Have you heard of Smart Tags?
According to Wikipedia, the original use of Smart Tags was a selection-based search feature found in later versions of Microsoft Word, and beta versions of the Internet Explorer 6 web browser. Smart Tags are now being used in many other ways: one is QR (Quick Response) codes and they’re proving to be really useful in social media monitoring.
There is so much data out there that figuring out what’s just noise and what’s relevant can be an overwhelming task. Adding Smart Tags to the data and then filtering the conversations based on your tags can help you decipher the trends, sentiment and competitive intelligence you need to plan your content and social media activities.
