Comments

Realtidbits gets its name from two parts: the real in real-time and the bits in tidbits. Together we enable publishers to create a social layer on top of their content where users can share their reactions with each other. What follows are some of the high-level features our products tout. But the real value comes from how you work with our products:

• You own your data.
• Your social layer should have your branding and your branding alone.
• You should feel free to create or license plugins to work freely with our products and your data.

Analytics

Our analytics will work with your pre-existing analytics service (currently we support Omniture, Google Analytics and Mixpanel). And all of our products will send events to your analytics service automatically. So if you think engagement is as important to measure as pageviews and time on site, our products come with the capability pre-packed. Just sign up for our analytics services to connect the two.

Event and Engagement Analytics

We go beyond traditional analytics to provide you with engagement analytics. That is, how your users are interacting with the content on your site. Event analytics include replies, likes and social sharing and more. Imagine any interaction you want to measure and we can hook it into our events listeners and record it to your analytics service of choice. What’s more, we can do this for all Realtidbits products, any third-party plugins or backplane-enabled products and any third-party JavaScript on your page.

It’s Real Time

See your analytics tally in real time. No need to refresh the page. See events track as they happen.

User Profiles

See how your power users are engaging. Drill down to see the activity for a specific user. Their stream shows how many times they have posted, liked, shared items and more.

Automatic Cohort Analysis

The cohort analysis allows you to measure engagement over time. If retention is one of your most highly-valued metrics, our Mixpanel integration does that automatically. We track which events lead to the greatest retention automatically.

Automatic Audience Segmentation

Audience Segmentation offers an extremely sophisticated way to learn how certain groups of your users are using your website. Create segments based on actual behavior instead such as how many times a user has made a comment or liked a page on your site. Create your personas and track them in their own buckets of data to see how you can move participants up the ladder of engagement.

Unlimited Access to Your Dashboard

Your analytics are available to you any time. No need to wait for a monthly report. Log on and check our your stats any time.

Include Third-Party Interactions

We realize you use other products in your social mix. That’s fine. Our universal event handler can include those events in the same dashboard. Some third-parties we already integrate with include AddThis and YouTube.
 

SocialBridge

We’ll add activity from anywhere on the social web to your site for all your users to interact with. Use a hashtag or username from popular social networks such as Twitter and Instagram or show Facebook comments from your Facebook page. Please contact us to have SocialBridge set up for your account.

The conversation isn’t happening just on your pages. We get it. So do your users. Using SocialBridge, we pull in parts of the conversation that originate elsewhere and allow folks on your site to view that content, interact with it, and share it back out again.

Realtime Image Galleries

Case Study: USA Network

USA Network uses SocialBridge to pull in content from Twitter, Twitpic and Instagram for their official Suits and Style hastags. They use our Gallery to display the images where users can interact with them.

Social Sync

Case Study: America’s Next Top Model

The CW and America’s Next Top Model use SocialBridge to keep Facebook, Twitter and CWTV.com users on the same page… literally. Since they do a lot of their community-building on Facebook and Twitter, they use SocialBridge to bring it all into one place where everyone plays nicely with each other.

Social Media Campaigns

Case Study: Dollar Shave Club

Dollar Shave Club uses SocialBridge to pull in photos and videos from Twitter, Twitpic, Instagram, Youtube and Vimeo. They are so popular their customers are sharing their unboxing experiences online. What’s more, they also run promos to give away cool new products to their favorite photographers.

Social Sharing Hub

Case Study: SocialBridge and Pinboard by Realtidbits

We combined Social Sync and the Pinboard to create an awesome real-time experience. Instead of being populated by bookmarked content from users, our Pinboard also can automatically inject content from social media via SocialBridge. Why wait for users when the content is already out there?

Pinboard

Think of Pinboard as your own private scrapboard. Only instead of it being private, it’s public. And instead of it being lame, it’s awesome. Our Pinboard isn’t put together with tape and glue, magazine clippings and polaroids, it’s put together with links, images, videos and songs from around the web. It’s also filled with the same realtime interactive goodness that comes along with any Realtidbits experience.
