Ever notice when someone criticizes a company on HN, and suddenly the CEO shows up and engages after 6 months of inactivity? Likely they are using a tool like this along with Google Alerts, etc, to monitor sites for mentions of the company and maybe flag negative sentiment. Also, same thing but for politics.

Yes, very interesting indeed! Either there is a big conspiracy to uncover or said CEO reads HN and if something is number 1 and is related to his product he pays close attention. We will maybe never find out the truth...

From your defensive tone it sounds like you think I was talking about you, but I really wasn't. It's a phenomenon I've observed here and on Reddit and elsewhere for many years. And it seems like a perfect fit for a tool such as yours, is it not?

Very sorry! As I was the only "CEO" in here which product got criticized I thought it must have been me ;-)
Yes would actually be perfect for it, but never had the time to set something like that up. Maybe someday in the future. For now, I only have a simple Google Alert set and regularly check HN and Google Analytics which is a good indicator when it got mentioned somewhere.
