Nonprofits use monitoring tools as part of their "listening Strategy" and they also come in handy for the "discovery" part of the content curation process. Many nonprofits tend to be using Google Alerts because it is free.
After seeing Google Reader Walk the plank (http://www.bethkanter.org/rip-google-reader/), even though it is still a rumor that Google Alerts will also be killed off, I did not want to get caught in it. I switched over to Mention because it is free, easy to use, and great for nonprofits. Here's a discussion I started on my FB Brand page where other alternatives were also mentioned in the thread. However, I like the discipline and rigor of this analysis.
