Not long ago, Hyoebot covered the release of [SocialMention](https://www.hypebot.com/socialmention-like-google-alerts-for-social-media/), a new real-time search tool.

The main difference that I found between the two social search tools – because it isn’t the results, though SocialMention appears to be more comprehensive – is that 48ers doesn’t take forever to load like SocialMention does and is a little more clean.

Beyond that though, it’s another free tool to add to the kit and play with. As many commented in the write-up about SocialMention, finding a site like this, for free, isn’t the easiest thing to come across. But, for those who aren’t prepared to dish out the money for **People Browser** or **Radian 6**, both of these neat little search tools should prove to be a welcomed additions to your data tracking efforts.
