This morning I was introduced to a new service currently in beta: HyperAlerts. HyperAlerts is the missing link for those who moderate a Facebook page. It checks your page on a user-specified interval and notifies you when there are new comments or activity on your page. For example, I can have it check all my pages at 2 pm every day and send me an e-mail summary of all new activity for each page. This tool is an invaluable time-saver for someone like me, who has to check all my pages on a daily basis and manually look for new activity to respond to. The best part is that you can just tell it which pages you want to monitor — you don’t need to log-in through Facebook Connect or give the service your Facebook account information. You could even use it to monitor pages you like but are not a moderator for!
