Seattle Social Central is a website I recently helped to launch in partnership with my friends at 20 Decibels – a Seattle company developing social media tools. The new site is an aggregator for all of the tweets coming in, around and through people and businesses in the Seattle area. Even if you don’t live here, I’d like you to take a look at this and give us your feedback. If this works well for Seattle, we’re considering creating the site for cities all over the world!
With the network, you have the ability to categorize people and contacts. You’ll find categories for nearly everything, from social meda experts to photographers to bakers! We’re also rendering certa data inline. For instance, if someone posts a photo onto Twitter, you don’t have to click a link to see it. Our network will pull the thumbnail in for you!
We also have an Activities channel. You’ll find things such as shopping, entertainment and even music here. Any time someone tweets things that fall into one of those categories from Seattle, they will show up in the appropriate activity channel.
There’s a News channel, which is broken down into local, tech news, and world news. This will pull in all types of news-related tweets, and keep them organized for you so you can find out what’s going on quickly. There’s also a drill-down of local Seattle-area neighborhoods. If your specific neighborhood is mentioned on Twitter, it’s going to show up here!
You’ll also find options to sort by sports, politics and jobs! If you’re looking for a job in the Seattle area – or wanting to hire someone – this is an excellent place to search!
My favorite part of this site is that you’ll see in-line replies to tweets. For instance, Brian Stetler tweeted, asking a question about using his DVR for a particular show. West Seattle Blog replied with an @ message to Brian, so it shows up directly underneath his. This makes it much easier to keep track of what’s going on.
Take some time to look around, and let me know what you think. Do you feel this is something that would be beneficial to your community?
