Issue Summary
Given the death of ChatCatcher itselve .. what are the alternatives (besides Disqus) that can be used to achieve the same ?

#1
I believe backtype has similar features - at least I know they have an API for returning the number of tweets matching a given url and another one for getting "all conversations related to a url"
Of course one would have to constantly be pinging them- what was nice (for me) about Chat Catcher was that it would ping you when it discovered a tweet pointing to any page in your domain.
Maybe a Drupal plugin could be built off of one of these others?:
#2
The Reactions module has now been implemented as an API for displaying "social media reactions" (otherwise known as the social back-channel) for pages on your site. The module provides a default implementation (via the reactionsbacktype submodule) that depends on the BackType service mentioned in #1; BackType is currently in semi-private beta, but the Reactions module works pretty durn well already.
#3
I had marked this as fixed but i think it would be helpful to leave this one open so that people coming here can see this.
Perhaps the old maintainer, or someone with powers could redirect people to the Reactions module on the Project page?
