Is this actually just only for startups, or is anyone eligible who might get under 500 mentions a month? I work for a mid-sized company that isn't really startuppy anymore, but I think the marketing folks would love to try this out. I don't think we get >500 mentions a month, but if we did, I could definitely see them making the investment.
It's just how they named the plan: "The Startup plan is perfect for businesses, side projects or individuals who get less than 500 brand mentions on Twitter each month."
Hi Dave, yep - absolutely fine to use the free account. Let me know if you guys run into any issues or have any feedback.
The Hipmunk demo miscategorizes most of the "neutral" tweets: http://recon.io/demo/neutral
About 50% of those are easily positive with quite a few more that could fall into the positive category without much debate.

You're right, we're improving the sentiment filter constantly but it's not quite perfect yet. I have some updates to push live that should improve that detection a bit further.
This is good news - thanks guys. I tried www.recon.io out for my project a few months ago and it was great but I think my trial expired or something. Going to take a look at it again and take advantage of the startup plan.

Nice one! Give me a shout if you run into any issues or need a hand with getting set up: [email protected]
Not really free for startups. Free for anyone under 500 mentions a month. I normally think of startups as companies who are less than 2 years old and under 10 employees.
Just tried this for my project, the alerting looks like it will be most valuable to me. Hopefully I can stop monitoring my saved Twitter search and just use this.
How is this better than mention?
Try it out - it analyses each tweet to work out what it's about, so instead of being alerted to everything you can (for example) only get alerts for support issues, or user questions, or if an investor tweets about you - amongst other things.
Their database of journalists is also quite valuable already. I've entered "analytics" as the industry keyword and I get a couple of alerts every week for similar product launches covered by well known journalists.
In the future I'd love to see more history and aggregates on the dashboard (now only shows tweets from the last 7 days).
