Overflight Service Adds Google Social Media Blog to Monitoring List

) February 17, 2009 -- ArnoldIT.com recently expanded and updated its Google Web log news stream service, Overflight, with Google's Social Media blog and more.


Overflight is an very useful news monitoring tool developed by ArnoldIT.com to track certain content from Google's more than 74 "official" blogs. Overflight is available for use at http://www.arnoldit.com/overflight/ at no charge. The splash page for this free service includes directions on how to test it.

Most of the people with whom I speak are familiar with one or two of these publications

However, when monitoring Google's innovations, it is important to be able to get a quick view of what's new on each of these publications.

"Most of the people with whom I speak are familiar with one or two of these publications," ArnoldIt.com Managing Partner Stephen E. Arnold said of Google's blogs. "However, when monitoring Google's innovations, it is important to be able to get a quick view of what's new on each of these publications."


The Overflight service allows users to review news from Google's own group of topic areas such as companywide news and announcements, product and developer information, social media roundups and much more. Combined with ArnoldIT's new Google Patent search service at http://arnoldit.perfectsearchcorp.com/, Overflight can be used to triangulate Google activity.


ArnoldIT.com can develop an Oversight service tailored to client needs. To discuss a customized intelligence service, contact Arnold at sa [at] arnoldit.com.
