Oddpodz review:
I recently downloaded a FREE software widget from Demandbase, which is called Demandbasestream. It lets me see the businesses visiting my web site, their interests, and whom to contact for sales and marketing follow up. It’s designed for businesses selling to businesses with annual sales greater than $5 million. So if you are not going after that market, it’s not for you. But if you are, it’s very cool. It works like a news ticker, delivering web traffic across your desktop. The service automatically filters out ISPs and can even be set up by sales territory. It even shows me how they found me and if they used a key word. I love this!
