Check out Socialmetrix Labs web and make a test in Spanish to see how SentiTweet works. As a demo it delivers a feedback of 15 tweets, as a sample of its ability to analyze thousands of tweets instantly

The ‘automatic sentiment analysis’ is a task that is becoming increasingly important as social networks grow. It consists of certain rules and procedures for classifying opinions without manual intervention. That is the reason why we are presenting the ‘SentiTweet’ prototype, a new tool that determines if an opinion on Twitter is positive, neutral or negative. Do you have to analyze many opinions instantly to assess the progress of your campaign or product? Need to show an appreciation trend graphic of your brand and compare it to other products? Do you want to identify users who are speaking good things about you? Are you worried about those tweets that suddenly began to criticize your product and you want to know right away? The automatic sentiment analysis is one of the strategies that can help you to decide.

We will continue sharing projects at Socialmetrix Labs, if you are interested in working with this type of technologies send us your personal data to .

Thanks to the feedback we get from our customers, we are constantly aware of the needs that show up regarding social media monitoring and we use this information to continue working towards offering a better service every day.

Searching for new features that could make Socialmetrix Echo´s reports even easier, today we are happy to announce some great news, we introduce “Tags”, and let´s see how it works and what it is useful for.

What is it?

The labels or tags are classifications that can be applied to all the captured opinions that you visualize in the platform.

To create a tab, go to any captured opinion and on the left panel you will see the “Tags” cell, select the “[+] New Tag” option.

You can choose the tag name and tag as many opinions as you need.

   

Why is useful?

This will let you identify, organize, group or associate them under the same name, to generate a sub classification and to use this label to generate reports or to export information.

You have two options to see the tagged opinions: by using the “Export comments” button you can export a file that now includes a column called “Tags” (it could be one tag or many). The other option is by a graph at Dashboard>Tags.

 

And there’s much more to come, so stay tuned…

 

Good analysis!

A note from eMarketer based on an study carried on by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research reveled that the Inc. 500 fastest growing companies are continuing to increase their usage of some social media tools, while pulling back from others.

Nearly three-quarters of the companies studied were using LinkedIn in 2011, and almost half had adopted YouTube. Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare were up in 2011.

Compared to 2009–2010, the usage of blogs, online video in social media, message/bulletin boards, podcasting and Myspace were all down. There was also a 50% decrease from 2010 in Inc. 500 companies who said they used no social media marketing tools.

However Message and bulleting boards along with blogging are some of the tools that marketers are abandoning the most even when are still reported to be highly effective (at least for those companies that continue to use them). While a strong majority of respondents indicated they were having success with Twitter (86%) and Facebook (82%), this was lower than several other, less-popular services.
This could mean that marketers can be abandoning techniques that are generating properly results

However, it could also be a sign that marketers who have mastered these techniques are sticking with them, while those that have seen less success in these areas are pulling back from their efforts.
Those marketers who continue to blog are likely the ones who have seen the most blogging success, for example, while those who found blogging’s return on investment too low have likely moved on.

In addition, the overwhelming popularity of Facebook among marketers means that those with less social media marketing experience or sophistication are likely using it, perhaps pushing success rates down.

· As displayed in the voting surveys, in social networks and online media, Pino Solanas and Daniel Filums fight for second place in the total number of mentions (positive, negative and neutrals, falling behind first place Mauricio Marcri).

· Mauricio Macri has more negative mentions than positive. However, the opposite is seen with opponents Daniel Filmus and Pino Solanas

Buenos Aires, July 6, 2011- Socialmetrix, the Social Media Analytics leader in Latin America, made a report on the leading three candidates of next Buenos Aires City Elections listed with the best vote intent, by monitoring opinions through online media and social networks in Argentina.

By using the Socialmetrix Echo tool from June 5 to July 4, a total of 6879 (positive, negative, and neutral) mentions were given about the candidates who will possibly be the future governance of the city.

Of the total mentions, 45.3% corresponds to Mauricio Macri, giving him the first place spot, following with Daniel Filmus with 27.4% and Pino Solanas with 27.3%. See Figure 1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Analyzing only the positive mentions, Mauricio Macri continues to be in first place with 44.3%, followed by Daniel Filmus with 31.8% above Pino Solanas with 23.9%.

The same applies to the negative mentions. Macri receives the largest portion with 66.9% , followed by Daniel Filmus (18.2%) above Pino Solanas (14.9%).

In conclusion, if we compare the positive and negative mentions obtained by each candidate, the results indicate the following balances:
- Mauricio Macri: -22.6%
- Daniel Filmus: +13.6%
- Pino Solanas: +9.0%

On the other hand, the report shows that while peaks are detected in the total amount of mentions, the results show an increasing trend of references as it nears the date of the elections. See Figure 2.

Using Socialmetrix Brands with the filter “United States” we analyzed more than 2 million comments (May 2011) and generated the following report with the Top 10 most mentioned brands on the Internet.

Based on this report Google is the most mentioned brand with 9.40% Share of Voice followed by Apple (6.69%), Microsoft (5.17%), Samsung (5.05%), Youtube (4.42%), Best buy (3.98%), Blackberry (3.80%), Sony (3.32%), Amazon (2.48%) and Coca Cola (1.94%).

It is important to mention that Socialmetrix Brands search for Entities instead of just Keywords which means that it doesn’t matter if the people say “Coca Cola” or “Coke”, we capture the mention either way.
