Anyone using Followerwonk? Email said SEOMOZ just aquired it.

Hi,
So looks like SEMOZ just aquired followerwonk.com and that I have free access to this system.
I had a quick look at it and it seems like it's an analytics program for twitter.
Anyone used it? And can you use it to help grow your list?
Cheers

Yes I use it quite a lot, its a fantastic tool.
There are many ways you can use it to grow followers, but a couple of the more straightforward ones are
Analyse your followers against your competitors, you can see which followers you have in common and more importantly people who follow them and not you
You can search users bios based on interests, so for example if you were a clothes retailer you could search for location & fashion to find potential local followers
There is a whole host of other features that allow you to find how influential your followers are, how many followers they have etc.
So all round its a real useful tool and it is extremely powerful
Rand does dig a big deeper into the features in his acquisition announcement, so that is worth a read if you haven't done so already

Two Domains, which one should be used on Social Media platforms?
I have a client who changed from a Branded Domain (301 redirected this domain) to a Partial Match Domain, using the city in the domain for rich keyword. I take care of their Social Media platforms (i.e., Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc.). These social networks used the Branded Domain (with the company name in the domain) for years, now the new web designer is asking that we change Username and Domain to the new Partial Match Domain, which is very "generic" not mentioning the company name. I am reluctant to change for branding mention purposes. Does anyone have any advice?

A 2014 perspective on using Awards/Badges for backlinks?
Hi all, Just wanted to get a modern-day perspective on this tactic as a method of obtaining back links. We've recently (legitimately) polled our customer base both on social media and through our email database (40,000+ people) to rank a bunch of different locations / attractions and put together Top 10 lists based on the results. I was intending to put together "awards" badges and provide them to the operators who won along with a back link from the badge to the main article page with the finalists. I thought I'd ask here though to see what public opinion is on this as a link building tactic in 2014 as all the resources I could find were a couple of years old. Bear in mind we aren't paying them anything at all, but it is still an obvious attempt to both give them their recognition as well as add to our link profile. Do you think in this day and age that this kind of action would invoke any Google penalties? And if not, is there any indication why they wouldn't pass as much juice as regular text links? Thanks for any and all feedback.

Using Multiple Locations for Google Business/Maps
Hey MOZers, I currently work for a company with several other offices in other countries. Is it possible to set-up Google 'Business' and Google 'Maps' pages so when a user in a given country queries 'our business' on either Google 'Search' or Google 'Maps' they will receive the relevant business information for that country. For example, if an internet user in Canada enters a query for 'our business' in Canada (and we have an office in Canada) is there anyway to set up our Google Business page and Google Maps page so that user receives the contact information for the Canada office, rather than the US office? Conversely, if someone in the United States enters a search query for 'our business' is there a way to set it up so that the user receives our address in the states?
