@Barry
re: UI, I hear you. Love to get your thoughts on any examples of a seamless user experience you have seen. We'll definitely spend time on the navigation elements to make it better.

thanks for the note.

I like the flat pricing system and being straight-forward about not being a free service from the get go.

I have been studying all these tools with a lot of attention the past twelve months. While I think the space of Visible Tech and Radian needs a lot more competitors and developed niche players (which I'm sure this will find one of those niches), the user interface is pretty rough right now. I hope that between beta and final that they spend a bit of effort on the navigation.

It will be interesting to let some of the trends collect and fall away. I can set aside the need for a pretty GUI if the results are good. My preliminary results look decent enough (but the twitter category seems to pull duplicates of the same tweets)

Kudos to Mukund, Brian, and the rest of the team for putting things together.

@aaron I am sure you do. Maybe you want to increase it, but I fundamentally believe everyone does.
@andi - For the record, we did offer Chris an advisor position early on, but thanks to his commitments, he could not accept. He has though in his usual inimitable self been very very helpful and encouraging throughout

thanks for the post chris!

Radian6 has stood out for me for a while. Glad to see a new player. This world is all about options. Were you involved in helping get BuzzGain off the ground at all?

PS: "Thinker and tinkerer," I like that.

@clevercelt - sure. Tell marketers and PR that. Tell them they don't need another way to learn where their customers are being talked about. I'll be over here working on listening solutions.
