Viralheat – Another Real-Time Social Media Tracking Tool
By Anna Johnson on May 30th, 2009Here’s yet another social media tracking tool for you to check out. Currently in private beta, Viralheat tracks consumer generated content about a person, brand or company on 30 online video sites such as YouTube, Hulu and Vimeo, along with Twitter.
Viralheat’s Twitter tool provides data about the volume of mentions given to a person / brand / company per day and per week, along with a range of other data. The video tool, meanwhile, shows you how much a person, brand or company has been mentioned across 30 video sites, based on various metrics.
All the data is exportable and you can share data snapshots with the public. Also, there’s a trends page which displays trends about people and brands per subject category.
According to TechCrunch, you’ll be able to use Viralheat to track 10 profiles for $10 per month and 50 profiles for $40 per month. While Viralheat’s non-video site tracking is currently limited to Twitter, there are also plans to incorporate more social media sites into the service (at no extra cost).

It’s not really another tool if it costs 10 bucks. I think it is a game changer and it seems to do more than the other guys.

Great point Jennifer. The price makes Viralheat very attractive.
