I agree, especially for chain stores or those matching a particular brand name. A first step might be to be stricter on allowing tweets which are geolocated only very close to such places, but even then mistakes will occur.

Spymaster is actually a shop in London, but obviously the tweets were not to do with that. A closer analysis of the tweets is needed to stop false positives like these, but we haven’t got round to doing this yet.

“Funny…my cell phone on vibrate gives me all the tremors and vibrations I’ll ever need.”

Really comical…..

Nice to know there will be more gadgets coming up for twitter, hopes it helps us find information in a short time

Can you fit a Graboid in an iPhone. What happens if it escapes while the phone is in your front pocket?

This is interesting. I would like to bring to your attention that with recent advances in technology a whole new way of analyzing relevant data to any user need has now become possible. Perhaps the best illustration of this interesting phenomena is the product TipTop that was launched just last week at http://www.feeltiptop.com TipTop magically organizes the relevant results (for now, from Twitter) for any user query along a variety of interesting dimensions. A whole new perspective is provided of what users in the individual and in the aggregate are thinking and doing. Perhaps TipTop will help you detect better the “tremor” about a place! I would encourage everyone to give it a spin.

It needs A LOT of work. It thinks #spymaster is a place.

I think this is an awesome idea but the data is really tough to parse until Twitter adds a lat/long to each tweet. There will be lots of false positives.

For instance, Jimmy Choo is #1 in England right now because people are tweeting about H&M planning to sell Jimmy Choo bags and shoes. They aren’t tweeting about the actual store. Here’s the twitter search result: http://unhub.com/9k8Y

I first read this as “Truemors” and my first thought was FAIL.
