Crowdbooster was a tool to measure the success of Twitter and Facebook posts, with visualizations to track retweets, and track potential impressions created, likes, comments, and how many shares a Facebook post has received. Crowdbooster is no longer available.

SlapFive in Boston offers what they describe as a Customer-Generated Content Machine software tool, which aims to make it simple for companies, and enjoyable for company clients, to capture their voice and inject it into all aspects of the business to win and retain more customers.
Before recommending Crowdbooster, I'd want to know what goals they hope to accomplish with the software. Then I would want them to specifically identify what types of metrics would be most useful to their program. If they specifically need to report out on how many people in a certain location they reached, this isn't the right fit. If they are using other tools, there may be duplication. However, if they are currently using more budget-friendly solutions or just getting started with a new program, Crowdbooster is a perfect fit. It will help you to grow your program and is flexible enough to accommodate your needs.
If you want to capture your customer's voice with ease and have a path to break the reels down into actionable insights for prospects that attach to their biggest questions, fears, and doubts, then this is what you are looking for. This is for those prospects that will not be "bothered" with marketing fluff or marketing speak. These are the types of buyers who want to drill into the heart of what they are trying to solve as a business and see and hear from personas and businesses which look like them.

The ranked order of twitter followers and the number of "tweet impressions" did not help that much. Those "tweet impressions" were not really an estimate of how many people were actually reading my tweet. It was simply a sum of followers of the person retweeting a tweet and the sum of all followers from a subsequent retweet of the initial retweet. All this told me was the best case scenario I could expect if ALL followers of a person that retweeted saw my tweet. This is not a true measure of "twitter footprint" – since the “signal to noise” ratio in Twitter is very low.
There was no system in place to track "clicked links" for links embedded in tweets and/or facebook wall posts. Hootsuite did a good job of this – but only for twitter.
The list of recommended times to tweet were always "on the hour" (i.e. 10 a.m, 1 p.m.). Never were the times ever at "half past the hour" etc. An independent study that I did on my own using Google Analytics (and campaign links using google's URL builder) helped me determine that my optimal "Tweet time" during the week is 3:30 p.m. ET. More importantly, the recommended times seemed to be roughly the same on the weekends - which I find strange given that social media behavior does change on the weekends.
Occasionally, in my facebook ranked table of "loyal fans", I would see people in there that had not "liked" or "commented" on a post for months at a stretch and the "look back" period of the table was only around 7 days or so. Hence, I occasionally had to question the accuracy of that table.
Speed of the platform for users. This could be because we have a LOT of content, but it can at times be a pain point that we work to address together with the SlapFive team.
Ease of search function could get better. I have trouble doing searches and sometimes get time-out issues.
Having a "user portal" so we know when there might be bugs being worked on or a service issue that is being worked on without having to email someone each time. More for self-service and tracking.
Simple to use and a great value for what it offers. It has a simple but clean interface and it provides fantastic historical data you can use to measure your efforts online. By using a tool like Crowdbooster, you can see what is working with your audience and what isn't. From there, you can start tweaking your strategies
I found it fairly intuitive and easy to use. The information is laid out cleanly, and the most important information appears at a glance on the home page. However, I have worked with other users who had a hard time switching between platforms and identifying where other information was buried. It's not always clear that something is a clickable button! The option to export results is also a bit buried, and not integrated with the date range option.
I do not think it is as supported as it once was when it first arrived on the social media scene. It is an older platform whose main functionality may have already ran its course.
A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info
It is a platform that is singularly focused. It does not have a lot of the additions that come stock with other platforms such as robust reporting or deeper insights past schedule times. It is also a stand-alone platform and a lot of its primary functionality can be found in more encompassing platforms.

I'd say it's a bit simpler than RO Innovation, but also much more affordable, especially considering their video capture capabilities which RO Innovation does not have.
Increased efficiency. I am able to generate useful snapshot reports in seconds. Particularly useful when you need answers fast (such as on a phone call).
Peace of mind. I am able to compare the data in Crowdbooster to what is exported from Facebook and Twitter.
Quicker, simpler evaluation of results. I am able to more easily compare impressions with engagement data to see what is working, and what should change. Particularly useful in day-to-day analysis.
We have raised our portfolio even higher where we dominate our market when it comes to having the best relationship with our customers across everything we do. Website, peer-to-peer review sites, customer stories, customer references, and MORE. I believe it's because we BELIEVE in the same ETHOS as SlapFive, and we LIVE to make HEROS every day of our customers and infuse the sound of our customer's voices in everything we do.
Product Marketing DEPTH of customer's voice is beyond what anyone else in software technology businesses has done. It's typical that product goes and "does product" all day long, and customer marketing does its own separate work, and never the tween shall meet. Not so at Acumatica. Nothing leaves our Product Marketing teams desk without customer voice connected now. The ease of SlapFive Customer Marketing Software's platform and our broad adoption make this possible.
