We’ve launched an app!
We decided to spend the last week building our own simple but useful web application. HowSociable provides an easy way for you to begin measuring your brand’s visibility on the social web.
You can try it right now here: http://howsociable.com
We took the same development approach that we take with our Inuda Engineering client work, with just a couple of exceptions:
1. We don’t ever recommend that our clients take the risk of making an application public after just one iteration
2. We don’t usually do design work
We’ll be sharing more about the approach we’ve taken over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got loads of ideas about how we can improve HowSociable, but we think the best way to shape a web app into something really useful is through user feedback. You can share your ideas here: http://feedback.howsociable.com and vote on suggestions made by other users.

Very cool. But the scores for one brand only mean something in relation to another brand. How are the scores weighted?

Very good.Getting visibility seems to be a very sophisticated process.It shows I have a lot to learn and lot of work to do…but first I’ll have a cup of tea and a scone.

@phr0ggi Glad you like HowSociable!
We’ve just written up an explanation of how our scores are currently calculated here: http://howsociable.wordpress.com/2008/08/08/our-visibility-score/
