Web 2.0 Experiences

[Nieves Gonzalez]

Thanks Lisa, for information about your statistics on Facebook, Twitter,
and other.
Which support do you use to register the numbers of retwits, @mention, etc?.
Do you know if somebody use some type of system for recording data?
I would like to contact librarians who are collecting data about the use of
library social web tools by theirs users.
Thanks a lot!
