Addictomatic For Quick Social Media Searches
Addictomatic is a nice little tool that I found out about the other day. It’s a social media search aggregator that produces a custom webpage of the results and is great for a quick review of mentions of a term that you input across a variety of social media site. For example, I did a vanity search for myself and turned up my name on Twitter, Friendfeed, YouTube, Bloglines and WordPress.

Addictomatic is not a social media account finder like Spokeo, so it doesn’t turn up all of the media that I am producing and posting. Addictomatic aggregates mentions of your query across social media sites, in this case my name, not the footprint of my profiles across social media sites. For a quick review of social media buzz, this is a great tool, but it doesn’t provide enough depth to make it a tool for much more than that. Use it for snapshots, but look to other more robust tools for real social media listening and measurement.
