On the other side, if we talk about Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), then Marketers are always looking for information about their customers and their target markets, and Facebook wants to help out. On Tuesday, the social network released that it is going to launch a new data product called “Topic Data,” which will show marketers what users on Facebook are saying about brands, products, events, activities and other specific subjects. The idea is to let companies tap into Facebook’s vast trove of user data to learn more about what consumers like, think, and do, albeit on an anonymous basis.
A business selling a hair de-frizzing product might use Facebook’s topic data to see demographic information about people discussing humidity’s effects on their hair, for example. That information might be used to inform better marketing campaigns on Facebook, but could also be used to inform TV ads or to uncover new potential audiences the corporation hadn’t formerly considered.
Facebook has partnered with DataSift, which will pull data from the social network and make it accessible to its partners. DataSift’s partners can then build technologies designed to analyze the data and turn it into meaningful insights for marketers or other parties. For now, Facebook is working exclusively with DataSift.
