Web and news - Alternative Social Media Search
When a subject’s report profile includes web/news articles in the social media report, Ferretly runs web searches for that subject. Ferretly searches indexed sites, analyzes each result, and determines relevance to the subject.
In addition to news articles, Ferretly searches many human-curated sites, including niche social media, blogs, boards, forums, review sites, video sharing, and more. The list below is a sample of sites included in the alternative social media search.
