Over the past few years marketers have been working on tracking conversations about their brands on the Web. (You are tracking and listening, aren't you?) But once you have that in place, then what?


Strategies for understanding and dealing with the flow of all these conversations are the natural next step. As more and more conversations are coming online, you need to respond quickly. So knowing things like "sentiment," who in your organization is on point to respond, and whether they have been doing so are becoming more important. It's like being at a party and having several conversations going on that you want to participate in.
I met Michael Spataro a few weeks back as I was researching tools to help me with this exact problem. I think what I found out was important for you to hear as well. I hope you agree.
