thanks @rrhoover! 😊

Imagine how cool that would be if an algorithm could differentiate Signal app from word "signal" in those articles...

@vladzima Yeah, thats a great idea. We have actually parsed the articles for named entities and tagged the part-of-speech already in the backend (e.g. to differentiate proper nouns), but it's not build into this tool yet.
Jan König
Looking good. I like how you can compare anything. How many sources do you analyze?
Jan Tewes Thede
Maker
Thanks @einkoenig. We tested a lot with different source sets and noticed that the results are better if we go for quality over quantity and focus on the top sources. For the INDEX we analyze 5,000-10,000 articles per month from the leading tech news websites.

We heard you @vladzima and @bentossell :) You can now mouseover the graph and see the share of articles that cover the analyzed topics

@jtthede Cool, that was fast. I believe we'll not get an opportunity to see absolute numbers? ;)

@vladzima We analyze 5,000-10,000 articles per month - do the math ;)
Stowe Boyd
Very nice. I can see using this in many contexts.

Thanks @stoweboyd 🔮
Ben Tossell
This is cool - would like to see some numbers so that the data means more than just the lines going up (or down)
Jan Tewes Thede

Thanks @bentossell. The graphs show the relative attention in the leading tech websites. But it is a good idea to add the total number of articles
Ben Tossell
@jtthede yeh for sure, I would like to have an actual number to be able to pin-point

Hey there. We updated 12K INDEX, our tech media attention analyzer. You can now compare the coverage of up to five topics in the leading tech media outlets. Here is a blog post on how we use the tool at 12K to evaluate emerging technologies: https://medium.com/@12KResearch/.... Let me know if you have any questions.

@jtthede This is really neat. Do you have any examples of some new or interesting or surprising insights that you uncovered from this?
Jan Tewes Thede

Hi @kleneway. Analyzing lots of tech trends revealed two main insights: 1) There are recurring trend diffusion pattern that can help to evaluate the status of a tech trend 2) The media attention for a trend clearly correlates with its economic indicators (user numbers, revenue, shipments...)

@jtthede @12kresearch I've tried "Product designer" "UX deisgner" "UI designer" and "Front-end developer" https://index.12k.co/index/%22Pr... Great idea!
Will Perkins
@jtthede this is a great idea. Can I also analyze keyword combinations?

Hi @wilperkins Yes, you can now use OR, AND and NOT operators and combine them however you want. Try for instance https://index.12k.co/index/(%22S...

@findabhilash thanks, glad you like it.

Great stuff - I actually needed to see the growth of the term 'innovation' for something else I was doing and this is perfect. Great work.

@jwelch Cool, good to hear.
Donna Kennett
This is great. Any reason why it only covers to end of 2016 though?
Christoph
Maker
Thank you @donnamkennett , it covers until January 2017 (you can see this if you hovering the mouse cursor over the end of the chart) . We always cover until the last full month, just to ensure to have enough and comparable data.
