La nomination di Obama: un’analisi del buzz sui social media

Jeremiah Owyang in questo post ha raccolto alcuni grafici del buzz online relativo ai candidati alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti (Obama, Clinton e McCain) subito dopo il discorso di Obama. Usando degli strumenti free per l’analisi del buzz sui social media,  Owyang ha registrato i volumi di discussione su Twitter, le keyword sui blog e il traffico sui siti dei candidati.

In particolare l’autore ha usato Twist per registrare l’andamento delle keyword Obama, Clinton e McCain negli ultimi sette giorni prima del discorso conclusivo di Obama. Il picco della keyword di Obama si spiega facilmente con la concomitanza dell’evento. Anche usando Twitvolume, Owyang ha rilevato l’assoluta prevalenza di Obama (258.000 citazioni) contro le 29.700 di Hillary Clinton e delle 905 di McCain.

L’ultima analisi effettuata sui dati di twitter è stata la costruzione della tag cloud intorno alle tre solite key word  (Obama, Clinton e McCain)  con Twitter Spectrum. Tuttavia il risultato ottenuto secondo Owyang permette di confrontare le keyword associate a vari candidati, man non va oltre l’associazione di idee in quanto il contesto, determinante per esprimere qualunque giudizio, non può essere recuperato.

Per quanto riguarda  l’andamento delle keyword relative ai tre candidati sui blog negli ultimi trenta giorni, usando Icerocket si è rilevato che, anche in questo caso,  la frequenza più alta l’hanno ottenuta le keyword relative ad Obama.

Per misurare il traffico sui siti dei candidati, infine, l’autore ha usato sia il sito di Alexa che quello di Compete ed entrambi hanno mostrato che il sito ad ottenere il traffico maggiore era quello di Obama.

Insomma, come conclude  Jeremiah mettendo un pò le mani avanti,  è chiaro che l’evidente trend positivo del buzz online nei confronti di Obama non ci da la sicurezza sull’esito della campagna presidenziale, ma a nostro avviso è certamente un chiaro segnale di chi ha lavorato meglio o comunque puntato di più su internet e sui social media.

  • CEP, Events, and Continuous {Transformation | Intelligence} Luglio 1, 2009
    Given that BI thought leaders are wrestling with the notion of events, perhaps we will see a BI-mainstreaming of event processing in the not-too-distant future. Myself, I was way ahead of the game in my expectations of demand for BI access to stream sources. While a combination of legacy database and analytical technology has held BI back, lack of perception […]

    How do you gauge Microsoft's business intelligence market share when it gives BI functionality away for free?

As part of that move, Microsoft now bundles […]

  • Bucking the Cloud Computing Hype Giugno 29, 2009
    Years ago I was running a large software development shop when the "offshoring" movement became all that and a bag of chips. I felt extreme pressure to fire some of my staff in the US and cut a deal with the dozens of outsourcing firms that were calling me daily. I was asked about offshoring so many times that it was clear to me that the pressure w […]
