ListiMonkey

Waza?

The idea is pretty straight forward. Instead of being alerted whenever someone tweets something, with ListiMonkey you can be alerted whenever someone belonging to a Twitter List of your choice tweets about something.

Wafor?

Let's say you want to be alerted whenever one of your local politicians is talking about a defined issue, or whenever an influencer in your industry is talking about your competitor, or whatever... possibilities are endless.

How often do I get an alert?

At the moment we only offer one mode: "hourly". It means that every hour, we check if someone in the list has tweeted with your keyword. If so, an email is sent to you, if your keyword(s) didn't appear in the list timeline, no email alert will be sent.

We will shortly offer digest modes. Stay tuned (you can follow us on twitter @ListiMonkey to keep in touch).

How to remove an alert?

In each email that you will receive, there is a link at the bottom that you can use to remove your alert.

How can I promote my Twitter List?

You can directly link to http://listimonkey.com/YourTwitterAccount/YourListName and it will prefill the above form so that your visitor will only have to enter the keywords and email address. You can even suggest keywords by adding them at the end of URL:
http://listimonkey.com/YourTwitterAccount/YourListName/SuggestedKeywords

Can I create more than one alert?

Yeah, sure!
To do so, repeat the exact same process. You'll be asked to validate your email for each new alert. That's normal, it's to make sure that nobody will create a new alert on your behalve.

Homuch?

Well, to be honest, I don't know.
If you appear to be in the Bay Area, you can always invite me for a beer (I'm originally from Belgium and it's difficult to hide my origin).

Better, if you know people interested in funding an early stage startup in the Twitter/Media space, any introduction are always welcome!

Regarding ListiMonkey specifically, at this point I'm first focusing on making it work and scale. We'll talk about monetization later but donations are very much appreciated.

About the author

Made (quickly, not to say 24h) by @xdamman, 26, web entrepreneur from Belgium who just moved to San Francisco.

I'm very passionate about media and about how we can better broadcast voices that the world should hear.
Today it has become more expensive to cover stories on the ground than covering stories about Britney Spears. It's time to change that.
I want to develop the first market place for Real-time Reporters. Journalists or Reporters who want to cover stories on the ground using Twitter, be published and be paid by publishers.

I'm currently looking for a co-founder in the bay area passionate about the topic. Any contact in the media industry or in the Angels community are also more than welcome. Ping me.

I have more questions...

Ok ok, you can send them using twitter to @ListiMonkey or by email to support@listimonkey.com
