Comment on Vanity Searches Should Be an Important Part of Your Routine by sazbean

Vincent, I agree. Usually the best thing to do is actually respond – even if it's just to listen to what an upset customer says. I do think that companies also need to take the aggregate of comments into consideration as to whether they need to take action to fix or change something. For example, Comcast may do a pretty good job of listening to problems through social media, but I have yet to see a real change in Comcast's overall service (at least in my opinion). Thanks for your comment!

Comment on Review: TweetDeck vs. HootSuite by sazbean

I've heard that people don't like the ow.ly links as well – mostly because they put a bar at the top of the browser – but both Facebook and Digg do this as well. I tend to attribute most of the difference in numbers to HootSuite actually filtering out bots – it doesn't seem like others do as much.

Thanks for your comment and for reading! Hope this helps…

I have been a fan of HootSuite for nearly a year and I really like the interface over TweetDeck. Pre-Scheduling tweets is really valuable for me, as well as getting my stats. HOWEVER, my numbers have gone way down recently and I've heard people don't like Ow.ly links / they stall out or have other problems, so this has me concerned. Anyone else heard the ow.ly links are problematic?

Sometimes its the simple things that fix a problem, like actually talking or letting customers know they are being listened too. You don't need to give things away. Keeping customers informed when you strike trouble is a good way to quell potential trouble.

As you suggest,vanity searches and self-reporting Google alerts are a great way to keep on top of these things. Sometimes it is hard to stop a firestorm, when you get one individual going nuts, but the quicker you try and head off the problem the better.

Reputation management is one aspect of Search Engine Optimisation that doesn't get discussion that often.

Disqus is very easy to you, it does enhance the usability in your blog. It makes people more likely to share their comments. I like it very much too.

Thank you for sharing the new media photographer post about facebook. I think your comment about the redesign and how news feeds are treated is better than my post itself.
