Where will this all leads too… end user heaven perhaps!
Datasift allows mobile, web and desktop client developers to tune tweets through a number for filters, including keyword, popularity, geolocation, and (through a function Halstead calls “augmentation”) sentiment peer indexes like Klout and links. You can start with one rule, and filter it down even further.
With $1.5 million in funding and the hard lessons learned from the experience of Tweetmeme, it seems like Halstead this time at least has a shot at making all sorts of realtime information a little easier to sift through.
DataSift: A long (39 minute) video, but worth it! by @Scobleizer, ht @A3Munier, cc: @datasift #curation #lrnchat
Just completed the epic 39 minutes! Wow! This is big news… This week I’ve been playing with @storify and @twazzup, amongst other new shiny toys, so I was already in a curation mind set when this came out of the blue via an #Amplify comment…
This is going to revolutionise how we ‘sift’ data. The ability to create rules upon rules or use the filters of others and choose which streams to embed all through a variety of UI is, imo, HUGE news …watching with interest.
