ACCOUNT AND SEARCH MONITORING

There are multiple methods for list building and alerting across various platforms.

• A list of useful YouTube channels can be created in subscriptions. A subscription list can be exported as an RSS feed.

• Useful Twitter accounts can be added to a list, or a series of lists, and monitored manually or with tools such as Tweetdeck and Hootsuite.

Build systems using free tools to get alerts on content from multiple sources:

• Crowdtangle: Used to build lists of content from sources on Facebook (pages or groups), Instagram, Twitter (accounts or lists) and subreddits
  • Powerful for monitoring all content or for watching for spikes in activity
  • Set up email or Slack alerts from inside the app
• Feedly (or another RSS reader): Used to build lists from YouTube subscriptions, from websites or from audio feeds.
  • Used to monitor news feeds and subscriptions.
• Google Alerts: Set up alerts for search terms (keyword), for instances of keywords on a given site (site:website.com keyword), and for handles of accounts for sources you have already developed.

Centralise alerts from various platforms via email alerts, Slack integrations, etc, based on the needs of the team or project.
