The Problem

A major European Telco

11

• Can you tell us what people say about our new product?

• Can you tell us who is supporting the product and who trashing it?

• Of those, can you tell us who is an influencer?

Its Forum Site


The Data

12

• The Data Set unfortunately cannot be shared

• Slashdot Forum Data are!

• Slashdot was a public forum built in 1997 and hosting a number of discussions: from software to philosophy, from science fiction to politics.

• Politics was the biggest discussion group

• So, politics is what we analyzed to find out:– What users were thinking about a political issue

– Who was pro and who was con

– Who was an influencer



The Politics Group in the Slashdot DataSet

14

• 24 000 non anonymous users

• 496 posts

• 140 000 comments

• Most posts have around 200 comments

Conclusions

30

• Is Carl Bialik from WSJ is an influencer and … neutral.

• Most influencers are actually neutral.

• Worth it keep informed

• dada21 is talking positively about each topic. Worth it to pamper him/her.

• Of the negative talking users, pNutz though obnoxious, is not the main worry. Catbeller is.
