I'm planning on doing a more in-depth write up on how NER/NLP in the tweetosphere is different that general NER/NLP which will by me technical explanation of what I did here. That should be up sometime later this week.

Can you elaborate more on how having these specific tweets helps your specific startup or how you are converting them from casual tweeters to your new users?

Right now there is a big disconnect in the post. I am guessing its because you assume the reader understands even what ner/nlp is

Originally the post was going to be a bit more technical but I decided to keep is simple and see what the reaction was to it. I'll make sure to put that in the technical post. For now I've included an image that I hope gives readers a bit more of an understanding on how we're using this application.

I'm very interested by the follow-up post, but there's no email subscription on your blog. :(

I put the blog post on Ghost droplet with Digital Ocean in a hurry as my first attempt with using Medium never ended up on the front page. I'll add one as quick as I can. For now follow me on twitter @trevorstarick. :)

Have you considered what potential there is for scaling in up? Because if all you are getting that way is 100 uniques a day, the effort involved sounds like it'd make it a net loss compared to simply buying the traffic via paid advertising. If the tweets continue to generate additional referrals down the line, then of course it might change.

But frankly, having seen the travel space up close, I find this system more interesting than your startup...
