5 New Features to Try In DiscoverText - Sign Up for a 30-Day Free Beta with Full Enterprise Access https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dF9NWjZFS1A3dG... or http://bit.ly/pArIvj 1) GNIP PowerTrack Sampling For the first time since the GNIP Powertrack was integrated into DiscoverText, users can import random samples of Tweets from the Powertrack. What this means is that broad search terms such as "Obama" or "has:hashtag" (A search for every tweet that contains a hashtag), will no longer ingest millions of tweets per minute, but rather will be limited to the random sample proportion of your choosing. To utilize this new function, just enter "sample:##" after your GNIP search term. (#= the sample percentage from 1-100). 2) Twitter User Bio Searches As of this week, users of the GNIP PowerTrack can now import tweets, according to keyword(s) in Twitter user bios. What this means is that a user of the Powertrack can now search for - by way of example - 50% of all comments about Obama that are said by people who claim to tweet about Fashion. (Obama bio_contains:fashion sample:50) 3) Foreign Language CloudExplorers Also as of this week, DiscoverText tag clouds can process non-English characters such as Arabic and Chinese. In these foreign language tag clouds, users may now alter word colors, exclude stop words & search terms, and quickly search for any word in the tag cloud. 4) Retweet Searching Users may now use a GNIP operator to import only "retweeted" tweets. For example, to import retweeted tweets that contain the word Obama, one would search: Obama is:retweet. Additionally, users can now also filter according to the specific retweets of a particular twitter account. For example, to import those tweets that are retweeted by Justin Bieber, one would search: retweets_of:justinbieber. 5) TopMeta Exporting Announced last week, DiscoverText Enterprise users may now export TopMeta lists, which highlight the most (or least) frequently occurring items in particular metadata field.
