Track mentions of your Institution

Perspctv is a tool that aggregates twitter, blog and news posts related to any topic. A great use is to find mentions of your school on the web:

A nice feature is too also compare number of mentions for various terms. So if you wanted to compare the competition, you could simply change your search to include multiple terms (separated by commas):

http://www.perspctv.com/q/university+of+colorado,university+of+kansas,university+of+nebraska

The graphs and data visualization pieces for the comparison tool are strong. Good site to bookmark!

Hi,
I’m Reneese and I’m working at a company interested in website and blog advertising. I have seen your site’s potential for advertising and I believe that our client’s business would be well suited for link placement in your site. Our client’s services provide significant education programs and rare opportunities to working students who intend to acquire a higher success in the field of their choice. It would be of great help to your readers to know such information of earning a degree online or campus based learning.
Let me know if you are indeed interested. Please get back to me (reneese.mackey777@gmail.com) with your name so I can send you further details.
Looking forward to do business with you.

Sincerely,

yikes. My institution is low on mentions. Sometimes you don't want to use these tools.
