The document discusses using semantics and social network analysis to detect signals from real-time social web data, such as citizen reports on events, in order to understand social perceptions and extract insights. It presents examples of tools like Twitris that analyze tweets about news events and the BBC SoundIndex that tracks online music popularity. The research aims to better understand how social media can be used as a proxy for tracking popular opinions, events, and buying preferences.

- We conclude that new opportunities for self expression on the web provide a more accurate place to gather data on what people are really interested in than tra- ditional methods. The even stronger results from the younger audience suggests that this trend is, if any- thing, accelerating.
