Agreed. We have some really exciting ideas on how to derive value out of this data, now that we have it in this form. I am curious what kind of analytics you think might be useful to government agencies or companies keeping this data for le

Lots of innovation over here in NC :) I suppose most folks are working on the "sexy" side of social media (i.e. marketing/engagement). There are some compliance-oriented startups in the valley, but nothing quite like this that we know of. I

I appreciate the comment. You are right that, on the surface, this is something fairly easy to say you are doing. There are lots of tools like Backupify, etc that store social media content in some way. The problem is that its virtually imp

Definitely. Financial Services is the flagship market for a solution like this due to SEC and FINRA compliance requirements around record keeping. Imagine not being able to use Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn unless you are able to keep reco

Ron, to clarify, we do present the information back in a way that mimics the original social network, but we don't actually preserve the content pixel-by-pixel. We actually preserve the raw metadata and recreate the look, feel, and behavior

Ha, thanks for the comment. Funny seeing searches for "trout fishing" increasing on our realtime web analytics :) Speaking of which, we are pretty interested in things like trending topics so that you can see what citizens in a particular g

I appreciate it, and you are exactly right. Most governments take anywhere between two to 10 days to even acknowledge a FOIA request. If they are doing anything about social media, then they have to scour through folders of screenshots to f

Some background: We launched this archive with the State of North Carolina yesterday. As far as we know, North Carolina is the first government in the world to make web 2.0 records available to the public in this type of extremely searchabl

Hmm. You're probably right... still sounds like a win/win/win (if you count the customer that gets their design done and feels good about charity). My wife and I visited Christchurch a little over a year ago. Great town with incredibly frie

I think I get his point. Not sure if app/business is the right terminology, but he's distinguishing between: building something "better" VS understanding how and why you will realistically win users/customers.

Great list of additional restrictions/shortcomings. I forgot to mention that you can't post a photo that is hosted on the Facebook CDN - that is really annoying.

Thanks. I'm definitely keeping the code around since it's fully implemented. I might either reduce the scope of the alerts (for example, ignore add/remove and focus on changes only) or just bring it back when I have more confidence in the A

Ha - ChromeSpeed! Glad to see you have the project page hosted and the video on YouTube. Maybe we should port to iPhone? Definitely an Angry Birds killer... OK, sorry to go off topic, we should catch up offline (or online elsewhere)!

Gotcha. I thought you might report updates only. The problem is that people can also remove their status instead of setting it back to "Single". Focusing on value updates only is probably fine and I'm sure nobody is going to freak out if th

Right, I also thought I could work around the issues by ignoring fluctuations in the data. The problem is knowing what is the correct baseline data. In your example, the education:concentration might be missing when you first start checking

I should say that I've been lurking on HN for quite some time and that this is my first post :-) One motivation for writing this post was that I was surprised to see how often the Facebook API will drop/omit data that exists and that you sh
