BlogMeter entra in politica (2.0)

 Nei giorni scorsi  ho avuto modo di dare una rapida occhiata ai primi risultati di (una versione di) BlogMeter “customizzata” per monitorare le conversazioni che trattano temi legati alla politica italiana e devo dire che sono rimasto cosi piacevolmente impressionato che ho deciso di scriverci sopra un breve post.

Questa versione, ”osserva” ciò che si raccontano gli utenti  sui principali luoghi di aggregazione “politica” online (es: policaonline.net, it.politica, ecc. ecc.)  per poi trarne tutta una serie informazioni relative a: “di cosa si parla”, “chi ne parla”, “quanto se ne parla” e cosi via.

Il risultato ottenuto, oltre a fornirci diverse indicazioni riguardanti la popolarità di personaggi e partiti politici (che di per sé è già abbastanza interessante), consente di identificare molti altri dati estremamente significativi come per esempio:

- i temi e gli argomenti maggiormente citati e quelli più dibattuti in ambito socio-politico

-  le conversazioni (o meglio le discussioni) più animate

- gli autori maggiormente “attivi” oppure quelli ”più autorevoli”

- le fonti più rilevanti (almeno in termini di volumi di scambi di opinioni e messaggi)

- le relazioni che intercorrono tra autori, temi e luoghi di aggregazione (usando tecniche di analisi dei social network)

Perdonate la presunzione, ma dopo aver visto un primo “schizzo” di questo quadro, sono certo che, già dalle prossime elezioni, il mondo delle ricerche, del marketing e della comunicazione politica italiana non potranno più fare a meno di utilizzare questo tipo di strumenti per condurre al meglio il proprio lavoro…cosa che del resto i colleghi americani (ma anche francesi) hanno già capito da diverso tempo.

  • WolframAlpha: Lots of Potential, Short on Meaning Luglio 10, 2009
    I haven't been formally trained on WolframAlpha nor have I thoroughly investigated it. In fact, I've spent more time reading the hype about it than I have actually kicking the tires. But from the time I've spent, some things are already obvious. First and prominently, WolframAlpha does not rely on semantic technology, neither Semantic Web nor […]

  • Google's Chrome Operating System: A Revolution in the Making? Luglio 9, 2009
    Too little is known yet about Google's new Chrome OS, but based on the scant information available, it's beginning to look like (a) this might be Google's greatest gauntlet yet, and (b) it just might be a terrific ride for the rest of us as well. The fact is, operating system aficionados (I count myself in that group) have had very little to c […]

  • Will NYC Go with Google Analytics? Luglio 8, 2009
    I just read an interesting post on Tom Miller's blog summarizing NYC Mayor Bloomberg's keynote note from the Personal Democracy Forum. Miller's take on the speech was that the city may use Google Analytics for optimizing Web site content. From this passage about the Bloomberg presentation, I'd have to agree: The Mayor also announced that […]

    As recently reported by Mary Hayes Weier, the enterprise 2.0 social networking geeks at Jive Software (the folks behind the Clearspace wiki platform) have partnered with SAP to make use of BusinessObjects BI on demand offerings. Thus, Jive will enable anyone to embed dynamic analytic widgets into blogs, wikis and discussion forums as shown in this video from […]

  • Will SharePoint 2007's Success Keep 2010 from Leaving the Station? Luglio 6, 2009
    Those who have studied physics might be familiar with the "story" of the penny and the train. The story goes that if you place a single penny under each wheel of a train, you'll prevent it from moving forward. Essentially, the collective resistance from each penny prevents the train moving forward because it's the same as having the train […]

  • Interactive Dashboards: US.Gov Aces, Wimbledon Double Faults Luglio 2, 2009
    The US government has unveiled a dashboard to track IT spending, which looks at first sight a shining example of the power and value of business intelligence. The Wimbledon tennis dashboard, on the other hand, appears less than impressive… As reported in The New York Times, the so-called IT Dashboard was put together by the US government in a remarkably sho […]
