Netvibes Previews Social Pack Analytics

Netvibes is adding what it calls "adaptive social analytics" to its monitoring system, creating a complete platform for both monitoring and analytics. Netvibes Social Pack is entering private beta for existing Netvibes Premium Dashboard users and will be publicly available for individual professionals starting late July.

Netvibes claims to be the first to offer an integrated platform for both monitoring and analytics--functions it says other products tend to address separately. This allows brand managers to switch seamlessly between media monitoring and analytics to follow interconnected trends, influencers, and ideas in real-time, the company said in a statement.

Netvibes also provided a video preview.
