#NationalCatDay

I was busy teaching yesterday and in the evening had a dinner with a few marketing professors in Singapore from NUS, NTU, SMU, and a professor from HKUST. The guest of honor was Prof. Norbert Schwarz (yes, it was THE Norbert Schwarz!). Therefore, I had little time to post the wordcloud.

Today's hashtag was #NationalCatDay. It was trending a lot in the afternoon when I started downloading. Here is the wordcloud. I was surprised to see Taylor Swift's name getting a lot of mentions. My wife told me that Swift is a cat lady. I hope that's the right explanation.

The sentiment in the tweets is super positive. There are more neutral tweets compared to negatives tweets! There is no reason to not like cats. If you don't like them...what's wrong with you? ;)

ISIS

Today ISIS was trending and I decided to make a wordcloud from that rather than using any trending hashtag. The wordcloud shows context-specific words, obviously linking to Paris attacks. But there are some other interesting words patterns too. I thought this was very interesting. In particular the news that Anonymous is taking on ISIS has struck a cord with people. Also, there is some talk about Obama. Perhaps calling for him to fight with ISIS with more intensity? Putin's name shows up a bit as well. Interestingly only these two world leaders show up often. French president Hollandes is curiously absent! The sentiment is very negative, as expected.

#GOPDebate

Sorry for the break over the last few days. I was in Shanghai and all Google services are blocked there including Blogger.com. Also, Twitter is blocked so I couldn't get any tweets to analyze. Now that I am back in Singapore, here is the wordcloud for today. Trump is at the center of the GOP debate! He is killing it (on Twitter at least). Interestingly Ted Cruz and Rubio are now showing up. Fiorina and Carson get a few mentions. But look at Jeb Bush! Can you even spot him here? The sentiment is as expected. Clearly way more positive than negative.

#TrackOfTheDay

Today's hashtag is TrackOfTheDay, which is clearly about music. I wasn't sure whether this is a promoted hashtag but after looking at the wordcloud I know it was. Shazam is showing up so many times with The Vamps Band, it is a clear indication that this was not organic. Not an issue for me! It shows that worcloud is powerful enough to grab such patterns. The sentiment is highly positive. I am not surprised.
