Comments with Cligs Behind their Backs
Yesterday I came across a service called backtype which is a very cool blog comment search engine. The good folks at backtype even have an API that allow us to tap into their search index.
So of course, I had to add it to Cligs. As of just now, a new tab has been added to the Clig Social Media Mentions and the Destination Social Media Mentions sections of the cligs details pages. The tab searches blog comments using backtype and displays all mentions that backtype knows about that mention your clig. Neat!
What this means is that now we have quite an extensive look at where your clig is being talked about: twitter, friendfeed, blog posts, blog comments, and the whole web too. All in one handy page only on Cligs.
The question is: are there any services that you think belong on the clig details pages? Give me a shout and I’ll see about adding them.
Finally, I’d like to thank Christopher from backtype for answering my questions yesterday. Thank you!
