Featured Technology: Crowd-Sourced Intelligence from Social Media
With over 600 million tweets posted every day, Twitter is a hugely popular social media instrument. Tweets include first-hand reports of world events and indicators of the rise and fall of public opinion, and they reflect the impact of key thought leaders. However, identifying useful new information from that volume of activity can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

STR Approach
 To help cut through this noise, we have developed a technology platform for automatic discovery, summarization, and analysis of information posted to Twitter. Our platform automatically identifies key analytic artifacts hidden in streaming Twitter data, including the structure of social media communities, the topics they discuss, and viral trends (“memes”) at multiple scales. The platform also provides tools enabling users to subscribe to, search, browse, and analyze artifacts of interest, and to track their evolution over time. 

The result? A unique, fine-grained summary view of the global Twitter conversation, with multiple applications to business and government intelligence analysis.
