I recently attended a CRMUG Ask the Experts webinar about leveraging Social Insights in Dynamics CRM 2013. It was the second session in a series of seven, which will all be focusing on the new "Social Insights" feature that is new for Dynamics CRM 2013.
Now, to be honest, I hadn't really heard anything about this new feature. But, I have to say after viewing this webinar, I was really excited about digging in and learning more about all the possibilities this could bring to a company.
With the rise of social media, Social Insights seems to be on the right-track with using all of the information available on various social media sites and making it work beneficially as an asset for your company. Here are some of the main features of Social Insights:

- Quickly qualify and route leads with accurate company information found on various websites and news articles found online
- Get alerts about sales opportunities by tracking your prospects with a watch list, which can send you daily email alerts about important business events
- Prepare for customer calls by scanning company insights and social buzz, such as online blogs and company Facebook and pages
