The Ashes of Grimsvötn

Although the ashes of the Grimsvötn volcano seem to have passed, several major airlines and airports were not spared, online!
Our team looked at the buzz around the ash cloud and which airports and airlines were talked about the most. We’re thankful it wasn’t another Eyjafjallajökull!

We looked at both social and mainstream media online over the past week and measured to find out the volume of tweets, flights cancelled, where the information was coming from, etc. Check it out below and let us know what you think ;)

This past Monday, we took the plunge and launched Unity, an enterprise social media monitoring and engagement platform.

If you haven’t yet heard about Unity, check out the video below to find out more :


 

A screenshot and a video, however, can only tell so much. Which is why we’d like to invite you to a webinar

Next Wednesday, May 18th at 12 noon ET, 5pm GMT, 6pm Paris

Unity is the only social media engagement platform that allows you to respond directly to blog posts and forum threads without ever leaving the platform. You can also create various “workspaces” to break a social media silo and allow for enterprise-wide collaboration. Different levels of access allow you to manage security access to different workspaces, and performance indicators show how your brand and community managers are doing.

The webinar will last one hour and Ben Farkas, Synthesio’s U.S. Director, will demonstrate the various functions of Unity and respond to questions.
