Edward_2 85 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 its a fine idea.... Search keywords in google for... "riot"... ect. scrape... here is an article that might clarify. another "out of the box" idea http://tech.slashdot.org/story/15/04/30/2023256/can-riots-be-predicted-by-social-media 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sentdex may be able to do it he/they already use social media and sentiment text analysis to predict things like stock market changes, it's pretty interesting stuff: http://sentdex.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edward_2 85 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 That would be something... The logic is there... predicting stocks via automation. would it be legal though... lol I like this one from sentdex http://sentdex.com/political-analysis/ politics War sentiment Analysis.

Edward_2 85 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Actually this post was more of a question. How feasible would this line of bots be? If one was to run with that thought we could come up with some next generation of bots. ie... election predicting bots (monitor popular news sites cnn, huf post ect... ) lol murder predicting bots... (find the most hated person in... $variable) lol your death predicting bot... (monitor popular health sites for statistics... parse and feed to your profile) Stock predicting bot... (to build this puppy you would have to have a good working knowledge of stocks... or just make a good working relationship with someone who does) riot predictions... Its all really just scraping and filtering... maybe in massive amounts but... I would imagine you may want an API from google or? for better results... make it an option in your bot? of course all these bots results would be unique to the user inputs. I'll bet your biggest source of sales would have a .gov email. ... When it comes to marketing... run with that thought. just thinking outside that damb box... my mind wanders... maybe in 10 years this post wont seem so ludicrous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I can't imagine its very feasible in Ubot because you can't rely on libraries other make. But in general I'm sure it's all possible to some degree if you can get the data. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
