Agent Desktop Twitter Following complements RightNow Cloud Monitor, a social media monitoring tool, which allows companies to listen to and join conversations consumers are having on the social web. Whether on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, within a RightNow powered Community or RSS feed from the blogosphere, Cloud Monitor makes it possible for organizations to automatically capture posts related to their brand and determine next steps to address consumers’ needs.
