Thanks for pulling this report together Nathan. With the need for social media listening and outreach becoming a key area for every brand to act on, your newly updated report is again quite timely.

Thanks, David. I'm ready to go back to sleeping at night now. ;-)
I know you've been working hard on this for a long time. Must be nice to see your hard work come to fruition. Congratulations!

Techrigy, Inc.
Congratulations Nathan. Your 145 pages beats my 100! And some companies in there I didn't know about. Look forward to sinking into it and comparing notes.

Congratulations on a really excellent report and thank you for including Metrica. As social media continues to integrate into mainstream communication programmes it's encouraging to see representation of traditional specialist measurement agencies in there too. Now go get some sleep!

Nathan--again, congrats on the 2nd edition--I thought you might be able to get through it with a bit more sleep this year, but with so many new entrants, I'm sure it ended up being more, not less, work!
It's a great resource and I think all of your hard work in pulling this together is worth it.
