Three New Features Added in Buzzom Premium
Posted on January 25th, 2010 1 commentAt the onset, we’d like to thank all our users for the overwhelming response we have received for Buzzom Premium. As promised we added three new features in Buzzom Premium last week .
Tweet Based Search:
In our attempt to help you make your network more effective, we have added the ability to follow people based on keywords in their Tweets. Till now you could find people based on keywords in their ‘Bio’ and ‘Location’. So you want to follow people who talk about ‘Web Marketing’, find and add them in Buzzom Premium.
Track Your Un-Followers:
Most of the applications let you track your followers. What we tend to forget is that its equally important to keep track of people un-following you. There must be something going wrong if you are losing on the Followers numbers. It goes unnoticed most of the time but now with Buzzom Premium you can know exactly how many people un-followed you when. You can also see the list of people who un-followed you and choose to follow or un-follow them.
Growth Statistics:
We let you see your growth in Twitter in terms of followers you have added in Buzzom Premium. You can see how many people you have Flushed, Reciprocated or Followed. You can also see the number of people you have followed based on various keywords. Basically, you can track the performance of the system on your account here. You can view the data for the last few days in ‘Grow Setting and Stats’ by selecting the parameter from the drop down menu on the right hand side.
This was a part of the speedy development Buzzom Premium is undergoing. We have many more features in the pipeline and they will be made available soon.
We look forward to your feedback and suggestions.

Track your Followers and UnFollowers Through Buzzom Premium
Posted on January 21st, 2010 2 commentsThe first rule in using Twitter efficiently is to understand your account better. Whether you are a marketer, an entrepreneur, website owner or a blogger, you need to keep yourself updated about how you have been growing in terms of Followers and Followings. Once you have crossed a hundred Followers/ Followings, its very difficult to keep track of new people joining your network. In addition to knowing about Followers and Followings, its equally important to know about people un-following you (removing you from their network).
To help you with this, Buzzom Premium offers ‘Account Tracker’. This lets you see the behavior of your account with just a click. You can now view:
Trend of people you are following
Trend of people following you
Trend of people un-following you

You also get to see the list of users for each of these graphs when you click on the data points. For instance you click on the data point corresponding to a particular date on ‘Your Un-Following Trend’, you will see the list of users who un-followed you on that particular day. You also have a choice of Following or Un-Following them from the list itself.

In addition, you can also see your daily, weekly and monthly growth in terms of percentages. So you know what actions you need to take to better your Twitter experience.

Getting Buzzom in Your Desktop Using Google Chrome
Posted on January 18th, 2010 1 commentIf Buzzom is your application of choice and you want it in desktop application form, there is a work around through Google Chrome. This is not Buzzom Desktop, a client for Tweeting and viewing tweets but the same Buzzom Web in Desktop form. It is just a web short-cut but works well.
All you need to do is to go to “Control the Current Page” button near “settings” after opening Buzzom.com in Chrome, and click on “Create Application Shortcuts”.

Once you click on Create application shortcut, you will be asked on where to place the icon. You can select one, two or all among desktop, Start Menu and Quick Launch.
You can actually create short-cuts for any other web apps and sites. Enjoy.

How Company can use Buzzom to hire people.
Posted on January 11th, 2010 6 commentsHiring or Firing are the two important steps which a company or an organisation take in-order to increase the efficiency of the work. But the increasing influence of social media is changing these processes. A lot has been written about the inefficiency injected into the company due to the social media. But we must not forget the value addition of social media to a business.
Currently, everyone can express themselves to the world through online social platform like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Blogs. Because of this, people are either getting FIRED or HIRED in a company. Its an interesting phenomenon occurring in today’s global society.
A research on human psychology has found out that maximum number of people’s online profile matches with that of their real profile, offline. This is a great finding which means that companies can trust on the online profile to judge a person. Therefore, a new way of HR sector is emerging where people are hired through Online search.
In today’s culture, Job will find the right person rather then a person finding a job. One of the fundamentals of Hiring is efficient people search. You want to get the right person for the right job. Buzzom is working on those lines to bring the efficient people search to the users, so that one can find the right person they are looking for.
Currently, Buzzom search allows you to search people in Twitter via their bio, location, names and tweets. Name and location search might be less important than the bio search in case of job. Entering a proper keywords in the search will immediately give you the person whose profile matches to your search query.
Here is a little demonstration of the buzzom’s people search :
Search for Java programmers and in an instant you will get a list of people related to java programmers. Now you are interested in them, the step would be follow them and start a conversation. If you find them right for the job and take the next step. This could be a time consuming process, but the current structure of social media encourages people to communicate rather than measure them.

Now try entering more keywords to filter your result, “java programmers, jobs” you will find that the result narrow downs to specific result. Here you can see the list of Job related twitter account specific for Java.

People search is going to be the next step in social media to leverage the business and economy. Content always has been the key to the internet, but the new way is about the human connection through sharing information. People search is the start of it and with time, the industry will be increase in profile measurement and management as a key to success in the Internet.

How to track Brands in Twitter ?
Posted on January 8th, 2010 4 commentsTracking your brand has never been so easy. Previously, you would have to go to default twitter search and tracking your keyword and find all the people who were talking about your brand. But more important is to find the people that have mentioned your brand, so that you can get more in-depth understanding of your demographic.
Here is how you can do it from buzzom:
1. Log on to www.buzzom.com :

2. Type the name of your brand :
3. Click on Go!

4. You are provided with the list of people who have tweeted about your brand
The next step in this would be to know if these people are in your network or not. Buzzom already has a system which works for finding that if you search via bio, location and name. But due to unfixed errors in Twitter and its resource requirement, the system is disabled and is being worked around.
Any suggestions and comment are appreciated.

This was possible due to a great team work and patience at InRev. Buzzom has come a long way and currently is being revamped to bring better user interface. Buzzom has continually changed its interface to bring better services to the users and promises to work at those lines in future.
I would like to take this opportunity to walk you through the history of Buzzom and the growth it has shown not only in numbers but in its service to user.

Our First Twitter API testing developed
This was the initial phase where we were still having second thought over Twitter Application. Hence we developed a rapid prototype to test the limit of Twitter. The test was an immediate success with high turn overs. We all knew its potential to become a great product, hence we moved to upgrade and change the interface. Interface has been the key in our Buzzom application, with its easy access to functionality and we promise to grow better in those lines.

First Complete Product launched among the Twitter Users
By this time, we had our operations and analytics frame work complete in the back-end, which is still the strongest part of our product.

Buzzom with Extra features
We hit the limitation with our initial design and hence brought new interface with new cool functions. By this time, Buzzom was already taking its effect on the twitter-sphere and was mentioned in blog.

Change to the front end
We started experimenting with front-end and user’s flow which was very important for user experience.

New Branding
This is now, and we know we cannot stop here, there is more to come and bring value to Social Media. Buzzom’s sole aim is to bring the best and quality service with understanding of social media. Buzzom is not just a product with features, it is the result of experience of being in social media and is the product of social media revolution.
Buzzom is currently free to use and will always be. Inside Buzzom, we have desktop applications, Twitter badges and Firefox plugins to support user in every possible way.
Recently, we launched our new extension to Buzzom - Buzzom Premium which has more advanced functions and features that will help professionals.

Peek into Buzzom Premium
The growth of Buzzom as a product and as a value addition to social media is something that everyone in InRev aims for. We are glad that people in twitter and other social media sites were very helpful to us. We would like to thank all Buzzom users for their continous suggestions and comments, which guided us through out the project development.
Also, we would like to thank all our friends for helping us with their valuable suggestion.
Thank You
