22 March - KANA webinar, Beyond Social Media Monitoring: How Leading Brands are Capitalizing on the Voice of the Customer , 2:00 PM EDT (GMT -4).
While numerous social media measurement technologies exist, no single tool can adequately measure and provide insights for all social marketing activity.
T he online landscape is saturated with more than 200 tools and platforms claiming to be able to help you track and assess mentions of your business or brand in social media channels. While there remains a lot of churn in the field, a number of listening platforms have evolved to help you go beyond basic monitoring into an integrated approach that helps inform multiple parts of your business: product development, customer support, public outreach, lead generation, market research and campaign measurement.
ThinkUp, the social media management tool that matters most, hits version 1.0 today. It lets you store all your social activity from networks like Twitter, Facebook and Google+ in a database you control and search, sort and analyze it.
A Collaborative Effort Between Two Firms: Web Analytics Demystified and Altimeter Group It’s just been over a month since we published the Social CRM Research paper (over 36k views on slideshare) and we’re continuing our cadence here at Altimeter Group of publishing widely available reports under the spirit of Open Research. This time, it’s different, we’ve aligned with who I feel are the smartest team of web analytics minds in the space, John Lovett (ex-Forrester analyst) and Eric Peterson (ex-Jupiter analyst) both of the Web Analytics Demystified firm.
Last month, we reported on a survey that found that 84% of social media programs don’t measure return on investment (ROI).
Often, our industry can appear complicated, and yearns for simplicity.

On this point, I must concede - while social's an exciting new area for online marketers, its value isn't always commensurate with the effort required and even when it is, it's tough to prove that point to clients or executives asking for justification.
There are a lot of things you can measure about you social media efforts.
