"In a marriage of business convenience, InboxQ, a startup that mines Twitter for potential sales leads, is exchanging \"I dos\" with social media management company Seesmic. \nThe pair have come together to add lead generation capabilities to Seesmic Desktop, a column-structured Twitter application \u2014 not dissimilar from TweetDeck \u2014 that has been rebranding itself as a social media management tool for business users.\nThe InboxQ user can already use the startup's browser plugins to view a real-time stream of qualified leads in the form of tweets. The user structures campaigns around keywords and phrases and InboxQ will find and deliver topic, business or interest related questions to the Twitter-minded business user who can then engage with potential customers.\nThese same functionalities have been weaved into the Seesmic Desktop experience, which means the user can now view and respond to qualified tweet leads in columns alongside his regular tweet stream or other social media channels. It's essentially a lead generation system tailored toward the social media savvy business user.\n\u201CWorking with an industry leader like Seesmic to make our tool available to all their customers aligns with our strategy of integrating our product anywhere businesses are using Twitter,\u201D InboxQ co-founder and CEO Joe Fahrner explains.\nThe mutually beneficial arrangement may also help Seesmic attract more of the enterprise users (the company also recently landed an investment from Salesforce) it's going after, as well as further drive home the message that it's not just another Twitter client. \n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
