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 …

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 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 medi…

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 Twi…

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 preserv…

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 trendin…

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…

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 top…

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 p…

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:…

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 …
