Twingly insightYesterday Twingly, a blog trackback service, launched its own Analysis feature. According to Anton Johansson, Product Strategist at Twingly, the service is targeted at PR agencies helping their clients keeping an eye on the blogosphere. So what is Twingly Insight?

Twingly Insight is not going to be a Monitoring tool like Meltwater Buzz. Instead it will give the user access to the huge database (500,000 new entries per day, according to Twingly.com) of blog posts that Twingly has gathered, and search it for the keywords you are interested in. One thing Twingly Insight provides that most other services don’t is a wide array of meta data, mainly concerning stats like trackbacks (“blogs about this blog post”), a “blog score”, etc, helping the user in finding the key influencers.

Not having used Twingly Insight (yet!), I can not give you a rundown on how it actually works, but through Twingly’s website you will find a demo version and an example on how it’s supposed to be used. It sure looks promising though, and considering how many cool partners they already have, I look forward to see what the guys are up to next!

Here are some other news on the subject:

On Thursdays, I will give you a review, a tip or just my thoughts on research and analysis, which is my main responsibility working at Awoque. If you have any questions about how it works, and why you should always keep track on your presence online, feel free to contact me!

Meltwater Buzz is one of the most powerful tools out there today, allowing you to search for keywords and/or hashtags in pretty much any media. Micro blogs (Twitter), regular blogs, videos, photos, it’s all covered! Setting up a campaign (a set of keywords) takes about five minutes, and feels like searching on Google, only more… powerful.


In the “Overview” tab, you will see the latest tweets, blog posts, pictures etc that follows your search criteria on the right hand side. To the left, you get stats and graphs, all customizable to your hearts delight.

Reporting your stats is obviously a key feature of any monitoring service. MBuzz does this through a simple-to-use report wizard. You choose what campaign you want a report on, decide which stats you want to show and, with the help of check-boxes, what kind of charts and graphs you want.

A downside to this tool is that it is sometimes too powerful, especially if you are only running a local campaign. You might get data that you don’t care about, for example from other countries (MBuzz actually translates content as well!). Luckily you can limit the search to only include certain countries and languages. Another downside is the price, which for a startup or small company might be too high. But as I mentioned earlier: this is a powerful service, created for big brands to keep track of everything that happens.

Have you used Meltwater Buzz? What do you think about it? Tell me in the comments, or on our Facebook page!

FashionDAYS starts today in Borås and will go on until October 1. We will be there to do interviews, launch the new BMW-1 series and catch up on the latest fashion trends.
Later today we will post some more links here to the live broadcasts on Auto 7h:s Bambuser channel.

Time to get social

Time to get social

paul williams victoria ahlen august 2011The sun glasses are still on. We had a great summer’s break but we are all excited and ready to get back into helping organizations to audit, understand and develop their specific “Why” of social media.

Awoque looks to continue socializing, inspiring, encouraging and assisting your company to tap into your passion to engage with your fans’ through the right social media channels.

Do not hesitate to give us a tweet at @awoque or comment here on the blog.

We look forward to hearing from you!

The week in New York was everything I wished for and more…

Super Fly (from the left) Tina, Jessica & Thina

I’ve learned so much from all the wonderful women that we met during the event. We all come from different places around the world, from different cultures and backgrounds. But what makes us feel attached to each other is that despite our differences we share so many similar experiences according to our bodies and being plus size women. Most of us have gone from hating our bodies to accepting and realizing our true potential. And we all have a passion for fashion and the urge to find trendy clothing that fit our body types.

Cruising around Manhatten

Paul Williams and I attended a cruise around Manhattan, fashion shows, blog conferences, mingle parties and shopping cruises. Let me tell you, he is a total beast when it comes to socializing and I truly have found my superior. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more fun traveling partner and he made my trip just perfect.

We had the chance to meet bloggers, models, designers and some of biggest companies in the plus size industry.

One interesting thing that we found out is that the plus size American bloggers envy Europe when it comes to plus size fashion (and we envy them). Which, means that no one is satisfied? So what can we do to change this?

That’s the question I’ll be spending my summer thinking about.

The Awoque blog is taking a vacation and so are we. We’ll get back to you around the 8th of August. Until then, keep on being social.

Maria Gustafsson Prins Daniel Victoria Ahlén Awoque wtg2011

I think I speak for most of the staff from Awoque and the rest of our fantastic Press Office – this was a High5 day. Janne Ståhlberg inspired us this morning and set the tone in the online internal press room A few hours off the set, I can try to recapture all the fantastic events from June 18.

My highlights:

  • Prince Daniel visited the World Transplant Games today at Slottskogsvallen. I even managed to get a spur of the moment sound bite on our Bambuser live broadcast ;)
  • Maria Gustafsson and I managed to get this great photo and a quick chat during our luncheon at Konserthuset.
  • 230 people saw Björn Kåberger’s and my live broadcast on Bambuser from the opening ceremony. We had cheers from Ireland and many other places.
  • The people we met today will stay in our hearts for ever. Follow their stories on our blog and twitter. To all of you. Thank you. You are brave and all of you are my heroes.
  • Lots of great photos on our Flickr stream>>
  • More than 1,000 people interact with us through the Facebook page
