Data Analysis: Twitter to offer Lucky Sort

Twitter has just fall into her lap a specialist in data visualization, without giving details on the amount of the acquisition.

 
Like dozens of other companies, Twitter is very interested in Big Data and especially how to process the data. From this point of view, the acquisition of Lucky Sort and its TopicWatch service launched in February (he reveals the major trends in the Web and synthesize) makes sense. However, both companies remained very short on details except that TopicWatch will no longer marketed. We understand the value of Twitter for this start-up created 2 years ago in Portland, Oregon, known as "some members will join the Twitter team in San Francisco." But that's all.


 However, it seems that Twitter wants to keep the application nothing for him. In his message on the home page of Lucky Sort, CEO Noah Pepper explains that current customers will abandon the system "to focus only on our future in Twitter."

 Financial terms were not disclosed but then TechCrunch reported that Lucky Sort was previously raised at least 600,000 dollars of funds. Twitter therefore creates more his sights on start-ups like last week or Ubalo fairly recently We Are Hunted leading music service integrated with Twitter.
