Andrew FrankUPDATE: word now comes from Marcel at Radian6 that two of our respondents, Radian6 and Cision, have announced a partnership…
Continuing yesterday’s surge of interest in the dogfood experiment, I’m happy to offer the roundup of rapid responders. Since the responses were unfortunately divided between two blogs, one of which was moderated, the relative order of responses given below is approximate, although I believe the overall timeframe to be accurate.
I probably don’t have to say this, but let me know if you believe there are any errors or omissions here.
Note that this is a more detailed version of the list of respondents posted the day after the initial test, and adds some companies that have commented since.

Clearly the people that responded within minutes have too much time on their hands

Andrew:
What if you are interested in understanding what is being said and why? Rapid response matters – but only for a particular use.

Tom.
I couldn’t agree more. There’s much more to social media marketing intelligence than speed of response. Nor is a company’s attention to monitoring its own own brand necessarily an indication of whether their products provide good value. That’s why I’ve tried to portray this as an informal experiment, not to be confused with actionable research.

Andrew,
And the plot thickens. In an interesting sort of post-modernism meets the meta move, you respond to the post about you trying to get others to respond. Well done. Has us all guessing about your next move. Better get out my predictive software
Also ~ thanks for the link-back and credit.

While I agree that first to respond doesn’t mean all that much, more and more of our clients are holding our feet to the fire to collect and analyze information faster and faster each year. Thanks for including us.

Thanks Andrew! What’s interesting to me (and perhaps you as well) is that many of us, who were not on you original list, did participate. In our case, because we are following our competitors (obviously with our own “dog food”)……….as well as ourselves.

Hi Andrew — tnx for the continuing attention on this. One of the larger challenges is, of course, that most brands are not yet organized effectively to respond to the listening. Infusing listening within an organization (hr, legal,communications, etc) is the real challenge and where converseon is focusing much energy. Rapidly capturing the conversation is just a small but critical first step in an enterprise listening workflow. Making it actionable within complex organizations is the far larger challenge. Evaluating tangible brand responsiveness over time (beyond “we hear you”)is the true test, albeit much more challenging to devise. Cheers.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the mention and interesting litmus test on “industry ears” — social media measurement and measurement in general will continue to be pressured to become increasingly real-time in nature. I think we need to increase the scope of measurement dramatically to include the activities of organizations and relate those back to the kinds of media results a company achieves – food for thought.
Best regards,

Your point about correlating activities (both media and otherwise) with “media results” (which could have a variety of meanings) is a good one…but I also think there’s a danger in exclusive focus on the real-time aspects of social media, which can sometimes come at the expense of analysis and strategy. I think a balance is needed to avoid continuous reactivity.
