Don’t look now, but your competition is up to things. What sort of things? That’s hard to say. It could be innocuous stuff you don’t have to worry about, but maybe they’re quietly launching a new product or service that is so awesome it will ruin your business! Or, perhaps they’re suffering through a bout of bad press that you should really be taking advantage of. The biggest problem is not that your competition is up to something, but that you don’t know about it. Thankfully, there’s this thing called the Internet, and by utilizing it you can keep track of your what your competitors are up to. Check out our list of 10 ways to watch your competitors below, and share other methods or tools that you use in the comments.
Watch: Ad Spending
SpyFu is a great, free utility that lets you check out how much your competitors are spending on keyword ads and for what keywords. You can also see how their ad spend changes over time. Conversely, SpyFu can tell you who is advertising on specific keywords, helping you to define your closest competitors.
Watch: Twitter
People talk on Twitter, and they’re probably talking about you and your competitors. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to keep tabs on what they’re saying. Twitter has a great real-time search feature that allows you to keep watch on keywords and find new tweets almost as they happen. Searches are available as RSS feeds so you can always be kept in the loop about what people are saying about your competition.
Watch: Blogs
In addition to Twitter, it’s a good idea to watch what people are saying on blogs too. Blog search engine Technorati is one of the best ways to do it. Technorati does a great job of finding new posts, almost as fast they’re put up, and you can refine searches by the quality of the blog. Searches can be had in RSS format.
Another good option is the BlogPulse Conversation Tracker, which attempts to show, via threading, how conversations spread across the blogosphere. Alas, no RSS on that one.
Watch: Bookmarks
You should also keep tabs on bookmarks, because they’re a good way to find the news and blog coverage that is actually resonating with users. This is often the most important stuff — i.e., the stuff you need to be paying attention too. Thankfully, you can monitor tags on Delicious to see what items people are bookmarking about your competition. For example, here are the latest bookmarks about Apple. Each tag page has an RSS feed.
Watch: Forums
Using BoardTracker you can keep tabs on what people are saying about your competitors across 37,000 forums representing more than 63 million threads. BoardTrack has a built in Alerts function, but you can set up your own custom alerts using RSS and the site’s search function. Just be sure to decrease the time period you’re searching so you’re only getting recent posts about your competitors.
Watch: Job Postings
Is your competition hiring? Often times, job postings can offer clues about future expansion plans that your competitors may be working on. Using a classifieds aggregator like Oodle, which tracks a large number of job sites, you can keep tabs on any expansion that your competitors may be hiring for. For example, Oodle tells me that Digg is hiring, and I can follow any changes via RSS.
Watch: New Hires
Similarly, LinkedIn will let you keep an eye on who was actually hired by your competitors. Did they just land some top engineering talent? Maybe a ruthless new sales guy that you need to watch out for? Unfortunately, LinkedIn doesn’t offer RSS for their new hires section, so you’ll have to check manually.
Watch: Wikipedia
Another good page to spy on is your competitors’ Wikipedia entry. Using the “Revision history” tool, which has an RSS feed, you can be notified of any changes to their Wikipedia page. Did your competitor just attempt to scrub something from their history? Are they trying to alter their public image? Did they just push out a major new release or get bought out? Stay on top of it.
Watch: Keywords
Compete’s Search Analytics tools are invaluable when spying on your competitors. You can see how your site ranks compared to theirs on competing keywords, and you can see which keywords are sending them the most traffic. That can be very useful when planning how to spend your ad budget.
Watch: Their Web Site
Finally, you need to actually be watching your competition’s web site. Sometimes, though, changes are subtle. Beyond subscribing to their blog and press release feed, it will pay to set up some alerts on Versionista, which can detect changes on any site and then let you compare versions side by side. Did your competitor just change the wording of their about page? What did they change? Why? Is it something you should be aware of? Can you use it to gain a competitive edge? Versionista can help you keep on top of it.
What other tools do you use to keep track of your competitors? Let us know in the comments.

Look at the Pages that Link to Your Site and Their Relative “Link Value”
One of my favorite Yahoo APIs is the Site Explorer API. Site Explorer gives you an insight into one of the core pieces of metadata about your site: the number of inbound links on the web to each of your site’s pages. I’ve always wanted a more powerful interface for exploring that data — including the ability to see the top pages for a site, who’s linking to those pages, and how valuable (in link terms) each of the inbound links is.
The Page Inlink Analyzer provides a first stab at that interface. It gives you the top 35 or so pages for a site on the left, and for each inbound link you get a report of how many inbound links that page has (for the page itself and for its top-level domain) and how many times the page has been bookmarked in Delicous.
Site Explorer doesn’t provide grid-style information in this way. Its API just gives you a single page and its inlink data. The Page Inlink Analyzer takes the inlink data and does the research for you on each of the inlinks you’re looking at to give you insights about their relative value. Because each data point is a separate Site Explorer lookup, I’ve throttled the lookup process to be as civilized as possible with respect to the API’s backend. Be patient — the data does load eventually. Look down the left for information about pages on the current site; look on the right for inlinks to the current site and information about the inlinks.
This is a quick hack at this point and it has some bugs, but it’s a unique way of getting at the hidden insights that Site Explorer can express about your site and it’s place in the information web.

