   Thanks very much! I completely agree with keeping the simplicity of it - I'd much rather focus on having it do one thing really, really well rather than lots of things "just ok". Really appreciate the kind words, thanks again.

   This doesn't just alert you anytime someone mentions your brand (like a Google alerts style service might) - this analyses tweets to identify mentions that you might want to act on, like tech support issues, feature requests and (y favourit

   It assigns a sentiment score based on a large bag of words. I'm making improvements to it each day, and it's slowly getting better. Terrible at picking up sarcasm though, but I think most sentiment analysis tools are.

   Thanks! Yep, at the moment I've set it to only pick up English language tweets but I could potentially roll out other languages at a later date.

   Thanks for the feedback and the headsup on the CSS bug, I'll get that fixed. Pagination sounds like a good idea, or reworking how it fetches the data from Twitter. When a campaign is created it queries Twitter's API for the brand name (e.g.

   Hi HN - I've been working on a Twitter brand monitoring service that alerts you whenever anything interesting is tweeted about your brand. It analyses each tweet, so it can tell you when a user asks a question, when you get good & bad f

    Hi HN, finally launching my side project: Recon.io let's you see what people are saying about your brand on Twitter, and analyses each tweet for sentiment and can spot questions about your brand, feature requests and support issues - so ins

    Google will follow those 301s and realise that the old URLs are the same as the new URLs. From experience, you may see a slight drop in some search rankings when you make the switch as it can take Google some time to factor the 301s into

    Congrats on launching - always difficult to finally get it out the door, so good job. As adambenayoun said, using slides to present information can make it harder to get your message across (either people will miss some of the slides, or th

    Thought I'd make it easy to find all of the Hackerbuddy members who are willing to help with beta testing for your projects and apps. (And as ever, all feedback is hugely appreciated).

    No, that's a good point - if a lot of people would find it useful visiting those Twitter profiles (from the main company page?) that can be added. Thanks for the feedback.

    Hi, it does work - it's just a brand new site that only went live today, so there are only a couple of jobs in the system at the moment.

    I think I may need to reword the landing page as it might not be completely clear how the site works. You can't give job offers to people who haven't applied for a job. Now, if pg applies for a job that you've listed, you'll probably find t

    Thanks very much - you're right, I certainly follow people who are unrelated to my industry, but it shouldn't affect the results Moki displays, as it's very unlikely that a celebrity will apply for a job on Moki, or recommend working for a
