This is the most important aspect of social media monitoring. Orgs wants to be able to track tonality and sentiment around the issues they monitor. There are a lot of services out there with sophisticated algorithms that look for words they associate with negative, positive or neutral tone. For example, "loss" might be considered negative. But put "weight" in front of it and, in the US anyway, it becomes positive and an term the FDA or Jenny Craig's social media experts would want to pick up.

Maybe that means I'm getting old? I'm certainly not interesting enough to regularly tweet out my daily activities, and I certainly don't care what you are doing.:p Now get off my lawn!

I still don't know what the # tag thing means and I don't care to know.

I understand that.

So: "#newcayman #awesomeness" has valuable information.
HOWEVER: "#ijustpooped #feelingood" doesn't have much value, unless you are a laxative company, and even then, I doubt there is much useful information there.

Seems twitter users are skewing the metadata by hashmarking everything to death.

But hey - "Everyone's doing it, and it looks so cool -- so I should do it as well!" IE: most people who hashmark everything to death do not understand the implications, which is the whole problem with Social Media.

Its new, its cool, some people over use it, I like melted butter on my toast, and ran two hours today in a kart. #random post

Lots of programs have the hashtag on the screen during the show. If I'm at home watching #hoarders I can discuss it in real time with other random people watching by clicking the hashtag. I used it a bunch during the debates and presidential election as well. Its very useful if others are using it. If you're the only one using a tag, its kinda pointless.

You guys are old.

once you reach a certain age, that has a lot of value...

What's this texting you type of?

Oh don't act surprised, you know I'd get a round tuit eventually. :)

A guy at work sent me a text and then later asked why I didn't reply.
I said "because I'm not a teenage Girl."
