Find who is discussing/tweeting your blog on Twitter and other social media

Sometimes it would be useful to find out who is haring your blogs on Twitter and other Social media like friendfeed. See an example here.

The best and easy way to do it, is by using the Disqus comments enabled on your blogger / wordpress blogs.

This what disqus says about this feature:

We were introducing Social Media Reactions, a new feature on Disqus that aims to connect the discussion on your site with the scattered conversations occurring everywhere else on the web. Today, people have many tools available to discover, read, and discuss great content. Blog posts and articles can be mentioned on Twitter, commented about on Digg, and even shared across FriendFeed. Now, these social media reactions can be connected back to your site keeping the conversation together. When your posts are being discussed on Twitter and Digg, these tweets and comments will appear within your Disqus powered comment thread. Here are two examples from inquisitr.com and avc.com (under the main comment thread).

Enable the Social meda features in Settings->General page for that blog in Disqus. If anyone shares the link ( probably shortened url) , Disqus automatically collects the the twitter and media  reactions and displays under your blog post!

Chennai: Computer peripherals price list

Whenever I need to buy computer accessories, like printer, RAM, Memory Stick(Thumb drive), Graphic card, LCD monitor, Hard drive, I first check the price list at : Deltapage

They have price list for Laptops as well.

This gives the average market rate. They update it more than twice a month. It would be easy for us to bargain in other shops if we know the correct price!

Also, I have assembled two PCs in that shop itself. They are one of the reliable shops at Ritchie street.
