‘Why The Twitter-Bluefin Deal Matters’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Why The Twitter-Bluefin Deal Matters”.
Dan Lyons says, “Twitter is buying Bluefin Labs, a cool startup in Cambridge, Mass., and this is signifcant for a couple of reasons. First, it’s important simply because Bluefin is a really cool company, one that I first discovered last summer and wrote about on my personal blog, in a post titled, “Bluefin Labs mixes science and media, and what they’re doing will blow your mind.” It’s social analytics for TV, a way to see what people are saying on Facebook and Twitter about the shows and commercials they’re seeing on TV. It grew out of a project at MIT involving machine intelligence and language acquisition, and its name comes from a sushi place on Mass. Ave. that its founders frequented”.
