Twitter can be a powerful tool for MI/CI leaders to have at their disposal

摘要

In this article we’ve presented reasons why it’d useful for a CI analyst to analyze Twitter data. Whilethird-party tools can be used for such an analysis, the flexibility, low cost and relative ease of writing aprogram that can extract information from Twitter via the Twitter API makes a compelling alternative.Through the use of the Twitter API and its associated rich ecosystem of Python wrappers and libraries,it’s possible to write automated programs that can run sophisticated queries against Twitter data. Theextracted data can then, through the use of such techniques as frequency and simple statistical analysis,be used to develop insights on how to effectively compete against your competitors.
