Last week, Intelegia published its 300th post. From the first post, “Users of Wikipedia - Now Read This!!!” to “Competitive Intelligence Research With Google Squared? “, the objective of Tools For Thought was to provide readers with an outlet to learn about tools and practices for competitive intelligence research, social media marketing and economic development initiatives.
We are honored that we have such loyal readers from around the world. In January 2010 to February 2010, readers came from over 75 countries, specifically, from approximately 800 cities as illustrated in Figure 1.

From search tools to the use of Web 2.0 applications for economic development purposes, Intelegia looks forward to every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in providing its readers with the relevant resources to be efficient users on the web as a research or communication tool.
Some of the popular posts so far in 2010 include:
- Searching Google, Bing and Yahoo At The Same Time
- Google News Timeline: Helping To Connect The Dots
- Monitoring Social Networks For Economic Development
We welcome your feedback on each post that is placed online. Feedback will be used as discussion points in future posts. If you feel that we are not dealing with an important aspect of competitive intelligence research or economic development, please let us know.
Once again, thank you for dropping by Tools For Thought and your continued support.
Best Regards,
Just wanted to write you a quick message saying thanks for the postings you’ve been putting up on Intelegia that offer new ways of collecting secondary intelligence. I’m a CI professional that conducts secondary research daily and the items you’ve been posting are mostly things I’ve never heard of or seen. I’ve always wondered where/how you find these tools before I get my hands on them. Either way, please continue to post because I know at least a dozen individuals that read and find use in your blog.
thank you for all the useful posts you’ve shared with us. One in particular, “google news timeline: helping to connect the dots”, help me a lot on a search I was doing…it’s as if you read my mind! Keep up the good work!
