Bethesda, Maryland (PRWEB) January 8, 2010
SentiMetrix, a company based in Bethesda, Maryland, has released its free sentiment tracking service. It is used to detect very subtle changes in opinion in over 50,000 traditional and social media sources and provide current and historic data on up to five simultaneous queries for comparison.
“Our patent-pending algorithms provide extremely granular responses to users,” said Vadim Kagan, President of SentiMetrix. “We can detect subtle shifts in opinion, whereas most opinion analytics tools will tell you if something is positive, negative, or neutral. We give you an early warning system to tell you if opinions are trending positive or negative. That can make all the difference in the world for a brand that is still being perceived as positive, but whose status is dropping. A company needs to know that sooner rather than later.”
The software is designed for use in any industry in which there is a need for measuring public opinion: politics, advertising, retail, reputation management, corporate communication strategy and social media marketing.
“Anyone with a brand or a reputation to protect needs this free tool,” said Laurel Earhart, Vice President of Business Development. “And it’s a must-have for anyone with a social media strategy. This gives marketers a leg up on their competition because it will allow them to discern trends early on. Politicians will know what their constituents think about them or an issue before and after they give a speech, and public relations staff will have heads up on topics before they make the evening news.”
