Radian6

Radian6 is focused on building the monitoring and analysis tools of social media for PR and advertising professionals.

Its social media monitoring platform tracks what is being said online about brands, organizations and issues in real-time as discovered. The solution monitors all forms of social media, including blog sites, video-sharing sites, opinion review forums, photo-sharing sites and new and emerging channels such as micro-blogging.

Their platform has been built for and by PR and advertising professionals. Radian6 created their Early Adopter Program (EAP) to go deep with a wide variety of clients. It has allowed them to understand the pain associated with manual monitoring and analysis.
