Despite the noise and nonsensical hash tags, Twitter actually does contain some useful information. You just need the tools to find it. When Repustate first opened its doors, we saw a lot of content coming from established media sources. The overwhelming majority of content being pushed through our API by our developer partners came from sites like the New York Times and TechCrunch.
A new online surveillance bill was proposed by the Canadian government on Tuesday – and its critics are saying it could be a violation of Canadians’ online privacy. Proposed as a bill to help with government security and to make it easier to catch online predators such as child pornographers – if passed , authorities and the police could gain access to an Internet subscriber’s information.
With the launch of our Social API a little over a month ago, Repustate now allows its customers to create rules to monitor social media, all without ever leaving the confines of your favourite programming environment.

Some may question the price, but this deal is a win-win for all involved Much has been made of the recent acquisition of Radian6, a New Brunswick based social media monitoring company by Salesforce, the CRM-in-the-sky giant. Some have derided the acquisition as being a foolish one on behalf of Salesforce.
Facebook filed papers for an initial public offering on Wednesday that is expected to be the biggest offering to come from a Silicon Valley company and one of the biggest in the history of American business. The eight-year-old social media company filed the papers with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with a preliminary goal to raise $5 billion, with a company valuation of $75 to 100 billion.
Sentiment analysis by itself doesn’t suffice An interesting article by Seth Grimes caught our eye this week. Seth is one of the few voices of reason in the world of text analytics that I feel “gets it”. His views on sentiment’s strengths and weaknesses, advantages and shortcomings align quite perfectly with Repustate’s general philosophy.
If you’re not measuring the financial impact of your social media initiatives, then why are you doing them in the first place? One of the people I respect the most in the biz, Chris Berry from Syncapse once remarked to me that the state of social media today is where the web was in the mid-90s; everybody wants to be in on it, but they’re not quite sure what “it” is.
