Your Brand In Realtime

The punch: a simple little twitter reader (using summize api) to track your brand/concepts/friends in real time. This app is very early stage so use with care.

The backstory:
We are in the age of twitter (hopefully it wont last too long because I have trouble explaining anything in less than 140 characters) and as of this moment it is the ultimate barometer on your brand.

I never thought much of twitter (A] because I am over 35 and B] I have no interest in sharing everything) until summize.com and other such services came along. Now with these tools we have immediate feedback and reading on anything.

CC made this awesome little app over the weekend to help track topics (mainly things we had released). Though it was its was primarily for personal use, we have decided to put it up mainly because of an interesting rant/challenge from the mashable guy (those crazy british) and mr techcrunch himself.

If you don’t want to install the app, definitely check out summize.com. Their deal with huffinton post is gonna be interesting
