Big Data : Case Studies, Best Practices and Why America Should Care

This Blog post is actually about the words and phrases being used for this post : All words and phrases on the title of the post (and the introductory text) were carefully selected to produce specific thoughts which can be broken down in three parts :

“Case Study” and “Best Practices” were phrases found to be commonly associated with posts of high visibility. You might also get many views if you create a post which proves that whatever concept you are writing about is the right thing to do (for example write a post that clearly demonstrates yet another reason to use Social Media and have this post shown to Social Media Professionals).  Regarding our example : It is very probable (and logical) for Data Miners to look at and then re-tweet (or otherwise share) information which is a “proof” about Data Mining being useful  and also a “cool” profession. The higher concept / motive which works behind the scenes is that “I am doing the right job and this post proves it”.

Of course it is not suggested  that   by using specific words and phrases you are guaranteed a successful post being re-tweeted from thousands of people and there are many reasons for this which i will not get into here. Additionally, Text Analytics cannot infer the higher meaning and concepts suggested within Text and this problem deserves a post on its own. This analysis however identifies concepts and/or phrases that point Bloggers and Marketers to look at a specific direction and with this knowledge to have increased probabilities for a successful Web presence. Again, this is an example of true Social Media Intelligence. Not (just) Reports.
