RSS subscriptions are up. You might expect that this blog that has been written almost entirely by me for two years would experience a bit of a lull during this period, as different authors with less blogging experience took over.

You can also set up various searches from Google, Twitter, etc and run the RSS feeds from each search through Yahoo Pipes and have the resulting feed delivered to your inbox or RSS reader to monitor ongoing. Socialmention.com is basically a social search engine, if the business name is unique it can be a good option. Hope that helps!
