I think this is really cool - we’ve started using this for aggregating some of our m&a research and it works well; it woudl be good to be able to personalise/change the layout more - there’s often too much on a page and its focus on consumer based sites is a bit annoying … when you’re trying to track industrial/technology companies the website stats and blog feature are pretty irrelevant

[...] Page Summary: I would gladly pay a subscription fee for it. Audio search to know when competitors are mentioned in podcasts could be good.

I really like it. My job is to keep tracks on what our competitors are doing, but I have always found it hard to pass on the wealth of information I pick up onto the marketing team for instance. With something like this, I could clip the most important articles to respective competitors and the marketing team can get as much or as little out of it as they wish - they could simply browse the articles at a time of their choosing to catch up with the most important news, or subscribe to an RSS feed for everything I post.

Sure, I could do all of this in something like del.icio.us, but 1) its a competitor product and 2) isnt specifically made for this purpose and as such can appear daunting to who I want to send the links to.

[...] I just saw this free tool called Competitious on TechCrunch and it looks like it might be pretty handy for anyone looking to keep tabs on their competitors. It’s pretty simple, but it’s probably a good start for most people. Before this, we’ve been using a variety of spreadsheets offline and online (google spreadsheets), RSS feeds and sporadic browsing. Competitious basically tries to consolidate those activities into a nice slick (ajax-ified) interface. It’s free to signup and use and you can create multiple projects and invite people to have access to your project. Here are some of the core features: [...]

Definitely looks lightweight but it is a first try and they will be implementing all of our suggestions I did an hour demo with Buzzlogic yesterday, which could be part of my CI toolbox along with Competitious. Mashing up both, with a few more advanced CI tools would be an amazing, affordable service.

I’m critical about the products posted here, but I like this.

I have a few projects I’m developing and already I found interesting post via competitious (btw terrible name).

Also, for the most part I’m not using all the other stuff posted on TC. I just don’t have the time for Beebo, MySpace, etc. But this actually saves me time by helping manage the web surfing I would normally do on my competitors.

Not sure of their business plan though - I guess eventually it will cost $ for premium services where you can track like 3 or more “projects”, etc.

But it’s simple, clean and easy to use and actually practical for someone who builds web apps that focuses on taking a competitors idea and making it better.

nice.

nice too. too bad the project detail page doesnt work for Safari, like the blog and features sections.

and James, it’s made with Ruby on Rails…not django.

Sigh, the old ideas are always the best We developed something very similar using search agents 9 years ago. This is very cool though, and can be used for much more than tracking competitors.

Finally a good idea. I was getting tired of seeing all these RSS feed readers and social networking/bookmarking sites pop all over the place.

Best of luck. And features such as keywords the competitors rank high for and the google adwords stats, etc, would make this really useful.
