Here's a little information overload for you. Links to blogs associated with social media analysis companies. Most are linked to companies in the the Guide to Social Media Analysis. Some are more work-oriented than others, but there are some good sources in here.

Wow. That's a lot of reading to do. Thanks for the mention.
Duncan and I found it simultaneously this morning and skyped about it (despite sitting about 3 feet apart - I was on the phone).
Nathan, I have taken the liberty of creating a customized version of Particls based on your OPML file.
You can download it and it will automatically harvest information from all those sources on the ticker and popup alerts.
I'm running it now - thank's for taking the time to put this together!
You can get it: http://intouch.particls.com/download/?mode=3&pid=1084&feed=http%3A//net-savvy.com/executive/sma_bloggers.opml
Cheers,
Chris
Matt, thanks. That link led me to Planet Social Media Research, which got me thinking about the relevant aggregators. My intention with this list was to focus on blogs linked to companies in the market (you're grandfathered). A complete list of relevant links would be insane to compile.
Will: You should see the rest of my feeds! I really need to go clean house again.
Chris: Cool! Wish I could see it (Mac user).
Interesting list but you're missing a few of us.. including KDPaine & Partners (www.measuresofsuccess.com) -- I've actually been doing social media analysis since 1995. You can see our work at www.diydashboard.com -- log in as guest using the password kdpaine.
Also, Jeremiah Owyang has compiled a similar list that you might want to refer to here: http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2006/11/25/companies-that-measure-social-media-influence-brand/
Hi, Katie. I added your blog to the list. We should talk about your company for the Guide, too.
Caught this first at Social Media Today and wanted to drop by and thank-you once again for putting this together and for the mention Nathan!

You should also include www.mediameter.it the first italian blog focusing on socialmedia analysis (with some info of our new online WOM measurement platform called BlogMeter: www.blogmeter.it)
Hi Nathan, I know you know this, but for those finding this post for the first time, Metrica's blog, Measurement Matters, focuses on social media measurement too - it is at www.metrica.net/measurementmatters
Cheers, Richard
