Technology focused on analytics for the social realm picks up speed. Tech.Huanqiu.com reported on more venture capital funding going towards DataSift. The article “Social Data Analysis Company DataSift $15 Financing” reveals the details on the funding given to this firm specializing in helping developers and third-party access to Twitter, Facebook and other sites.
This technology uses natural language processing techniques and is therefore not solely limited to search function keywords. Their most unique functionality involves their many filters that can sort information according to a variety of factors.
The article discusses how DataSift’s 300 corporate customers, but:
“[C]ompared with 200 a quarter has improved, including Fortune 500 companies, also including social technology companies, news agencies, consulting firms and government agencies. DataSift also recently released a variety of new services to facilitate corporate social data analysis and commercial data integration. This service and business intelligence applications, databases, data warehousing platform and other cloud computing services complement each other, including Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, MongoDB, CouchDB, FTP / SFTP, ElasticSearch and WebHooks.”
When DataSift gets more money, they will have even more ability to support more services. Not that the current list has that many shortcomings.
