Real-time monitoring of tweets by keyword and user location is now available through Twiloco, a free browser-based tool and ios and Android mobile monitoring app from UK developer Triden Elite.
Twiloco’s highly accurate, co-ordinate based filtering is as close to GPS accuracy as you can get. Users can monitor tweets live or opt to receive reports by email at selected times.
Twiloco Premium adds a powerful presentation tool for displaying a scrolling wall of live or selected tweets for projection at events or embedding in a web page. Available on monthly no-contract subscription, Twiloco Premium presentations are fully customisable.
Listen to local talk
Twiloco is aimed at Twitter power users, social media managers and events management companies to show what people say about you, generate sales leads and monitor how well your hashtags are trending.
“We’ve built Twiloco so users can listen to what people are saying about them locally through more accurate location filtering,†said Lex Barrow of Triden Elite.
“We’ve made Twiloco easy to use on mobiles and PC, giving people the options to monitor live or through reports emailed to them.
“Twiloco Premium’s Presentation View gives event managers maximum value from their search results by automatically generating professional presentations reflecting their own corporate identities. They can project these live at events or embed them on web sites.â€Â
Monitoring – sign in, add keyword and location, press start
Social listening is easy with Twiloco: sign in with your Twitter account, type in chosen keyword(s) or phrase(s) and specify a geographical location. Start search to display a list of all new tweets containing your keywords posted by Twitter users at your specified location or who list it in their profile location field.
Click on user Twitter profiles or tweets to visit or follow, retweet, favorite or delete tweets.
Reporting – background monitoring reports by email
Twiloco Reporting offers an alternative to live monitoring by emailing you PDF reports of tweets it filters over a given period. Click to email a one-off report of current tweets or leave Twiloco to run in the background and opt to receive a report daily, every three days or weekly.
Presentation View – project or embed scrolling tweet presentations
Create a fully branded presentation using Twiloco Premium’s Presentation View to add logos, graphics, text and your corporate colours. Customise both header and footer as well as tweet background and text colours.
Choose whether to display user profile images and tweet date and time stamps, then set how many seconds you want a tweet to be displayed.
Choose a live Twitter ‘wall’ filtered by your search terms or build a custom selection from tweets favorited with the Twitter account registered. Auto approval accepts all live tweets, while manual approval enables full moderation.
Presentation View also generates the embed code to paste your presentation into your web pages as well as a link you can email to clients to view your presentation online.
Secure and robust system
Triden Elite built Twiloco on tried and tested platforms to ensure it is secure and robust.
“Twiloco is a secure system – all we collect is a user’s email address,†continued Lex Barrow. “All other data is authenticated by Twitter and payments for premium accounts are handled by Stripe.
“We host Twiloco on Hetzner servers in Germany, which deliver 12-second redundancy before auto-resuming. If a listening session is interrupted, it restarts within seconds.â€Â
Twiloco is available as a free version, returning a maximum of 50 results on up to 250 keywords before resetting, while Twiloco Premium gives up to 500 results and full presentation capabilities.
Professional and enterprise accounts are also available for managing multiple Twitter accounts.
Twiloco is available in the UK, European and US markets.
