#nodesummitNode Summit '13Conversations regarding Node.js and CrowdChat Demo at http://nodesummit.com/nodejam/
Dean of Big Data
Contemplating how to leverage CrowdChat to crowdsource/brainstorm big data use cases with clients
Dean of Big Data
Great way to gather a bunch of new ideas quickly @furrier
John Furrier
gr8 @schmarzo at @spark_summit cofounder of Databricks loved CrowdChat to hold virtual office hrs; marketers are replacing webinar with social chats; debates in town hall format; or just brown bag lunches all uses cases ..
Crowd Captain
we can help you by our search feature under the hood to get relevant people down to very fine grain levels of interests.. #bigdata
Dean of Big Data
Great way to disseminate information while engaging your target community around a specific topic area #bigdata
Brian Fanzo
social listening is powerful & when you have a tool to create engagement and at the same time log the conversation for reference & analytics you get a solution beyond brainstorming. It's the perfect match of social real time & community forum.
Tim Crawford
The challenge is compiling the information in real-time into digestible streams that can be correlated.
Brian Fanzo agree while also keeping the data and conversation alive.
Tim Crawford Agree w/ Brian that there is a longevity over time that needs to be maintained.
Dean of Big Data Perfect for dropping the conversations into an analytics environment to ascertain or score the level of interest in a topic
Henrik Wagner
used the platform for a BigData CrowdChat at SAP TechEd. many big data use cases were discussed in real-time. We should connect you on those ideas
Henrik Wagner
Love the #CrowdChat platform especially in finding ways to engage in new untapped vehicles through social. Works like a charm in the #SAP ecosystem
John Furrier
CrowdChats are for everyone - free; we make money by paid service for large communities and marketers who value the data and scale of data science
John Furrier
real time meets big data is our motto delivering amazing user experience from dorm room to board room!!!
reuben e katz
I like the potential for aggregating complete threads of relevant and important conversation - storing and finding, referring back is important
Crowd Captain
Don't forget to mention the voting mechanics and the title of CrowdCaptain which Henrik you been twice before
John Furrier great to mention top voted thread literally rises to the top for the headline with award of CrowdCaptain (like mayor gaming foursquare uses)
Dean of Big Data
I like the ability to throw new ideas out to the audience and everyone has an equal opportunity to voice their opinions
Tim Crawford
Ideas: Leverage CC as the engine behind other tools. And provide APIs to the data/ analytics.
Tim Crawford
CrowdChat provides a more structured way for conversations in real-time while maintain different discussion threads.
John Furrier
I love how it unifies the ephemeral social networks with the hashtag..built in algo monitoring and machine learning is under the hood.. Ck out CrowdMail by clicking on a name in chat..you see profile and messaing
Brian Fanzo I focus a lot of my analytical study of digital content that we are putting out as a company based on not the amount of views but the amount of clicks crowdchat allows you to get those clicks over a longer period of time which is great
Brian Fanzo
I used tools like Twduvs and buffer and HootSuite but when it comes down to collaborating on Twitter chats I am stuck using the Twitter feed or TweetDeck which is great but all is lost after the chat is over.
Crowd Captain
What is CrowdChat - CrowdChat is a global real-time social network platform with integrated conversation application for public group discussions and information sharing.
Crowd Captain
Making best use of current static networks to foster great and easy connection...big problem to solve -- human communication - it’s broken
Crowd Captain Our value
1. User active engagement (data)
2. Data science insights
3. Discovery & Search
John Furrier
Business model is free for users and paid service for data insights
Dean of Big Data
I love how crowdchat leverages twitter to build a twitter echo chamber around specific topics
John Furrier
@CrowdDr good luck on stage at #nodejam in few minutes - go CrowdChat..
John Furrier
Using virtual space to create "appointment based" event (chats) use time as the main filter plus people with something to say with their target peer groups..
reuben e katz
Is this using socket? Need to talk front end friendliness for mobile (on iPhone- it's harsh )

I can imagine this is very early model - something we didn't like about hipchat was lack of ability to sort or find history and crowd involvement was not easy
John Furrier
there is no mobile but we nailed socket for firewalls not mobile yet.. funding we get mobile up and running
reuben e katz makes sense. We use hipchat internal and for events but it is very flawed. The mobile version is good and useful. Historical info and solving issues will be huge advantage for you
Crowd Doc
Yes it uses socket.io
reuben e katz nice. It's snappy
Crowd Doc
You can see the historical chats at crowdchat.net .. recent chats.
John Furrier
we can easily nail mobile just need to get the cash to fund mobile tech and design our top priority..use cases are great but UI UX is very crude at this point; back end scales nicely
Brian Fanzo
I use hipchat & Lync today but they lack a social connection element which makes the tool only good inside the enterprise.
Crowd Doc
We are hipchat for public conversations.
Brian Fanzo as a companies embrace social media as not only a collaboration platform but digital face of its brand I believe #CrowdChat can be the forum, tweet chat, instant message & analytic gauge for community relationship development which = ROI
John Furrier
Data science in marketing is huge says Greg Sands

Tim Crawford
Data science in marketing is huge today, with even larger opportunities on the horizon!
John Furrier I'm biased on CrowdChat as cofounder so of course that's my fav - but ToneDen and Modulus
John Furrier connecting for other transactions other than mkt'g is another value prop
Tim Crawford
Even w/ just Marketing, the opps are massive for COs. Been discussing opps that most haven't considered yet. Exciting!
John Furrier
My fav line i heard from VC on CrowdChat after they used it..."CrowdChat has a built in idiot filter" voting drives behavior
Brian Fanzo
I agree voting is what Twitter wishes the favorite button was and I think being able to toggle on and off social posting is very valuable
Tim Crawford Core Twitter discussions need a fav and mute button for convos.
reuben e katz
Did anyone see the Modulus guys on stage earlier? How'd they do?
Crowd Captain
they kicked ass..right on the number 5mins and presentation was awesome..developer focused and fast #devops mantra
reuben e katz proud of you guys @modulus !!
reuben e katz glad to hear it. Excellent team, great guys and solid platform. Sorry I wasn't there to cheer them on!
John Furrier
Dani used your comment here as demo on stage you're CrowdChat famous..worthy of CrowdCaptain status just for that
John Furrier
CrowdChat you have to log in to comment (Twitter or Linkedin) once logged in click on someone's name and see CrowdMail feature; Our mission is to make it easy to find targeted people to have relevant (documented) conversations.
Crowd Captain
Another feature is search deep in verticals like finding #devops node developers over 300 see picture in this link https://twitter.com/furrier/status/408384758993780736
furrier

John Furrier

Crowd Captain
all posts go to the hashtag node summit and this works for LinkedIn and soon Facebook; #hashtags unify the audience help create great targeted conversations
Crowd Captain
CrowdChat is discoverable try searching on Google #dataeconomy IBM chat form two weeks ago top result..when chat ends all of it is documented
John Furrier
notice the hyperlink has pull quotes to bring the twitter/linkedin users in from the "wild" with Twitter card. deep linking conversations; also voting is great bc top vote gets top slot/headline and CrowdCaptain statud
Crowd Captain this is like Reddit AMA on steroids, or town hall chats; or office hrs for professors..Great for the dorm room to the boardroom
John Furrier
if we get funding we will create better UI we have no UI guys yet on the team - only full stack devs.. user experience is very important for us
