Strings.com intros extends tracker service to Twitter

The idea behind the inclusion of Twitter, the company says, is that it gives internet users a simple way to add links they tweet to their activity streams on Strings.com and to share their activity on the Strings portal through Twitter.

The most interesting aspects of the free-to-use beta test service, Infosecurity notes, is that it allows all past and future links to be aggregated and streamed on Strings.com.

Strings users can then automatically publish items they track onto Twitter in real time.

Using the fledgeling service, Infosecurity notes it becomes possible for IT security specialists to monitor most of the interactive web portals and internet users they are linked to, using a single web interface, with keyword activity searching.

The Twitter integration includes a new tracker in Strings' suite that also includes sites like Amazon, iTunes, YouTube, and Netflix.

According to Strings, its beta test service has already tracked 1.5 million unique events on the internet since it opened last month, and the Twitter support is certain to increase the number of events being tracked in real time.

Edward Balassanian, the firm's founder and CEO, said that Strings.com was lanched with the goal of creating a single online destination for organizing all your personal activity and discovering new, meaningful content.

"Twitter integration is another step towards achieving this goal, providing users with a simple way to add links they tweet to their activity streams on strings.com and to share their activity on Strings through Twitter", he said.

In parallel with the extension to Twitter, Strings has introduced a browser extension for Mozilla Firefox that allows users to add webpages to activity streams on Strings.com.
