Does anyone know of a good alternative to F5bot? 🤖 Basically a tool that scrapes social media for specific keywords and sends them to you 📩 Being limited to Reddit and HN is annoying Would love one that does FB and Twitter

This is free, and if you set up alerts with their advanced operators, very useful - https://www.talkwalker.com/alerts

I am about to add "alert on keyword" feature to https://obzrv.it It's not there yet, but... stay tuned!

@robert_poplawski Wow that seems like something very useful. Feel free to DM me on twitter once you have the full launch or if you launch on PH

@richard_gao2 Just did a quick research, and with FB that's quite complex. FB is very protective when it comes to their content, not only you need to sign in first, but to monitor specific group, you need to request access to the group, then wait for approval and sometimes answer couple of questions. While that's certainly doable, it's hard to scale this up. I'll think how this could be achieved. Twitter is much easier, as it's more open platform, I actually documented how to monitor Twitter profiles: https://obzrv.it/blog/elon-musk-...

@robert_poplawski Interesting. Though I'm more interested in monitoring the entire site for mentions of specific keywords rather than specific people I'd imagine it's gonna get harder with twitter with the twitter API being paid now
