More than any other word \u201cinnovator\u201d describes me best. I\u2019m not saying I\u2019m Steve Jobs – I\u2019m just saying I\u2019m constantly fascinated by new, interesting combinations of ideas that add value. This morning – as I watched the Follow Friday Tweets FLY by on the justSignal tracker<\/a> I began to wonder\u2026<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be great if I could tap into everything people said was \u201cgreat\u201d on Twitter. justSignal<\/a> to the rescue! Here is the justSignal Tracker seeking out everything people Tweet about because it is great<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(I’m not embedding the Tracker here for any number of reasons… but it will live at the link above).<\/p>\n

There are three things that make this exceptionally interesting (to me – feel free to suggest your own in the comments).<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. These are 100% authentic – no gaming of the system. Just real people telling us what they think is “great”.<\/li>\n
  2. Watching the Real-Time Tracker is a great (sorry for the pun) way to discover things that you might think are great too.<\/li>\n
  3. Being able to collect all these tweets for analysis later is an amazingly rich source of information (mostly because of #1 above)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Just as an example, here is an 100% authentic endorsement of a car repair shop. I have no idea who the Drake Garage is… but @ljpalmer<\/a> is clearly a fan. I don’t know about you, but I totally trust this endorsement. Why? Because it is a spontaneous, authentic utterance…<\/p>\n

    I’ll have some more announcements about this experiment over the next few days and weeks. This is a really interesting idea – and further illustrates my point that Twitter Search does not make Twitter a Search Engine. If, however, you can collect the relevant data (for your purpose) you can gain amazing insights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
