Show HN: Get an alert when a journalist tweets your keywords

[illdave]

Hi HN, I've been building a product called Toucan.io - it aims to get your business more press coverage. You set which keywords you want to monitor and then whenever a journalist tweets any of those keywords you'll get an email alert so that you can quickly jump into the conversation. Hopefully, you'll be able to find the right person to pitch to at the exact right time.

I'd love to know what you think of the product, of the landing page and the concept (also, you don't need a credit card for the trial, if you want to try it out).

Just signed up. I like the product, although I don't know if I'd pay for it, or if I'd pay a lot. In my case (I'm at pre-launch), press is something I'm looking for, but I'm not entirely sure how well can an app like this be of help. So, what I'm saying is: let me try it and give you better feedback .

Cheers!

Who are the journalists? Have you just curated a list of big publication journalists? I would love to know how you identify a mention as coming from a journalist.

So, I'm back. I recommended it to a few colleagues, they're gonna try it as well. Let me take back a few things I said: I'd pay for this, but not that much. But, agencies and PR firms (obvious) could actually get a lot of value out of something like this.

Best of luck
