Top Topic Trackers
Last week we listed and categorized some of the leading topic-tracking toolson the Web. As usual we got a great response in the comments, withadditional information about the apps listed and suggestions for otherapps to add. So in this post we present an updated list of topic tracking tools for you to explore. Once again, we invite you to add more in the comments and/or comment on the existing ones.We've also added links, to make it easier for you to check these services
Feed and/or Email Services
These are services that output RSS and/or other formats, such asemail notification. We think this type of topic feed tool is the mostflexible, particularly when it outputs RSS. With RSS feed output, youcan do further filtering or grouping of the feeds inside an RSS readerlike Google Reader or Netvibes.
- Collecta
- GigaAlert (limited free service)
- Google Alerts
- PubSub
- Regator
- Swamii (email only, no RSS)
- Topikality
- Trackle (email only, no RSS)
- Woofeed (email or mobile, no RSS; it also provides a publishing service for bloggers)
- Yahoo Pipes
- Yotify (email only)
These services don't output RSS or emails for topic searches. That'snot necessarily a bad thing, it just means you have to visit thedestination site to see results every day.
- Cascaad
- Ensembli (offers email digests)
- Guzzle.it
- LazyFeed
- My6Sense
- Technorati
- YourVersion
These services show what is popular or new amongst their respectivecommunities. There are many other such services, so the following isjust a sample:
- Delicious feeds
- Google Trends
- MashLogic
- Searchtastic ("smart Twitter search")
- Trendistic ("see trends in Twitter")
- Twazzup (Twitter search)
- Twitscoop (Twitter search)
- Twitter search (e.g. for hashtags)
Similar to social filter services, only these have a specificcommunity driving the output of stories. Again, the below is a smallsample:
People Curated
Topic-focused blogs (such as ReadWriteWeb!) are great for tracking topics on the Web. In recent times, light blogging services have offered an easy way for individuals or small groups of people to curate information on a given topic.See also: interesting post by Tony Karrer about "topic hubs" for bloggers.
- Favit (see also this follow-up post on the Favit blog for details about their topic tracking features)
- NewsCred
- Posterous
- Tumblr
These services aggregate, or group, news and other stories around a specific topic.
- Alltop
- BuzzFeed
- Eqentia
- Google Fast-Flip feeds
- icurrent
- LinksAlpha
- NewsTwit
- PopURLS
- SNS Touch
- Topix
- TopSite

These are professional brand management services that you typicallyhave to pay for. Many of them include topic tracking. Here's a sample...
