Yesterday 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:

This past Saturday, the Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen, ended. The finalist we send to Eurovision Song Contest this year to represent Sweden will be Eric Saade. Since childhood days, I have been a fan along with thousands (millions)of others. More than 3 000 000 million people saw the final on TV. Check out these data from Twingly liveboard for the online comments from fans like me on Twitter through #mel2011.

Carolina Norén, reporter at Swedish Radio, used various online channels competently to report and to communicate from the festival. Here is her summary in her blog. During each Saturday she asked the online fans for questions to the winners of each competition through the #twitterfrågor. Guess whose question was answered on radio (3 min into the clip) by the winner Erik Saade this past Sunday during the radio show “Svensktoppen“?

12:00 Malin Ströman about gamification
Gamification  – shopping and learning transparently so how to make what we perceive more of a game? Checkout Stardoll.  A company arranged a Chicken race – the one customer who dared to wait the longest to purchase one selected bag, got to buy it for a lower cost. When she starts talking about gamification while playing, baking, using transparency and learning at the same time, she catches my attention.
What if we could gather all the energy when we solved world problems. How fast could we create world peace?

She says that: “The social human # evolve – create identity – response. The goal is to be empowered.”

12:35 LG Wallmark och Karin Nordlund, Telia, “Building the best customer communication center – what do you want?” Customer service online starts during mid June for Telia 2010. They started internally. “When you open the channels, you have to be there”, says Nordlund. She worked day and night to answer questions online to meet the high expectations online on the response time. Few of the people in charge understood the power of social media. So she started giving courses called “Social media for Dummies”.
“We know now that: we need to explain why we are there online to answer questions

Telia now measure – log on replies, log answering = happier clients, answering times, positive influence on the brand, spread…
- 17% of Swedish companies are in the social media channels

13:03-14:05 Lunch, networking and time to charge computers/Ipads/phones etc.

14:06 Sofia Svantesson, Ocean Observation – Big in Japan, enters the stage with the starting phrase – “Be humble to suceed”.

By accident she studied at Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan. 2001, she starts Ocean Observation creating meaningful interaction strategies on multiple platforms. These are her tips to become “BIG in Japan”:

• Remember to focus on details – the Japanese love detail.
• Build relationships = surprise the Japanese positively (-Sugoi!), stay personal to get the Uuuuu
• Culture – understand the rituals with meetings, learn the business card ritual (she even drew her own cards when she ran out), bow down deep when greeting and saying goodbye, “maybe it´s ok=no”, work around the clock, the Japanese tell you when you do good, “you´re an outsider = accept it”

14:32 Anton Johansson, Headler.se (mascot at Twingly), blogger at About.me
It started with the question “What would we like to do?”.  His partner Erik loves headphones. So they started a webshop for just that. “We set a goal to have the coolest webshop in Sweden,” says Anton. “Everyone follows the cool guy.”
Not a single cool skater wrote about them in the beginning. They quickly learnt, the more products you have in your store, “the more you sell.”
” It is easy to be the best.” People tend to forget that sales is the most important thing. Dare to do direct sales. For example follow the conversations online about people wanting to buy headphones. Talk to the fans. Make an offer.
Online commerce “You can do it, too!”

15:33 Jan de Man Lapidoth, about leadership and social media

1. Mellanmjölk (milk 1,5%, extra medium). He wonders if we use our potential? How can we grow? Fair?
2. Authencity – “We react when something is not authentic”. Everyone must be true. Could be seen as ugly. Or?
3. Transparency = dynamite. It kills power.

I love it when we finally get to discuss around the tables on social leadership etc.
