A Roundup of Twitter Tracking Tools I want to share with you a roundup of Twitter tracking tools that I have put together. It's the result of the market research I did before launching our own prototype of a Twitter measurement tool a few weeks back. The list below summarizes tools that analyze influencers or popularity, evaluate sentiment or number of mentions, identify the location of the person tweeting, offer trend analysis or focus on time frames. I marked an “X” in the category that I perceive is the tool's primary utility. This list is not exhaustive, but it may be helpful in trying to manage the deluge of daily tweets. As Pete Fasano and I have discussed, no tool appears to be the holy grail incorporating all these features. I have worked at several agencies working to put together budding social media practices, and have been pitched by many of the social media monitoring tools. Some key things on her wish list: Some of the source material came from  Spacefruit at HubPages, GreyReview and Measurementcamp.

Twitter Better: 20 Ways to Filter Your Tweets -Most Twitter users probably follow under a thousand other people, but that's enough to make it hard to keep track of the real-time stream.
