How do you measure the sentiment of millions of webpages?

www.brandwatch.net

Crowdsource ?

www.brandwatch.net | 12

Downsides to crowdsourcing

•Slow

•Inconsistent

•Expensive

e.g. Article takes 2 minutes so 30 articles per hour

You need native speakers, so £6/hr

=> Article costs £0.2 to read

10,000 articles * £0.2 = £2,000

(Twitter is cheaper)

Machines ?

Q: Can we reliably get a machine to do sentiment analysis ?

A: Kind of

Q: How ?

A: You teach it to mimic your own behaviour using a branch of Artificial Intelligence called Machine Learning

BSkyB has struck a deal with Apple to launch its mobile TV service providing live access to sport including Premier League football matches on the iPhone.

From today the service, Sky Mobile TV, will be made available to iPhone and iPod Touch owners via a new application at the Apple App Store.

The application allows iPhone owners to stream live TV – via a Wi-Fi connection – from a selection of channels including the Sky Sports portfolio, Sky Sports News, ESPN, At The Races and Sky News. The sports and news package will cost phone owners £6 a month.

Sky's mobile TV service allows iPhone owners to access live televised matches from the Barclays Premier League, Scottish Premier League and Football League, as well as sport such as European Tour golf, Premiership rugby and international and domestic cricket.

The application is free to download and is being made available to all iPhone owners regardless of which mobile network they are signed to.

Sky Mobile TV is already available, for £5 a month, on the 3G networks of Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile.

In the past year BSkyB has launched a number of applications in the Apple App Store, for football, cricket and news updates, and claims more than 2m downloads so far.

"In less than a year we've already seen millions of downloads of Sky's various iPhone apps," said David Gibbs, the general manager for mobile at Sky. "Now, by launching our new Sky Mobile TV app, we are able to combine the demand for great live TV on the move with the quality of experience offered through the iPhone and iTouch."

As part of the launch of the service mobile network operator O2 is giving its iPhone customer base three months' free subscription to Sky Mobile TV.
