We’ve been brewing up something pretty exciting over here at Livefyre HQ. After months of development and tweaking, we’re ready to announce our biggest, baddest new set of features: SocialSync.
What is SocialSync?
SocialSync is a collection of features that enable publishers to share, follow and curate content in real-time as it spills out across the web.
So what’s the big deal about SocialSync?
Simply put, SocialSync is the most effective way to position your content to succeed on the social web. What exactly do we mean by succeed? More eyeballs, more interaction and more traffic.
But, you probably came here to get a bit more granular, so here we go:
People talk about your content all over the place — tweets are sent, Facebook posts are exchanged, LinkedIn articles are shared — but none of that robust interaction ever makes it back to your site.
With SocialSync, you can take control of your content by capturing these missed opportunities and pulling them into your comment stream, threaded organized and easy to read.
It’s important to mention, however, that Livefyre doesn’t just pull in a bunch of original tweets and RTs with the same link to it. We use super brainy algorithms to capture actual conversations — for example, when a reply thread starts about a link to your content.
To make things even more exciting, SocialSync also enables sharing directly with friends from the comment box. By typing the ‘@’ symbol, users can tag friends from Facebook and Twitter and invite them to join the conversation.
Cool. So what else?
Well, now that your pages are filled with social interactions from across the web, Livefyre is able to activate search engines to crawl through your site. Finally, original content is rewarded with valuable SEO credit for sparking conversations that spread throughout the Internet. In our book, that’s a huge win.
That’s it for now. If you have any questions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to contact our team at support@livefyre.com as we’d be more than happy to chat.
