WEB METRICS GURU — I’m currently evaluating ViralHeat and trying to make up my mind on how it fits into the Social Media Monitoring space, I had an free account for close to a week and was made aware of ViralHeat’s relaunch by Jason Falls who I saw two weeks ago at Event Camp here in NYC. Jason wrote a post last week on Viralheat Plants Stake As Affordable Social Media Monitoring Solution.
