Creating a Stream in DataSift
1. Select the Create Stream button on any page on DataSift

2. Fill in the title, description, and tags for your Stream
The Title and Description will be shown next to your Stream
The Tags will be used for search and categorisation of your Stream
Enabling the Private checkbox will make your Stream visible only to you

3. Create your first stream definition
This is the Stream Editor
There is a default stream definition already inserted for you
Why not try changing “hello world” to a different value?

4. Hit the Save button
Your Stream is now saved
You can use the breadcrumbs to go back to see a live preview of the results
