We’re drinking from the social media fire hose Massive data to process and make sense of it all But … We Don’t Need to boil the ocean!85

Internet Abundant with Predictive Signals

Beyond Listening: Reinventing Social Media MonitoringIf a statusupdate reachesa social networkbut no one seesit, does it exist?

Are people using the wrong solutions todetermine what people are saying?

@listening as a use case … Why Bother?? “the problem with social is that there is so much data - there’s 40 or 50 data points that you can measure and you have to figure out whether they are important. Some of those measurements are fundamentally not important.

Next Steps in Business Intelligence Reporting Application App Server DB/DW Bus1960 - 2010: Business intelligence =Enterprise database reports 2010 - : Web emerges as go to source for Intelligence Unstructured content Streams Cloud deployment

Pain!! • Broad listening across the internetBlogs Forums Press • Focused on keyword matches News Social Sites Trade Sites Networks – Mentions of • Brand name “Starbucks” • Product names “Frappuccino” • Produces valuable insights, but is exploratory in nature, as a result, it can not answer tactical questions and is not scalable. “I’m drowning in data and documents from the internet but I need actionable insights”

8 Brand Monitoring Challenges1. Signal to Noise Ratio2. Not Scalable, too manual3. Insightful vs. Actionable4. Poor Geography / Location5. Local Data Gap / Blind Spot6. Platforms often lack needed segmentation capabilities7. Correspondence between Online chatter vs. Offline Word of Mouth is Industry dependent8. No established, universally acceptable standards for conducting social listening

Too Much To Read

Problems we all face with Social No Process Success Undefined 90 % Unstructured Time Consuming Hard to Scale esp. at the beginning

“Lens” approach usingBoolean queries and saved datasets don’t seem to work very well

Monitoring has become too complex http://www.youtube.com /watch?v=4Y-SVxnVOv8 Radian6 Query on Foreclosures in Rhode Island"housing solution"~2 AND "rhode island" AND "foreclosure", "road home program"~3 AND"foreclosure", "home loan modification"~4 AND "foreclosure", "jobless rate"~3 AND"foreclosure", "bankrupcy" AND "foreclosure" AND "housing" AND "obama", "rhode islandhousing"~3 AND "forclosure", "foreclosure prevention funds"~5, "bank foreclosures rhodeisland"~4 AND "obama", "selling house"~4 AND "foreclosure" AND "obama", "hardest hitfund"~4, "national foreclosure mitigation"~6, "homeowner stability initiative"~5 AND"obama", "roadhome program"~2, "hud homes rhode island"~3 AND "obama", "foreclosuresettlement"~4 AND "25 billion"~2 AND "obama", "fannie mae freddie mac"~10 AND"foreclosure", "keeping people in their homes"~4

Best Solutions Designs~20+ Issues (profiles) permutations muchtoo expensive (RI Congressional Race)

And we don’t get our “Pie in the Sky”

New Solutions Lie in …• Adding additional dimensions to the data (i.e.: time, place)• Adding Custom Taxonomies, Lexicons and data mashups helps, if done well and cleanly• Customizing the source data feeds• Customizing Data Extraction from Pages Crawled• Defining what your goals are• Defining what, when, where and how your going to accomplish your goals• Define your Key Performance Indicators that tell you if you hit or missed your goal targets
