@Melanie: Exciting times indeed and I’m pretty sure you’re heading in the right direction so will keep following that. Thanks for fixing the Mustang blog feed by the way ;)

Thanks for the coverage!

It’s been great hashing out ideas with you, and I look forward to more of it in the future. We’re at a really exciting point where we’re doing a lot of work and thinking on “what next?”, so these conversations are precisely what we need and want to have in as many places as possible.

The need for customized slicing and dicing of metrics is certainly one we’re seeing as a consistent pain point. The real challenge will be determining how to address it, since the need is coming from so many disparate sources and corporate cultures.

Exciting times!

We’ve a solution that does “almost” what you decribed as your whatif. So we share the same objectuve !
Currently not as automated yet as you describe it but on the other end workgroup ready . As an example we’re monitoring, ranking and engaging with 700+ blogs on social media (including yours :-) and we do this as a team. We have our special tools to find blogs that are relevant for a specific domain.

We also automatically syndicate the feeds of the blogs we comment on or post we find interesting. (on our blog – yes it’s a standard wordpress one so not so nice :-( ).

I would like to thank you for the description you gave. This helps, if you’ve time, I’d be very pleased to get additional feedback !
