They say some of the best ideas come at the most unexpected moments, inspired by our every day lives. Such was the case a few Sundays ago in Las Vegas during CES. Over a breakfast of chicken-fried steak and cantaloupe at a café in the Palms Resort, an idea struck between Jodee Rich, CEO of PeopleBrowsr, and Jeffrey Hayzlett, acclaimed author and former CMO of Kodak.

At PeopleBrowsr, one of the most interesting and challenging problems we face is fully communicating the value of ReSearch.ly, and we’re frequently asking ourselves: How can someone know what they’ve been missing if they never knew it was there to miss? Ten years ago, for example, how many of us knew that Google PageRank would drastically change the way we look for information, or that Wikipedia would gain credibility as the ‘new’ encyclopedia for collaborative fact-and-information crowd sourcing? Communicating the usability and usefulness of new technologies and new ideas is a fascinating problem to tackle, and we understand that being an educator is also part of being an innovator in a market that’s still evolving and establishing itself.

The dichotomy of data lies between the freedom and control of information. As individuals, we’re concerned about privacy, yet we fight for transparency. We worry about Big Brother tracking our every movement but in truth, there is not one central governing body. We’re in the midst of an Inverted Orwellian Revolution, in which we curate our own realities by choosing to participate in online communities.

This year marks a critical awakening in the shift of power between those who produce information, those who obtain it, and those who share it. With real-time social media, we are rethinking the flow of information between individual actors, influencers, journalists, governments, and corporations. The recent events surrounding WikiLeaks heightens our awareness of how culture is shaping on the digital frontier. As pioneers in the field of data analytics, we’ve been watching this story through the lens of social research.

From November 29th to December 6th, we extracted all mentions of #WikiLeaks on Twitter to gain a better understanding of the conversation climate on the social web. We wanted to gain insight into how communities were forming groups based on shared beliefs, and the general sentiment surrounding news events. In total, we found 49, 484 mentions of WikiLeaks on Twitter, over a period of 8 days.

From Social Graph to Interest Graph
