About this Unit
The Social Web provides everyone with a voice, information from Facebook, Twitter and Google+ should allow us to identify trends and relationships in society. Whilst this has interest on a personal level, the killer-apps will be in analysing such data for business; tracking the buzz around a new product, understanding the links between customers etc. This unit will introduce its students to the Social Web data that is available, and blend computational, mathematical and statistical concepts to allow extraction and analysis of such data.
