Welcome to a tour of Cisco's Social Media Listening Center!

Welcome to the Social Media Listening Center (SMLC). We've developed this exhibit to show our commitment to the voice of the customer. By being present in the social web the minute we find a conversation about Cisco, or someone in need of customer support, our social media listening center allows Cisco to drive to action.

The Purpose of our Listening Center

There are several reasons for creating the listening center. They are:

  • To promote Cisco's commitment to social media and gain valuable insights from the perspective of the customer
  • To demonstrate that we are leveraging Cisco's industry leadership and innovation to drive a standard of social media listening and engagement across our organization
  • To show how Cisco is using our own technology to power the display
  • The Cisco Technology

Global Conversations (Screen#2)

This screen displayswhereCisco Twitter conversations are happening, globally. This includes all mentions of Cisco products, brands, properties and trademarks.

This is a Twitter-based heat map. The legend in the lower left corner of the screen identifies the approximate volume of conversations (or mentions) associated with each color. The top most color (gray) has no data. The bottom most color (deep red) has the most data.

Concentric circles denote new tweets in that location. Random posts are highlighted continuously. The bottom ticker bar streams the most current posts. It streams posts from around the globe by default. You can also filter by a particular region.

To filter by a region:

  1. click on a region (e.g. Australia), a pop-up menu appears
  2. click on "Filter by Australia"

Australia specific posts now appear in the ticker bar

To remove region filter:

  1. click on currently filtered region (e.g. Australia), a pop-up menu appears
  2. click on "Remove Filter"

The ticker bar stream can also be paused at any point. Simply click on the pause icon. click again to resume the stream.

Green pins on the maps denote the most recent tweets at that location. The number of pins ranges from one to three. One pin has the fewest tweets. Three pins has the most tweets.

The sun represents the category of the conversations (e.g. Cisco Collaboration). The planets surrounding the sun represent the various groups of Cisco products related to the category.

Click on a planet to view mentions about a specific Cisco product family. A stream of posts will appear in a ticker bar at the bottom of the screen. You may pause the stream by clicking on the pause icon in the upper left corner of the ticker bar. Click the pause button again to let it play. To remove the ticker bar, click on the X icon in the upper right corner of the ticker bar.

Every so often, you may seen concentric circles appear on some of the product families (planets). These denote the most recent posts involving that product family with regard to the associciated category (sun).
