Comment on Which Government Agencies are Watching You? by Joel Windels

@ZangVoo:disqus It is indeed scary the amount of information available to Governments. It’s perhaps even scarier that many of us offer up this information for free. Cheers for reading
@5f4c82b7d2cfa2ab41830406bfce82df:disqus This article isn’t a comprehensive list of all instances. Interesting to read about Huawei though, it would have made a great addition to this piece. Thanks.

Comment on Google Tire of Playing With Twitter’s Firehose by Gail Gardner

While what can be found on the big three (Twitter, Facebook, and Google+) may be sufficient for big brands whose target audience is the sleeping masses, for those who want to know what is REALLY happening in the world they are insufficient because they are actively censoring what can be found.

That is particularly obvious on Twitter where they now refuse to allow tweets that contain some words or links and sometimes do put the tweets in your timeline but they can’t be found in Twitter search tools. Third party apps are little use because what they must use Twitter’s API so if it isn’t in Twitter search it won’t be in them either.

All thinking people everywhere must collect others in their niche and geographic locations and take them to an independent platform of choice for that niche. That could be key blogs (but watch Automattic because they use Akismet to censor active commenters and more recently hijacked comments in blogs using the JetPack Stats plugin) or independent social networks or forums.

Whatever you use, do it now and make sure you have all your contacts offline and backed up. For years Facebook, Twitter and more recently Google+ have capriciously deleted accounts – and there goes years of connecting, contact data, and content – *poof* gone in a second. Think it can’t happen to you? It happened to Robert Scoble and many others – some big enough to get their accounts back using publicity.

Comment on How does sentiment analysis work? by Dominick Soar

Hi Daniel.

Thanks for the comment. Inaccuracies can occur due to a number of reasons: it might be that the system has misunderstood linguistic techniques like sarcasm or metaphor, or alternatively that the classifer used for the query is not well matched to the topic. I will alert your account manager of your issues – please let him know if they continue.

Thanks
