#CES2016

Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has been trending for the last 2-3 days. So I decided to make a wordcloud for that. If you don't know what is CES then you should go check it out in Las Vegas or on their website.

The wordcloud is interesting. Apple doesn't participate in it and I think Microsoft is out as well. It's a technology exhibition so there is no surprise that "tech" is the most common word. It's followed by "booth" which makes sense because consumer electronics brands are showing off their "new" gadgets. Intel and LogiTech are the two brands that are appearing often. Similarly, Periscope app is getting some love. Periscope is a video streaming app by Twitter in case you don't know. "Drone" is showing up a lot as well.


 
The sentiment overall is very positive. A quick reminder that although I downloaded 100K tweets, I delete all the retweets so that only original tweets are kept. This has reduced the number of tweets I have been using to plot these graphs.

Yogi Adityanath

Indian state Uttar Pradesh (UP) just concluded their state election. The largest political party in India, BJP, won the election with a massive majority. The new chief minister of the state is Yogi Adityanath, who is not only a seasoned politician but also the head priest of the Gorakhnath temple in UP. There has been a lot of complaining on social media about the choice of the chief minister. I decided to analyze a few thousand tweets in order to figure out the sentiment of the masses on Twitter. The sentiment is overwhelmingly positive! There are two sentiment charts and two wordclouds that were generated one day apart. The first set was generated just after the name of the chief minister was announced and the second was generated earlier today.

#EgyptAir

The big news today is that a plane carrying 66 people from Paris to Cairo has disappeared. Just now Guardian reported that French president Hollande has confirmed that the plane has crashed but no cause for the crash has been determined yet. The plane is still missing though. The wordcloud is as expected talking about the flight from Paris to Cairo. It's speculated that the plance went down in the Mediterranean and that's why you see this word appearing a few times in the tweets. It seems that the tweets are simply spreading this news. There is a little mention of prayers. Literally no mention of terrorism or terrorist, which implies that people are not openly speculating that yet. The sentiment is surprisingly positive. I can't figure out why! Perhaps the tweets mentioning prayers, praying, families, thoughts, etc. are adding to this.

Comparing Jewelry Brands

From time to time I like to study how luxury brands are doing on Twitter. Today I picked up 5 jewelry brands and compared their Twitter sentiment and word clouds. Let's take a look at Blue Nile Diamond, Cartier, Pandora, Swarovski, and Tiffany and Company in that order. Not all of them are luxury brands though so comparison is not that straightforward. Also, There were not many tweets for Blue Nile so the word cloud looks sparse. Blue Nile Diamond Cartier Pandora Swarovski Tiffany & Co Let's take a look at their sentiment graphs.
