Below is a list of top online marketing tools compiled by Francesco D’Orazio from Face, Marcin Grodzicki from Adtaily.com and Dragos Ilinca from UberVu. Francesco and Marcin presented last weeks MiniBar Workshop, 101 of Online Marketing with Social Media (kindly supported by DCKTN), and, due to popular demand have kindly put together a comprehensive  list of tools that measure sentiment, brand reputation, return on investment, buzz monitoring, and advertisment trends and so forth.

We hope that you find it useful!