When Alberto Herrera started his own tech company in Tijuana two years ago, he was confident he had the knowledge to take on the risk.
His team had worked at Panasonic's office in the Mexican border city and had the technical expertise to craft a new kind of wireless sensor network -- one that can be used for hotel room key cards and turn on the heating system once a customer has entered his or her room.
But Herrera didn't have contacts with venture capitalists and didn't know how to spiff up a business plan.
That changed last year, once his company, Medida, started working with the Mexico-Silicon Valley Technology Business Accelerator (TechBA for short) in San Jose, funded by an annual $6 million grant from the Mexican government.
TechBA assigned a special adviser to Medida, to mentor it in Silicon Valley's arcane ways.
The help is part of an effort by the Mexican government to jump-start its technology economy -- in part through better connections to leading tech centers like Silicon Valley and their entrepreneurial cultures and practices.
Mexico's domestic information technology and software market totals more than $3 billion a year and has 2,095 companies, according to its economics ministry.
Mexico exports about $400 million in technology services each year to the United States, about half in business process outsourcing, half in software outsourcing. But Mexico wants to do more than supply its northern neighbor with a cheap source of labor, says Jorge Zavala, chief executive of TechBA. ``The question is, how do we switch from low value-added services and move into information technology?''
The goal of TechBA, he said, is to help create Mexican companies that own their own technology, and to export $5 billion in technology and other services by 2012.
In Herrara's case, TechBA appointed a mentor -- Adolpho Nemirosky, an Argentine entrepreneur who has worked in the valley's semiconductor and telecom industries for 13 years. He had co-founded a venture-backed company, Xtreme Logic, and was eager to help others. He is paid a stipend by TechBA.
His help has already gone a long way. Nemirosky taught Herrera how to make an elevator pitch -- that is, a two- to five-minute synopsis of his company, tailored for impatient investors. He advised him to focus on specific areas, such as sensor systems for hotels and for entertainment software. And he took Herrera to meet with some professors at the University of California-Berkeley, where Herrera was able to secure a technology adviser.
To top it off, Nemirosky groomed Herrera to present to venture capitalists Tuesday evening at an event hosted by TechBA and an angel group called Silicom Ventures. Besides the investors, a live audience of more than 200 people looked on. And Herrara performed well enough that three of four venture capitalists invited him to talk with them further. ``I'm very pleased with him,'' Nemirosky said of his protege.
Currently, 40 companies participate in the TechBA program, and the group recently announced its first tangible success: Mexican company JackBe. The company, which has created Web sites for Sears and Citigroup's Mexico operations, raised $6.5 million in venture capital funding in November -- the first Mexican tech company to raise venture capital from the United States, according to TechBA's Zavala.
There are other signs of late that the U.S. venture capital market is waking to not only to Mexico, the world's ninth largest economy, but also to the fast-growing Hispanic market in this country.
Sausalito venture firm Sienna Ventures is now raising $100 million for its newest fund to focus on the Hispanic market.
Herrera's company, Medida, meanwhile, is expanding in the United States. It has $1 million in revenue after a year's work, 10 employees and an office in San Jose, where employees can drop in from Tijuana. Silicon Valley is a good place to develop contacts for customers, said Herrera.
``We've gained visibility that would otherwise be very hard to get,'' he said.
One of his customers is XaviX, which makes interactive sports games and also has offices in San Jose. Medida provides XaviX wireless sensors for its newest fly-fishing game -- where the sensor detects when game players flick their wrists and feeds information back to the game.
Mexico is just the latest country trying to develop a network here in Silicon Valley.
Gadi Behar, managing director of Israeli-focused Silicom Ventures, has reached out to groups from Canada, Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands and Hawaii, offering help such as crash courses on Silicon Valley's business culture. ``They all want access to Silicon Valley,'' agreed Michelle Messina, a public relations professional who has also helped companies in these groups.

OSS_ilation writes "Analysts and users agree -- if the layoff rumors at Novell prove true sometime soon, SuSE Linux has nothing to fear. Over at SearchOpenSource.com the word is that the popular SuSE Linux operating system has both the community support and technical chops to weather any personnel-related storms that may be lingering on the horizon. However, the point is also made that should Novell go south, there are those who believe SuSE could prove to be an appealing acquisition target."

Good reading if you believe that Java is the only scenario in which patterns are usable.
An interesting view of the way Rails is getting momentum.

Finding Signals in the Noise
Digg, Memeorandum, Findory, Blogniscient, and other startups promise to manage news overload on the Web.
Few would dispute that we live in an age of information overload. In the last few years alone, blogs have increased the torrent of information each day to unmanageable levels.
This would explain, then, why a corresponding torrent of startups has surfaced recently to help us filter, manage, and control this flood of information. Some rely on insightful algorithms that understand popularity to filter the news, while others rely on the preferences of readers.
There aren't yet enough quality pages to satisfy advertisers' hunger for a blog presence
