Todd Wheatland, head of thought leadership at Kelly Services, recently wrote about mention on a post from Social Media Examiner, 14 Social Media Tools used by Marketing Pros. mention is a comprehensive social monitoring and media monitoring platform.
mention was developed as a user-friendly replacement for Google Alerts. They’re a textbook example of how to build a platform by doing one thing better than anyone else. As well as being an absolute joy to use, it captures so many more, ahem, ‘mentions’ online than any other platform I’ve used that it’s become my #1 go-to social mention reference tool. Todd Wheatland
