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!
