Competitious is live!

Competitious is a new service that lets individuals and teams easily track their competition. Our initial launch focuses on giving you the ability to organize your competitive research in a secure manner so that you and your team can collaboratively stay up to date on your competition. At this point Competitious provides you with the following features:

  • Maintain a list of your competition with easy access to information on a particular competitor
  • Get at-a-glance web traffic information for each competitor, or compare the traffic of your competitors on a single graph
  • View a competitor’s latest blog posts, or blog news about them
  • Clip articles or information on the Web about your competition
  • Add comments about each competitor
  • Build a feature matrix to compare the competition’s feature offerings against your own
  • Create multiple projects, and invite other team members to collaborate with you on a project

We have a lot of improvement and feature releases on the way. Future releases will begin to help you filter and analyze more sources of information, in addition to organizing new intelligence about your competition. We’ll be discussing new feature releases and ideas here, and we love to hear your feedback. Stay tuned!

    Ever thought about breaking out the feature matrix component as a separate online service?

    Right now, the major competition would likely be spreadsheets from online office suites and tools collections, like those from Google and Zoho. But a simple tool for building a comparative matrix would fill a compelling niche of its own.

    If it had the ability to be integrated with other online tools, such dynamically generating image views and microformat feeds of the entire matrix or selected rows or columns, that’d add considerable utility as well.

    Hi Aron,

    Thank you for the comment. We are planning on adding a lot of flexibility to the competitive matrix, including possibly the ability to export it.

    Thanks!
