Keywords are not enough anymore.

The problem with keyword-based filtering alone is, the world doesn't obey your rules sometimes.
What if someone posts a link to an article about your company, but doesn't mention your company name?
What if you just want content in specific language or from a specific country to cut down on unwanted posts?
What if you want to analyse social conversations from a city, about a topic like fashion?
What if you want to analyse the Tweets from your million followers to build up a picture of their interests?
Only DataSift goes beyond 'keyword-first' filtering to help you mine the social web, providing powerful capabilities that can
look inside urls and webpages, locations, and topics.

You want to analyse the data, not just receive it.

Sure, you want social data, but you also want to be able to derive insights from it.

To help you, we analyse every single item of data we receive, adding additional augmentations that you can use to understand trends and patterns in social data. These range from language detection and sentiment analysis to advanced capabilities like Natural Language Processing to extract the topics being mentioned.

What’s better, you can use these as filters too! So, you can filter for social conversations from high-influencers that are negative towards a brand. View ‘Influencial People Negative Towards a Brand’ stream »
