What can RTreporter do?
At this moment RTreporter is able to filter newsworthy tweets and present them to the target audience: journalists. I wrote this article on Sunday evening, not the most newsworthy evening of the week. Another day or another time would have yielded completely different examples, perhaps I would have found a 'scoop' and the examples would have been more appealing.
The practice
The annoying thing is that it goes very fast. Fortunately, that has been taken into account. By clicking on the 'X-sign' in a cluster block, you can hide it (or bring it back), this gives some peace on the screen.

More interesting is the possibility to rewind Twitter. Because RTreporter saves all tweets, you can rewind the developments. However, it is not possible to click through to the screen with the graph, which is at the current time.

. But while using it, you also see what poland mobile phone number list can be improved. The tweet below wrongly surfaced on Sunday, while there is nothing newsworthy about it. Someone is simply looking for a media trainer, who specializes in crisis communication in the north of the country. This is due to the use of keywords such as 'crisis' and 'country'.
crisis
If you analyze the sentence, you understand that this tweet is not about a crisis, but about a crisis manager who is also wanted (not by the police but by someone who wants to hire him). This is a nice illustration of the challenge RTreporter faces, being able to analyze language well and knowledge of semantics . Brand is not only fire, but also a beer brand. RTreporter will be working on such matters in the coming year, with the aim of making the tool even better and more useful for journalists.
My demo version had limited functionality, dashboards were set up for News, Politics and Sports. With the 'real' version you can create custom dashboards with which you can only follow topics that are important to you. For example about affairs in the region of The Hague, or only politics. This creates a stronger focus, this reduces the noise of all the irrelevant tweets.
Potential
RTreporter has the potential to develop into a valuable journalistic tool. The challenge lies in incorporating language analysis into the tool, in order to better separate the wheat from the chaff. This challenge is great because language seems simple, but is very complex.
