We are launched!

Our website has officially launched and is open to the public!  We are still in a BETA phase and are excited to have a long list of additional features that we will be adding in the near future.  There are probably still a couple of bugs that need to be corrected, but overall, everything seems to be in good shape.  Give our site a visit by going to http://www.fanchirp.com.

For now, this is how the site works:  We usually feature between 2 and 5 games a day from the MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL and/or NCAA football and basketball. With those games, we pull tweets about the game every few minutes and analyze the results with our proprietary natural language processing software.  The results are summed up into charts that show the number of tweets for each team, the sentiment of each fan base, and several other charts.  The data is aggregated into 3 minute intervals and displayed via Google's Visualization API. 

The next feature is the Conversation tab, which gives you a real-time view into the discussion about the game.  You can Tweet, Retweet or Reply to other fans directly from the application.  We also encourage users to vote for their favorite Tweets throughout the game, and the top tweets are posted the next day.


We are very excited about this launch and can't wait to roll out additional features in the near future!
