Kristi Hines Offers 25 Ways to Search your Social Media Keywords

Like your website, your social media presence should have keywords that help to make new customers aware of your existence. There are many ways to determine which keywords are working best for you. Kristi Hines, writing for stayonsearch.com, compiled “The Top 25 Social Media Keyword Search Tools.” Among her favorites:

Technorati: Searches blogs and posts by topic. Has a lot of useful features, including checking the latest posts on topical subjects listed in the menu. Its “tag page” allows you to select a keyword and review common topics for the keyword.

BoardReader: Lets you search topics discussed in forums and message boards. It can give you some idea of how many forums are currently available that focus on your particular topic.

Advanced Twitter Search: As the name implies, you can use it to search keywords, locations, sentiment and more in Tweets on Twitter.

Twazzup: More detailed than Advanced Twitter Search, it provided real time updates for related tags, links, pictures, tweets and much more.

Kurrently: Collects all recent comments on any word or subject on Facebook and Twitter, and presents them conveniently.

YouTube: The top video search engine. Hines says it’s only going to be more powerful, now that it has extended the time limit for videos to 15 minutes.
