Real-time feed in Javascript widgets

Jul 27th

Posted by admin in Milestones

No comments

Check out the real-time feed in the Javascript widget. Tweets show up in the widget within seconds of being posted to Twitter, and you can use sentiment filters to tune the tonality of your widget feed. For example, if you want to display sentiments for the Monaco Hotel in San Francisco and remove all profane or otherwise unsafe quotes from your widget, use the query: hotel monaco “san francisco” -sentiment:profane -sentiment:unsafe

A tip for tuning the data collection

The real-time feed keeps sentiments in temporary storage that gets periodically flushed. If you want to save the sentiments permanently, set up a More >

A few tips for setting up complex searches

Most of the queries (or searches) you will be using in alerts or widgets will contain multiple words and search operators. Here is a list of definitions and rules that Cuesense supports.

A query contains several terms and phrases, combined via search operators.

Term A single word, e.g. Madrid Phrase Multiple words that have to appear together in text. Use quotes, e.g. “san francisco”

Combining terms and phrases By default, when you type multiple terms or phrases in a query, they are all required. In other words, the default operator is an ‘AND’. You can also type AND explicitly in the query, More >

Photo query and new First View mode in Flash widgets

Jun 10th

Posted by ssokolenko in Milestones

No comments

When you open the Flash widget editing screen today, you will notice some changes.

Photo Query The Flash widget options are now the same as the ones available in the Javascript widget. You can now set the photo query independently of the quotes query, which should come handy as the query syntax for quote sources (Twitter, Blogs etc) differs quite a bit from the one used by Flickr for photo searches. For example, if you are building a widget for user reviews about the Argonaut Hotel in San Francisco, you will want to search for both San Francisco and SF and More >

Opinion Search extended with advanced sentiment search parameters

Apr 14th

Posted by ssokolenko in Milestones

No comments

Check out our new Advanced Opinion Search parameters “sentiment”, “valence”, and “from”/”to”. On Opinion River (formerly News River) click on “advanced search”. Here you have a choice of 8 sentiment dimensions such as “joy”, “sadness”, or “surprise”, two quality dimensions “positive” and “negative”, and two profanity filter dimensions “profane” and “unsafe”. We are using Plutchik’s color wheel in case you were wondering about the sentiment colors. The Sentiment Color Map and the Sentiment selection checkboxes are coordinated. When you click on a sentiment area in the map, the appropriate checkbox is selected too, and vice versa.

The “valence” search parameter represents More >

Profanity Filter added

If you want to remove all profane and otherwise unsafe words and idioms from your testimonials feed, use the recently released profanity filter when specifying the Search Query for your widgets. The Profanity Filter recognizes several thousand words and idioms that are considered racist, pornographic, and profane. In addition to the “profane” sentiment dimension, we also added the “unsafe” sentiment dimension to flag phrases that refer to sexuality, drug use, criminal activity and other potentially delicate topics. These two new dimensions work just like any other sentiment dimensions.

How to: start conversations

So you just saw a movie and have something to say about it. Or you had an idea about a Kindle feature and need to share it with the world. What if someone you know (or, even better, you don’t know) had the same idea? If you follow a lot of tweeps or blogs, it’s often difficult to find the gold nuggets in the stream. We think Cuesense is good at starting conversations, because we crunch a lot of tweets and blogs and can generally figure out who is talking about what and how. And our busy text crunchers in More >
