Twitter's value is going to stem from using that huge amount of data (yes, including where you had lunch) to power analysis for things like sentiment. I really think the "sponsored tweet" crap rdilutes their true value because it deputes the natural conversations that are critical for the validity of that analysis.
- revorad 15y agoSentiment analysis using Twitter data mining is often mentioned as a business opportunity. Can you give any examples of where this has worked?
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoI've had conversations of some sort with each of these. They will give you a starting point at least; I'm sure there are many, many more. http://www.radian6.com/ http://www.radian6.com/ http://www.allegiance.com/ http://www.allegiance.com/ http://www.attensity.com/ http://www.attensity.com/
- bcrescimanno 15y agoI feel like an important part of my comment still stands: I don't think Twitter itself is particularly well positioned to lead a market like this. It's nearly as easy for a 3rd party to scrape from Twitter and do the same type of analysis you're talking about so I'm not seeing real competitive advantage there.
