We use DataSift to provide our customers with a list of people most influential in promoting their content via Twitter. The Historics preview feature is exciting because it allows us to test these queries for influencers in minutes before we kick off costly analysis spanning months of data.

Mine Hidden Insights

DataSift doesn’t just deliver raw data. We analyze each Tweet, bitly click, and public Facebook conversation to derive insights about language, demographics, sentiment, and entities and topics mentioned. This provides you with an unprecedented way to mine insights from social data.

Integrate Historic Insights Into Your Business

DataSift Historics provides both business user and developer interfaces to easily integrate historical insights across your business. DataSift's visual Query Builder enables non-technical users to easily create rich filters on the fly. You can use the same filter for both your real-time and historical queries. Query Builder is made available under an open source license, so you can modify it to fit your needs, and even embed it into your own applications.
