On December 30th, 2009, Selena Gomez , (better known for her role as Alex Russo on the TV show "Wizards of Waverly Place"), visited Daireds Salon and Spa Pangea (client) for a haircut. Later, she tweeted about the positive experience to her 1.3 million followers. What followed was a minor Twitter explosion about the Daireds brand. Nothing that would be unexpected given Selena's large network of engaged fans. On Twitter, the Daireds brand was mentioned (mostly through retweets), well over 100 times (includes numbers from both retweet formats).

http://www.postrank.com/ We know that making sense of social engagement data is crucial for online businesses, which is why we’ve worked hard to monitor where and when content generates meaningful interactions across the web.
