Spy.appspot.com - Eavesdropping Made Easy

A tool that serves a very specific function, Spy empowers its users to listen on any social media conversations he is interested in, without having to take part of it or showing that he is listening at all. Hence the title of the review.





All you have to do to use this system is provide a search query and hit the “Spy” button which is provided. That is it. There is no need to create an account beforehand, nor log in to the site providing any kind of information whatsoever.

A series of recommendations are featured next to the search box, highlighting current trends and letting you see how the social landscape is conformed at a glance. Moreover, when you conduct a search you can choose how many results will be displayed by clicking on the existing drop down menu. In this case, the options range from 25 to 100 entries per results page.

This new initiative is presented by Mr. Ben Hedrington. As always, feedback is appreciated, so don’t hesitate to contact him at ben@hedrington.com and put forward any thoughts you might have on his contribution to the social media scene.
