make an exception in the case of your blog.
Why?
Well Andy, it’s because I'm still feeling like you and your blog owe me compensation for that 30 seconds -- wait, no; make that 47 seconds -- I wasted reading the above post way back on August 27th. In short, I've come back looking for a post that will redeem your blog and make it worthy of my praise, and dare I say, a place somewhere near the bottom of my Google feed reader list.
However, after thoroughly reading your posts (and having experienced disturbingly low conversion rates on Splogs of content scraped from your RSS feeds), I am forced to conclude that you will be never be able to atone for your reckless, irresponsible & mind-numbing posts by providing either A) truly relevant & unique content or, at the very least B) content worthy of monetization.
In fact, I have come to the conclusion that, like a bad SAT question, your Blog is to Knowledge what Chinese is to Food: I just feel hungry again shortly after reading it.
So, fellow blogger, in closing let me recommend that you give up this silly little website all together and instead focus entirely on writing lyrics for Alanis Morissette, who I believe shares your liberal opinion concerning the use of rhetorical/literary devices like 'irony'.
Oh, and since I expect you’ll be shutting this blog down after reading this sound advice, would you mind 301 redirecting all your PR 4> pages to www.seocracy.com? Thanks.
All the best, and in good humor,
Seocracy
Good post, as usual. I want to flag one more tool that will help anyone interested in better monitoring. It's called the Buzzmonitor and will parse any RSS feed to add, extract tags, measure authority and let user vote and tag content. I conceived it for the World Bank, it's now available for all to use, in open source. More here: buzzm.worldbank.org

I translated to Italian and added some (few) more tools here:
http://marcobandini2.blogspot.com/2007/10/31-st...
Hope it is not a problem!
Otherwise let me know.
Thanks again!
Perfect for me, as I already use some of them, but some of the others had slipped by me. But no longer!
Thanks, I will be adding them to my stable of tools for everyday use.
Another point - imagine you use these tools and find 500 references to your product/service. You need some structured analysis to gain the insight about what people are saying, who they are, where they talk and the impact that makes.

Thank you for the 26 free tools! I found out about the tools through Brad Fallon's FreeLineReport. Bookmarking this one page is going to save me hours of valuable time!
Thanks again,

so to say that this is just for linkbait is not accurate all.
I know several people and even companies who know nothing about any of these services, but they would benefit dramatically from them.
initially when u see google news, digg, and reditt at the top of the post you think, "who the hell does not know about this already?" but if you continue u might get an understanding that is way more than google news or digg
Mainly this post is just alerting you about these services. There is a massive case to be made about using a few select ones, which in itself can be a long post. So, he would have had to write a short book in order to tell everyone what specific profound reasons there are to use many of these services.
for anyone who does not know why to use several of these, then u r at a disadvantage, seriously...
i told my friends and colleagues the same exact thing about one of these services two weeks ago
great set of resources. I really enjoy reading your posts and get a lot of good info from your posts.
Thanks...

I just saw this post and I'm probably late to post my own compilation of what are essentially buzz monitoring through Enterprise RSS tools, but here's where I've compiled what I've found so far (including your own trackur.com): http://enterpriserss.org
More recently, I've even located some more, such as Attensa -- http://www.attensa.com and NewsGator -- http://www.newsgator.com

Compete.com is one thing I must comment on.. they're a lot better than Alexa.. in that they actually 'track' the website's visits.. and not against their 'guesstimates'
Nevertheless, there's another site similar to compete.com that I don't see mentioned here (or I missed)
Quantcast. Their concept is similar to that of Compete, but they're better ;)
