Klipfolio is sharing a real-time look at social media mentions and sentiment in partnership with Talkwalker, a leading social listening and analytics platform. Talkwalker provides sentiment analysis by analyzing each word in a message and assigning it a tone and a score. In addition, there is a natural language processing engine which allows the platform to understand the grammatical structure of the sentence. For example, "I am not happy" is a negative even though the word 'happy,' a positive word, is included. This technology provides an overall sentiment rating that is 70-75 percent accurate.
"Machines won't deliver the same accuracy as a human reading for sentiment," said Mychelle Mollot, Klipfolio's Chief Marketing Officer. "For example, they don't understand jokes, irony or sarcasm. Thus, the way you should read sentiment analysis is by interpreting trends over time and not individual results."
Klipfolio is an online dashboard platform used to build powerful real-time business dashboards. The company creates pre-built templates (Klips) for some of the most popular services and data sources and allows customers to download them to their own dashboards in seconds.
Klipfolio has recently added a number of new Talkwalker "Klips" to its Gallery. Talkwalker is a leading social listening and analytics platform, making it very simple for customers to add this new data source to their dashboard. The new Klipfolio Talkwalker Klip allows anyone to easily track social media sentiment over time.
