Social Media Monitoring tracks ManFlu!
Two weeks ago I had the worst case of MANFLU! anyone has ever had. Or at least that is how it felt, it was much worse than the strain of flu either my wife or children had suffered from but thankfully I have survived and feel much better. Throughout this illness I started to wonder just how many other people were in my predicament. With that thought in mind I fired up Radian6, created a topic profile to search the social sphere for conversation threads around ManFlu!
Almost immediately I felt better, hundreds of other people were actively talking about their ailments.
