News Discovery: Track Any Topic Online with Ping.it Keyword Probes | Infotention | Scoop.it

Howard Rheingold's insight:

As usual, Robin Good is tracking the cutting edge in info-discovery. In addition to RSS feeds of persistent news searches and other kinds of searches and social media monitoring services like talkwalker.com, Ping.it looks like a potentially useful infotention tool (off to test it...)

Ping.it (review), a web app which allows you to monitor and discover relevant news in your areas of interest, has just introduced a new powerful feature with makes it possible to track any relevant content being published around a specific keyword.


Just specify the set of keywords or keyphrase you want to track, and almost instantly Ping.it provides you with a preview of relevant content items. 

Probes can be tailored to your specific needs, by applying specific search parameters and social popularity filters. It is also possible to exclude specific keywords. 



I find Ping.it and its keyword monitoring facility very effective and capable of bringing me only high quality results in my field of interest. I would not hesitate to recommend it to those who need to seriously monitor any topic.

Howard Rheingold's insight:

I always pay attention to Robin Good, and Google Alerts has proved to be an invaluable infotention tool. I've been experimenting with http://talkwalker.com and like it, but these alternatives are worth looking into. I plan to test the free ones.
