Thanks for the comment; most don't search Facebook and certainly not forums (only those publicly open, which is about 5% of what's going on) or newsgroups, .alt's etc.

My company is MediaBadger (http://www.mediabadger.com) and the product is mediasphere360 which we've been developing for 2 years now.

I think most modern toolsdo this also (searching on twitter, facebook (what's available of it), forums).

One free tool doing this is Social Mention.com Numerous vendors tool do this also.

What's your company name ?

We have a monitoring tool, but haven't opened it up to public/business use yet. What we've found is that the big problem comes from most of these services only connecting via API to Google, Yahoo or and/or Bing...and that's a BIG problem, since they have inherent bias in the results they deliver.

We search separately from the consumer engines. Also, almost all the monitoring tools DO NOT even access Social Networks, newsgroups, .alt's, BB's or Usenet. Which means a lot gets missed.
