Interesting article in the Seattle Times today
[url]http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2003658336_brier09.html [/url]
about a company called Visible Technologies
http://www.visibletechnologies.com/
Some quotes from the article
You've probably never heard of Visible Technologies.
But if you're participating in social networks, commenting on blogs or sharing your opinion on the Web, it's heard of you.
Visible is monitoring every place that people can submit comments online and copying the conversations into a massive database.
Discussions are mapped, influential people are identified and Visible's software then helps clients engage in the conversations or directly contact the influencers.
If a blogger badmouths the Hummer, for instance, the system could notify GM. Within the console, a PR person can draft a response, inserting key points, then get approval to post or e-mail the nettlesome blogger.
Clients pick an "author" or opt for anonymity. Visible also has a virtual army — thousands of personas registered with online forums.
