Many companies started to realize and leverage the power of social media
recently. It's not just about promoting products or services through social
media, but also about monitoring and finding out what people are saying about
your company and products. With so many social networks available these days,
it's apparently not possible to manually track feedbacks and comments about a
particular product, company or even a person.
