Big news from FiltrBox tonight, they just opened to the pubic.

What is FiltrBox? Think of it as a professional media monitoring service. Set up ‘filtrs’ on your company, name, competition, and FiltrBox runs a persistent search on that topic, stores past mentions and gives you sorting functionality across all your filtrs. You can get a daily email with what has been written about your company in blogs, forums, twitter, friendfeed, etc and share this with your coworkers or team through a slick web interface.

It is like Google Alerts, but done with better spam control, history, sharing and collaboration.

NetworkWorld wrote about the new launch, noting the use of Flex:

Built using Flex, the Filtrbox UI uses drag and drop, asynchronous and background updates, sophisticated graphing, user input validation, and dynamic screen layout to provide a smooth, low-drag user experience. This UI demonstrates that no matter how good your AJAX UI might be Flex will run rings around it

I have been getting the morning email tracking all my filtrs for almost a year now. The new UI is very intuitive and powerful, giving the user tons of control. Here are my filtrs:

So what are you waiting for already? Sign up and set up some filtrs.
