Customizing & using Overheard
If you've got Admin status for your company on Get Satisfaction you can customize your Overheard feature. Click on the "Admin" link in the top bar and scroll to the bottom of the "Company Details" page where you'll see this:
Add the keywords you want to track and exclude the ones you don't want. For instance, if you're Apple you can track "ipod, macbook, iphone" etc. and exclude "tree, pie, tart" etc. [Update: Be sure to test your settings first to make sure you're happy with the results. This allows you to fine tune your stream before turning it on.]
Once you've got your Overheard feature set up the way you want it, go check out what's being said about your company and/or products and services on the Overheard page. You'll find the tab for that on your Get Satisfaction company home page. Click the "Reply through Get Satisfaction" button to turn any Tweet into a topic. This will also send a Tweet back to the original poster so they can come see your response on Get Satisfaction.
All in all, pretty simple. Now have fun!

Inappropriate?Hi Amy!
Just signed up and entered some keywords in the overheard search fields.
Great, but a lot of the 'overheards' were not relevant to our company. I went back and removed the words that weren't relevant and only kept one keyword that would always be related to our company.
Unfortunately when I click on the overheard section it still has all the original unrelated posts showing... it didn't delete them.
Is there any way to 'clear' the overheards out and start over?
Thanks for your help! -
Inappropriate?Heather: They can't be deleted, but they'll be pushed back into the past as new tweets show up. Eventually, you'll probably have thousands of tweets being shown in this space, across many pages. I imagine that they won't all necessarily be about your company.
I’m hoping this helps

Inappropriate?Hi Eric,
Thanks for letting me know.
Maybe you could add a note for new users setting up overheards to remind them to test before going live? This might help people avoid this in the future.
Cheers!
I’m pleased.

Good point, Heather. I'll add that to this topic. :)
