How is eCairn Conversation™ different from other tools?

We focus on the people who matter in social communities. When you decide to engage with influencers, eCairn Conversation™ helps you limit you time and energy to relevant conversations to your business. Based on eCairn's patent-pending technology for social media mining and analytics, eCairn Conversation(tm) stands out with the following differentiators:

• Less noise: our application works to eliminate irrelevant information
• Ability to interact and engage with the most influential people in your social communities
• Immediate and comprehensive understanding of what topics influencers and communities talk about
• Instant visibility and opportunities to build consistent, long-term relationships with your communities
• Identify accessible communities and with whom communications will be productive to your marketing goals
• Segment your efforts so that the right employees are speaking to communities they can manage
• Measure the effectiveness of your campaigns on an influencer per influencer basis

What is the Text Mining feature about?

The Text Mining feature exposes a list of the most frequent expressions found in the conversations you have identified as relevant in the application. It allows you to select some or all of these expressions and produce a word cloud, i.e. a visual representation of those conversations. See this Text Mining example (technology partner: Wordle).

What is the Community Mapping feature about?

Social network analysis is the technique to understand the interconnectedness of a group of people. The eCairn Conversation™ map view feature enables you to visualize the network of your community (or a subset of it). It will show you clusters (sub-groups that are more tightly connected together) and you can overlay them with topic mention (or brand mention). Thus you will be able to understand how the different clusters are connected in more detail. See this Community Mapping example.
