I’ve written in the past about the tools I use for social engagement. Today, two of those tools came together in the form of a Talkwalker app for Hootsuite.

I use Talkwalker to get alerts for keywords like my brand and name and the titles of my books. I use Hootsuite to post to social networks and monitor keywords, hashtags and Twitter lists. Now I can work with both in new ways.

The integration allow you to:

• Monitor websites including major newspapers, blogs, forums, and other social data across the world;
• Log into your existing Talkwalker Alerts account, and instantly find all your Alerts now displayed as reader-friendly HootSuite streams, or,
• Sign up for a new Talkwalker Alerts account straight from HootSuite within a matter of seconds (see the video tutorial.)
• Share interesting content to your social communities in real time (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, WordPress…) in one click.

The sharing aspect is probably my favorite element – now when I get an alert that I want to share I can do it without leaving the Hootsuite app.

If you’re already a HootSuite and Talkwalker user, you can install the Talkwalker app in HootSuite or Sign up for HootSuite and install the Talkwalker app.
