Buzzom is Down Why?

Dear Buzzom Users,

First of all, we are really sorry for the service down of the Buzzom since Saturday. We had been hoping that the issue could be resolved by Monday, but it hasn’t.

As you can see that you cannot log on to the system using Twitter Authentication, but you can certainly use our Facebook features.

Apparently, our service has been randomly shutdown by the Twitter’s automatic monitoring system. It is not the first time that we have faced this issues. But unlike in our previous case, this time we have not been given any reasons.

We are still figuring out why this has been done. As you all probably know that we have changed our service a lot of time to comply with the Twitter’s changing Terms and Conditions. As a result, the present version of buzzom had nothing against the Twitter’s TOS.

One of our following/unfollowing engine was also converted from automatic to manual. The only value addition we had with our following/unfollowing engine was not the automation but listing out of user’s followers and unfollowers. Besides that every follow/unfollow action was manual.

Further, we have been working to develop the best possible Social Media client adding many other social networking site.

One thing I would like to tell to all our users is that Buzzom is not just a random tool being created in the Internet. It is a well planned and designed application build by the industry experts. The road map of buzzom is long and interesting and we only work to add value to online network’s eco-system. Our history proves that very well.

Buzzom has been running like a professional web products with 24 hrs support system and user guidance. Our buzzom users will know this much better than anyone. We respond to each mail and each query being fired on Twitter.

Lastly, we are still looking forward to Twitter’s response and possible way to resolve any kind of issue that is there. Buzzom is here for betterment of online eco-system.

Hence, I appeal users and Twitter that we are working hard to bring the service back.

Thank You.

Deep Sherchan

P.S. Our other service Buzzom Premium is also facing similar issue.

Buzzom is truely the best alternative to Hootsuite

Many say that this market is crowded- the market of social media suite. But in true sense there are hardly any serious players in the space pushing innovation. Remember all those initial players in the social media suite tweetdeck, co-tweet, brizzly and seismic. Today, all these players are lost in the silos. They are still struggling to find their space in the market.

This happened because they stopped innovating and stopped listening to the market cry. Then came hootsuite with its not so revolutionary column layout (which was the innovation of Tweetdeck).  But what they added on top of this layout was revolutionary? Team management, multiple networking sites, easy interface and so on. But recently, even hootsuite like all its counterpart have digressed from the main innovation line and have moved towards paid service, leaving very less option on its free model.

On the other hand, Buzzom has been in the market since the times of Tweetdeck and seismic. From its early journey, Buzzom has always been listening to market cry and innovating on that lines. Buzzom started with basic follow/unfollow and analytic feature. Then Buzzom kept adding features and improving its system day by day.

Read here for more Buzzom Story.

As a result, today Buzzom has almost everything that a power twitter and general twitter users would require. Multiple account addition feature, list management, saved keywords tracking, plug-ins for browsers, adding feed urls, people search and engagement console.  Comparing with Hootsuite’s free version, Buzzom adds more value to users than anyone. Not to mention that there is no other application as innovative as Buzzom’s People Search.

This an in depth comparision between Hootsuite’s free version and Twitter.

We would want you to take a closer look at the comparison above and make your choice. Not to mention that Buzzom Team has one of the most responsive team who go all the way to help you.

Representing Buzzom team, I would like to add that we are in continuous innovation chain which will not stop in the above list and there are lot of interesting project coming on your way.

Engagement model added into Buzzom Search

People search is one of the most important feature of Buzzom because it allows user to search for relevant profiles and connect with them. Making a good and long lasting connection means finding better profiles. But most tools available today do not have proper people search.

Buzzom indexes millions of open profiles and allows user to seamlessly search and filter users. You can give many criteria like bio, location and name; and search for the profile. You can even filter based on your followings and followers list.

Today, Buzzom has added another feature to the people search that will make user’s life much more easier. Now you can directly engage with the profile from the list itself. You donot have to go anywhere else. You can send DM or Messages directly from the console and its much efficient and productive.

You can search people in Buzzom by typing keywords on the top search text box. Once you search for any keywords, you will be presented with an advance Option. Click on the Advance options and insert your criteria.

On the user list, you can click on details to view bio or click on ‘@’ to send messages to the profile.

We hope buzzom user will enjoy this new feature and leverage their profiles.

How to monitor your brand when people are not talking in your language

If you are using Twitter for brand promotion, you might have faced the language barrier at some point or the other. This becomes a problem specially if the brand you are monitoring serves a global client. Most of the time we end up ignoring the language we don’t understand and that causes a loss in data which can give you a biased result in your analysis.

If you have tried manually translating, you would know what a pain it is. If you haven’t, I would seriously ask you not to even consider the idea. You would eventually give up after translating a couple anyway. Now I want to know what people are talking about Buzzom and I have a tool to monitor my brand ‘Buzzom’. I can see all that people are talking about Buzzom and also take necessary action and when I come across an update in a language I don’t understand, the translate button lets me translate the update in my language with just one single click.

Though the transalation like any translation tool is not 100%  perfect and might give you broken sentences but nevertheless you get an idea on what the person is talking about.

Whats interesting is that not only do I get to listen to these people but I can also reply to them in their language.

The system shows the original language of the tweet. I can just write the message, select the language and click on reply.

So now none of the Tweets will go ignored!

How to view threaded conversation in Twitter

Today, Buzzom has made a new feature addition its interface. Currently, every tweet and replies that you see in your Twitter Stream doesn’t show any threaded conversation. Therefore it is very difficult to track down the conversation in Twitter.

Buzzom brings a threaded conversation view to your interface making your life much easier. Now, when ever you see your replies, you can simple click on the “Show Conversation” to view the past conversation.

Here is the conversation of mine with BusinessWire in Buzzom.

In this conversation, simply click on ‘Show Conversation’ :

As you click on Show Conversation, you can view all the old conversation. You can now go through them and simply click on reply to respond.

Hope you enjoy our new feature which will allows you to engage with your network in better ways. If you have any feed-backs, please note them below in the comment.
