Tweet Emotion
01/18/2009As noted in my previous post, I’m still inundated by the sheer volume of tweets at 79 followers and 73 people I stalk! Missing more than a few hours of check time can cause a huge backlog.
When I started this blog, my goal was to reach as many people as possible utilizing Twitter, Facebook, and the good ‘ole coconut wireless. Maybe I’ve been more successful than I originally intended! How do these people with tweet counts in the 1000s manage?
In the comments to the last post, several tools were suggested but the overall impression I got was that Twitter is being used in a more or less random fashion. As a database geek at heart, this doesn’t sit well with me. It’s my feeling that there has got to be a better way to manage the tremendous amount of data.
My overarching goal was to reach out to the Twitter community to see if there was any interest in developing an application that would address the issue utilizing reputation analysis and knowledge management principles. My coding skills have always been suspect but I think that I can definitely articulate the requirements. Do we have any takers?
So That's Life? 
I actually have the same issue and I’m currently working on a Twitter application for that 😉
I’m also a database geek, and see so much potential there – it’s just going to take some work to sort through it all and make it usable!
Thanks Sid! You can be sure that I will be contacting you about ways to harness all this information.
