Social Analyzer App "ThinkUp" Hits Version 1.0
There’s no denying that social media has changed the way a lot of people conduct business and relationships. Although, organizing all that valuable data is a major pain. Software developer and former Lifehacker Gina Trapani has been working to change that with ThinkUp, a server-based app that assembles, archives, and analyzes your social life. ThinkUp shed its beta label today as it hit 1.0.
ThinkUp can be used to aggregate data from Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. Once that data is stored safely on a ThinkUp server, it can be parsed in various ways with easy searching, and data visualization charts. It can even read geocodes attached to postings and can show them on a map. Users can take any conversation, or bit of data and embed it on a website or blog.
In the future, ThinkUp will become more extensible with support for plug-ins, and hopefully easier set up. The new version can also be run on Amazon EC2. ThinkUp is free and open source, so take a look if the tweets are overwhelming you.
