  &lt;p&gt;Certainly from a base of very few online brand monitoring services only a year or two ago, quite a few more have appeared recently. However, there still aren't that many that I'm aware of, or that are considered 'market leading'.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Following are the ones that I've come across - do suggest others (even if you are the provider of the service yourself)!&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;em&gt;(NB I'm really only listing here actual technology solutions as opposed to services provided by PR agencies etc.)&lt;/em&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;With the rise of user-generated content ('UGC') and blogging, there is a growing need to be able to monitor, engage with,&#160;and respond to what is being said about you, your brand, product or service online.&lt;/strong&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;But what tools, products or services are out there to help you track, analyse and report on all this activity?&lt;/p&gt;
