experimental)

• What type of message has the best effect
– Text / image vs shares/likes/retweets

– Regression with share value over time, number of posts over time,
post sentiment

offline
40. Examples

brand
41. Examples

product groups (for example sigarets )?
- Input can be used for designing an effective campaign for or
against usage of the product.
• When a brand is associated in social media with a certain
word like ‘amazing’ or ‘splendid’, does mentioning the word in
campaigns or commercials lead to a higher liking?

Editor's Notes
Can we apply swarm theory to social data analysis? As individuals, we might not be able to hold onto or understand a dataset, but as a group, we can come at a dataset from different perspectives, look at very small parts, and then as an end result -- extract real, worthwhile meaning.
