[Air-L] Research inquiry

Sat Sep 20 06:12:07 PDT 2014

Dear Athanasios,

I came across the following tools for hashtags tracking:
Hashtracking <http://www.hashtracking.com> , Divud
<http://divud.tumblr.com/> (twitter) and keyhole <http://keyhole.co/>
(facebook & twitter).

I can't tell which is best, because it depends on what you are looking for
exactly. What is "best" for you can be the "unsatisfactory" for me. There
are many criteria upon which you can evaluate the tool. I think Stu has
said it all !
