The social media monitoring space is changing quickly & there have been many acquisitions of late. One year ago Alterian had the foresight to acquire Techrigy SM2. Over the course of a year SM2 has evolved into a tool that every enterprise marketer should rely on. Destination CRM.com quotes Forrester Analyst, Zach Hofer-Shall, “… that when he spoke to billion-dollar companies they “very often” had an Alterian SM2 dashboard in place for one or many of their social functions.”

In the video, Aaron Newman, founder of SM2, outlines how SM2 has always had deep analytics and now has so much more including:

  • a dashboard that takes the user interface to the next level
  • over 9 billion pieces of content (no other tool has this depth!)
  • metadata which includes 36 fields
  • sentiment analysis in 16 languages
  • language detection in 22 languages
  • ability to drill in to every chart


SM2 is very transparent in presenting it’s data. You can see how sentiment, tone, location, etc are all determined. Most importantly, SM2 is part of an integrated marketing platform. Marketers can also choose from web analytics, web content management, email, database and analytics.

You can try the Freemium version of SM2 here.
