Get Satisfaction Launches Overheard, Customer Service via Twitter

WordPress on Overheard

Get Satisfaction has just launched Overheard, their new service that allows companies to see what people are saying about them on Twitter and in turn use that to improve customer service. See Adam Ostrow’s post on Mashable for more on the launch of Overheard. Here’s the Overheard page for Laughing Squid.

With Overheard, companies can support customer conversations across the Web. Overheard lists out recent Twitter posts (”tweets”) related to a company and allows any user – employee or customer – to convert a selected tweet into a rich, searchable Get Satisfaction topic. When someone replies to a tweet via Overheard, Get Satisfaction sends a public reply to that person to let them know a discussion was started in response to their issue.

Get Satisfaction also just launched a new Help Center feature to assist companies in building online customer communities.

Please read our Comment Guidelines before leaving a comment:

Moderation: Because of comment spam issues, all comments are manually approved, so if your comment is approved it may take a while for your comment to appear on this blog post.

Name & Website Required: Due to rampant abuse, we are no longer posting anonymous comments. Please list your real name and provide a link to your website. If you don't have a website, then use a link to your account on Twitter, Flickr or some other form of web presence. With very few exceptions, comments that do not refernce include an actual name or url will not be approved.

Also when we ask for your name we mean your actual name, not Discount Car Products or some other attempt at spam or lame SEO.

Be Civil: Irrelevant, obnoxious or abusive comments will not be approved. Let's keep things civil and on topic. Basically what we are saying, if your comment does not add to the conversation, it will not be approved.

Spam: Spam comments in any form will not be approved. We also do not approve comments that left for the sole purpose of posting a link.

Corrections: If you want to point out a typo or correction, please email us instead. Typo or correction comments will not be approved since they are pretty much useless once they are corrected and then only tend to confuse things.

Gravatars: If you would like a Gravatar to show up with your comment? Just sign-up for an account and any comment with your email address will display your Gravatar.
