Real-time search is a challenge due to the sheer volume of
information and the difficulty to filter and find relevant
information.
Filtize (www.filtize.com) is a start up working on
new ways to improve access to real time information.
The
service improves real time Twitter search through data processing,
filtering and enhanced visualization and navigation.
It can be
used by media organizations who need to track searches and find
specific information or marketing companies looking for trends
information.
The service is supported by innovative technology and
functionality:
. The service allows to define persistent searches
that are constantly running on the server and for which data is
retrieved in real-time from Twitter and cached on Filtize server. The
service also has defined a few domain specific searches.
. The data
is processed and enriched on Filtize server using natural language
processing technologies including data categorization, filtering,
content and topic matching, statistical analysis, etc.
The service can work with any language but is currently optimized for English,
Spanish and French languages.
. A rich user web interface
allows to navigate and filter the searches and visualize additional
information including meta data (whether a link points to text, sound
or video content for instance), trends and sentiment analysis.
. The UI
also allows to reuse Twitter web interface to look at specific users
for instance.
. The service offers a scalable and modular
platform architecture to quickly and easily expand features and
capabilities
I am working on enhancing the service which will include additional capabilities around data curation, additional filtering, data clustering and alerting.
I am welcoming suggestions, feedback and funding propositions.
