After evaluating lots of social media tools that try to visualize your online presence, your posts, people in your network, and messages in your network, here are some tools that caught my eye.

The following tools stand out based on several criteria: ability to visualize data, ease of use, and cost. Check these out.

Simply Measured
This is one of my favorite analytics visualization platforms for social media. This tool is meant as an analytics platform for businesses, not consumers. Nevertheless, they combine data visualization for Facebook, Google Analytics, and Twitter.
