I LOVE buzz monitoring tools – though you probably already know that if you’ve read my posts on:
- Social Media Share of Voice – Converse, Adidas, New Balance, Nike and Under Armour
- Buzz Monitoring and Sentiment Analysis for Disney
- Sentiment Analysis of Obama’s First 100 Days – 52% Positive
- SXSW Recap Post: Positive Vs. Negative Sentiment
- Buzz Monitoring: Google vs. Microsoft Sentiment Analysis
Going beyond buzz monitoring is really important. Sentiment analysis is certainly one of the ways to take social media monitoring a setup further, but influencer identification is really what marketers are aiming for when they put tools like ScoutLabs and Radia6 to the test.
One tool that is not well know in the US (because it’s a French technology with a limited private beta) is Linkfluence and I think it’s a really unique technology for use in social media marketing campaigns. If you want to take it for a test drive, leave a comment on this post and i’ll see what I can do. Here’s a video walk through of the tool:

Hi Peter,
We definitely love your enthusiasm for this space, and for the importance of solid social media monitoring. Influencer identification is indeed one aspect of what our clients are looking for, and the beautiful thing is that the wealth of data available enables companies to decide their own criteria for influence, based on their business goals.
Thanks for being such an advocate for the importance of listening when it comes to social media work.
Cheers,
Amber Naslund
Director of Community, Radian6

Wow, right up my alley. I love this stuff. I’ve seen similar capabilities in Sysomos and others but wonder what is different, how this works…would love to try it if there was a way!
Peter,
Thanks for sharing this. Would love to take it for a spin. The ability to deep dive into the links and centers of influence, plus the interesting visuals, and how simple it is to use. We use a buzz monitoring service currently, but always looking to add additional layers to the reporting and gain even more insight for our outreach online.
Thanks,
Mike

I would love to test drive Linkfluence
Peter, thanks for the great video. Best presentation I’ve seen so far, and I should know
Jonathan, Wendy, Mike: feel free to email me or shoot us a message at contact AT linkfluence.net and we’ll set you up.
We’re currently using other KPIs to measure the success of social networking campaigns, but seek to develop an informed PoV on tools that monitor online PR and brand conversations. We believe these tools are very important and therefore if we can test drive Linkfluence – would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rachel
Would really like to get it on the beta testing of this. let me know if you need more details ect?

Dear Susie: yes I would need your contact details to set you up. Please shoot me an email at contact AT linkfluence.net.

This looks like a very powerful Social Monitoring software offering. We would love to give it a test drive to see how it stacks up with the competition.
Thanks in advance,

I know I’m coming to this late, but would love to take this for a spin, looks intriguing.
Hello Peter, Linkfluence looks AMAZING! is there any way we could test it? Thank you very much!
I would like to test LinkInfluence. Please let me know how
Going kind of far back here, but if the offer still stands for trying to set up a Linkfluence, I’d be very interested. Thanks!
Looks like a great tool, I’d love to test drive!
Sounds amazing. I would love to take a look into it. Thanks!!
I’d love to test drive!
Hello Peter,
unfortunately Linkfluence seems to be still in private mode. Can you arrange some kind of test drive for us? We’d be very interested in giving it a try.
Thx Wolfgang
Hi Peter,
I’ve been following this for a while and was shown it a number of years ago in a presentation at the LSE by Bruno Latour. I would appreciate a test drive.
Regards,
Peadar.
Hi Peter, just watched your video of Linkscape and the tool looks great. Much of their website is all in French so it’s difficult to get more information. Is it still available for a test drive?
Thanks, Sam
Hey Peter, Great run down on that tool and very interesting. I would love to beta test this and see if I can incorporate it into my company. If offer is still available please let me know.
Thanks,
TJ
Just discovered this conversation and the tool you demo. Would love to get in on this if that’s still possible.
