While polling data is more representative of the population surveyed, Taykey analyzed the volume of conversation during and immediately after the debate. This too found it’s way to MSNBC.


Last night on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’Donnell, Taykey’s sentiment analysis of the online conversations during the debate framed an interesting segment about Gov. Romney’s interactions with the moderator.

TAYKEY’S VIEW OF THE iPHONE 5 ANNOUNCEMENT
Yesterday, Apple announced the iPhone 5. We have a healthy iPhone vs. Galaxy discussion going on in the office and we thought it would be fun to turn our technology on the announcement. We tracked online conversation about each feature minute by minute as the Apple press conference unfolded and the live blogging of the event spread into the world.
Here’s what the event looked like to…


A presidential campaign is inherently volatile and reactive, with both candidates frequently reacting to events outside their control and then their reactions taking on a life of their own. Yesterday was such a moment, with both candidates responding to the tragic events in Libya and elsewhere.
Taykey’s technology monitors the web across over fifty thousand sites to both understand what…

This summer, Taykey was lucky to have Kate Witteman join us as an Intern. Kate worked on a variety of projects, from planning company events to researching infographics and marketing materials. She was kind enough to write a recap of her summer experience:

Avengers vs. Spider-Man: Which Summer Blockbuster…
What’s better online — to get more buzz or more love? When it comes to Holywood blockbuster movies, they’ll take what they can get. As we turn toward the homestretch for the summer movie season, both Marvel’s The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man might have a claim on winning the web in 2012.

It’s Time to Be Real.
It’s about time that digital marketers learn how to be more real. Well, more real-time. Just like Darwin said, it’s not about being the biggest, or the smartest, it’s about responding fast.
Digital marketers are clamoring to leverage social media data and real-time marketing technologies to understand consumer attitudes and interests, but listening and responding on a traditional media cycle is…

On the Big Screen: Surface Beats Retina
Both Apple and Microsoft made big product announcements within a few days of each other this month — Apple at its June 11 WWDC with the new MacBook Pro with Retina display, and Microsoft at its June 18 launch for the Surface tablet.

But they did, and this fun infographic from Taykey (the latest in their monthly series) shows it.

NBA Playoff Teams’ Seasons in Social Media
The NBA’s lockout-shortened regular season has come to a close and the 2012 playoffs tip-off Saturday. It was a pretty remarkable season on the court — LeBron James’s statistical genius, Jeremy Lin‘s magical run and Blake Griffin’s thunderous dunks being just a few of many highlights.
But pro basketball had the Internet atwitter, too. Men and women — okay, mostly men — took to Facebook,Twitter,…
