Dragons Den Ireland twitter analysis – Week 1

patrick — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 00:14:41 +0000

This evening saw the first episode of the Irish version of Dragons Den on RTE. Like the Irish rugby games against France and Italy I’ve again created a play-by-play analysis of the reaction to the show live as people tweeted on twitter using the hashtag #ddire. People using twitter all used that hash tag to mark their comments and opinions and here’s how each segment of the show came across as a twoud (twitter cloud).

Click on the individual twoud images to see the larger versions.

Before the show

General chatter about the build up to the show in the days leading up

cleancash.com

The Dragons weren’t very keen on this idea and twitter reflected that straight away

Booze Berries

A good product and idea but a nervous pitch

Aqua Images

Something fishy about this one that confused people

Miscellaneous pitches

Cork Life and MumsTown.ie were not a hit

PedigreeCattle.ie

Good pitch by the farmers which drew a lot of cow puns…

“MooSpace”

“Cowzone.ie”

Steaks were raised and the guys came away with the first investment of the series

Post-show

The chat continues..

Ireland vs France rugby match twitter analysis

patrick — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:30:28 +0000

During the Ireland versus France RBS 6 nations rugby game a hash tag was used on twitter to mark everyone’s tweets about the match. The tag used was #merde (don’t blame me for that one..).

I did a bit of analysis on all the tweets, removed the hash tag and the @usernames and split the tweets into time segments. Then I plugged the text into Wordle to get a work cloud. I think the results are quite interesting to look at and they speak for themselves…
