Introducing Pythia: Social Analytics

July 2, 2007 by ian

We've just launched a free social media analytics tool. It's called Pythia.

The free version of Pythia measures your marketing campaigns based on several metrics:

Links pointing to your site, according to Yahoo!.
Pages from your site in the Yahoo! index.
Links pointing to your site, according to Technorati.
Posts mentioning your site, according to Del.icio.us.
And mentions of your site on Bloglines.
Changes in all of these metrics, over time.

The paid version also adds:

Site ranking for specific keywords.
Changes in rankings over time.

Pythia doesn't re-invent anything, nor is it revolutionary in the data it collects. It is, however, a great dashboard, and one of a very small handful of tools that collect and save these metrics so that you can see changes over time.

Here's what it looks like:
