Hi, I am Ramanathan Narayanan, a graduate student at Northwestern University. I do research in machine learning and text mining.
I am interested in finding influential users on twitter for different trending topics. I am also trying to find similar trending topics, and sentiments in tweets. My goal is to devise efficient algorithms and tools to solve these problems. A website based on my work is Pulse of the Tweeters (http:// pulseofthetweeters.com/) . Any feedback about the site is welcome. -Ram On May 16, 10:37 pm, Jonathan <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm Jonathan Sachs, and I'm working with a company named Kachingle > (http://www.kachingle.com) that's building a new type of service for > letting users give financial support to the web sites they visit.
