I’m a little late to the game, but is this still in the works? I would love to see this as a web app. I could see it being very useful to companies who actively participate in social media. Zappos, Digg, etc.

I had an idea similar to this a while back and have some wireframes and potential feature ideas if you’d like them. I’d love to help out in any way I can

Is it going to be a hosted, SaaS-type app or a download & manage yourself deal? Personally I prefer to run everything in house and extend as needed.

Naming is like designing. Microsoft names its products with long, programming style labels that have little ambiguity, but sometimes become hard to remember if you read too many of them.

If you want to let people know what the program does by the name you might fall into the same trap. I like the naming of 37Signals projects, Basecamp, Highrise, Campfire, I don’t know what they they do exactly, but they’re very memorable.

Some name ideas that come to mind -

Gossip
Little Brother
Attention Analytics
Scout
Recon, Web Recon
Watcher, Observer
Social Scout
Web Pop, Social Pop

@Johann: No, I’m planning for it to be more of an application that you can maintain about your items, rather than a search engine type application.

Is it going to be similar to: http://urlfan.com ?

“The Burning Ear” is great!

Call it the “burning ear” app, as in the old saying/superstition that if your ears are burning, someone is talking about you.

Oh yes, it seems it ill be a very useful application.
I am not an expert with Branding.
But i was thinking about combination of words like Grab and Opinion and so i’ve coined “Grabinion”
