[English] Radian6, social networking analysis platform review

In the ever desperate search of creating more insight into the “talk of the town”, I stumbled upon radian6.

It allows you to create a dashboard, using 5 types of widgets to create insight into talk around your brand(s).

These widgets are :

Influence viewer

Creating an oversight of where the biggest “talk” (and who) around your brand is available

River of news

Creating a resultset of your search keywords, with the ability to filter and sort, based on various metrics

Topic Trends

Creating a linear graph with a trend graphic allowing you to compare yourself with competitor buzz for example

Topic Analysis

Almost the same as topic trending, although the drilldown is counted, and can be segmented in several parts.

Conversation Cloud

Creating a tagcloud with topics around the keywords you’ve searched for. Allowing for more drilldowns (and creating other widgets from those tags again)

Radian6.com seems to be offering the best possibilities at the moment, for checking out the “buzz” around your brand in several sources, including :

• Twitter
• Flickr
• Google

And also applies several metric like influence, number of inbound links and several others to create great overviews in several posibilites, like piecharts, graphs and textual overviews.

Possibilities are almost limitless and drilling down into the results is really impressive.

Creating reports, sending them automatically is also very easy and possibly one of the most powerfull tools included into the Radian6 platform is the “workflow” option in the “River of news” widget of radian6.
