Where is the CA social media archive?

Really, with all the social media companies in San Francisco, I'm surprised a company from NC did this first.

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 guess you could draw some parallels to services like Cue on the consumer side. Maybe some other folks here on HN know better?

And yes, we'd love to be the archive for CA (or SF for that matter).

Great stuff Anil! I think this nails the archival piece of social data. How can this be extended to use the archived data for insights i.e. run data mining algorithms (think SAS on social data). There are few players in that field but if both of these utilities can be coupled, this will be a powerful tool.

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 legal reasons?

Great work Anil. I did a quick search on beer brewing (near and dear to my heart) and found great government information from legal quantity to some local resources. This site will be valuable if I ever develop a recipe that I will want to sell. Do yo have any plans to do cross search to set up a regional type archive. For example, if I wanted to sell my beer in adjoining states such as VA and SC.
