The brand new @Mentionator Service!
Just a few days ago @Minnowbooster anncounced a new service called the @Mentionator, which enables you to receive an overview on all the Posts you get mentioned in on Steemit. The free version will only show you the last 3 mentions but the Premium one shows you everything out of the last 14 days and you currently get if from as cheap as 1 SBD per month.
As I think that 3 mentions isn´t really that much I enrolled for the Premium Service right away as one of their first Customers. That being said I already want to let you know that I didn´t regret it a single second.
But now let´s have a look on the Tool itself, which is accessible for you via the Website of @Minnowbooster (www.minnowbooster.net). First of all you´ll have to login by using your Steemit Username and Private Posting key and as soon as that is done you may access your mentions via the Menu Tab "My Account".
You´ll get redirected to a clean list showing you the User who mentioned you, the Post or Comment it happened in and the exact time it took place. Just about the right amount of information which enables you to get a quick overview and directly jump to the respective mentions via the Posts links. But see for yourself :)
My Thoughts & Conclusion on @Mentionator
To put it in a nutshell, the @Mentionator is an awesome Tool for everyone who wants to know whether and where he or she got mentioned on Steemit. While I was using it within the last days I definitely found some mentions, which I would have missed otherwise for sure.
Anyways besides it´s great overall function there´s obviously still some room for possible Improvements, which is inevitable for any new Tool getting on the market. In my opinion it would e.g. be nice to be able to blacklist mentions from certain accounts within your overview, so that you could get rid of all the bot entries. But who knows, most probably it´s already on their ToDo list and will enrich the premium service soon.
To sum it all up, the Service @Mentionator provides is really awesome and the Premium version, which is available from as low as 1 SBD per month, is worth every single Penny!
