One Wordcloud A Day

Google's largest annual event - the I/O conference - is taking place right now. You can find more news about it on Techcrunch or other tech blogs I have around 32K clean tweets for the analysis. I was interested in knowing which Google products get most mention. I didn't use Google in the wordcloud because it would be obviously the most commonly used word. Well, as it turns out Android is the most popular product that was discussed in these tweets. Allo is the new chat app that Google introduced to take on iMessage. Overall sentiment was quite positive but there were still around 18% negative tweets. These could be because of Google invited people to suggest what its next version of Android should be called. It starts with N so basically it was open to a lot of racist jokes.

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...

Needless to say, today's wordcloud is for "happy new year". Wish you all a great 2016! Twitter was wishing "everyone". The sentiment was overly positive, which is great news.
