This is an iOS tool for finding potentially hundreds of tweets on a given word or subject and using a word cloud to display the summary of your results. So much faster and clearer to see the big picture this way. See what people are saying and what is the trending message.
Interested is spotting Black Swan events early? These are events that are considered rare but have huge consequences. If so then search around the edges of your word cloud for unexpected results and dig deeper to see if a new trend is emerging.
Digr uses up-to-the-second live tweet feed, so no two word clouds are the same. Store and run the same query over time to see how your chosen subject is changing as new thoughts and tweets are added. Publish your word cloud with commentary to a variety of platforms that you choose.
Start with your key word or phrase then drill down to discover hidden content. Just touch the word cloud for a list of all words and add (or subtract) a key word to your next search to home in on a specific subset of your first search. This app is far quicker than reading hundeds of tweets.
Big Data in the palm of your hand. Spot a trend, a threat or an opportunity before it becomes mainstream. DigR - gives you the power to act fast.
Additional features available in app settings:
- choose to display only 10 words in the word cloud to get the headlines or main message or select 25, 50, 75 or up to 100 to see the full story.
