Swarm Creativity Blog: Predicting Stock Market Indicators Through Twitter “I hope it is not as bad as I fear”
The Swarm Creativity blog takes a closer look at how sentiment expressed on Twitter affects next day Stock Exchange results.
Cool Trends 2.0 is an important network mapping and analytic tool designed for the semantic web. In this example it provides insights into the causality of relationships between sociality, media, and economics.
Tools like Cool Trends help civic, business, government, and academic leaders develop an understanding of the power of social networks. The relationship between what people say one day and what happens the next can strengthen the ability of leadership to respond pro-actively to what might otherwise be unexpected events.
This is another interesting exploration into the investigative research of Peter Gloor, Research Scientist, MIT Center for Collective Intelligence using Cool Trends 2.0 to analyze the Web, Blogs, and Twitter!
