I call it the power of positive scraping. You don't need no social listening engine. The correlation machinery is in your head.
There's a trick to summarizing a complex tweetstream in a blogpost. First, focus on one tweeter and/or one hashtag. Second, scrape it to doc

@ThreePillar #bigdata Sure. Do we know each other?
The Facebook experience. It's all about knowing people's birthdays whether you care or not--and feeling guilty when you don't care.
Even the best data/analytics, when consumed by some with an upset gut, may aggravate indigestion or worse. Healthy business cultures relax.
Quite surprised US govt CDC doesnt compile/update an essential healthcare datum such as incidence of MS. Lobby Congress and administration.
The more that medical science/practice gets data/analytics-drivn, the more likely "alt-med" will B pure gutfeel. Yoga puts me ahead of curve
You have to expect that, as medical science finds new pharma treatments for more ailments, treatment interactions might be nasty as any bug

@M_Ramanathan #IBMDataChat Any value in yr research w/ comparing human genome 2 those of other primates, 2 detect evolutionary correlation?
@M_Ramanathan #IBMdatachat Is the progression of MS age-related? In other words, can you find signs of its emergence from pre-natal onward?
RT @nancykoppdw: #ibmdatachat@shawndolley - federated data is a huge issue in healthcare, especially when mult-structured and so plentiful!

@tim_coetzee #ibmdatachat In a "prior life," I published excellent #IBM case study of biomed B2B research federation (http://bit.ly/KIGUJL)
@shawndolley #ibmdatachat Another thought: sheer complexity of interactions is conceptual+computational challenge for scientific analytics
@shawndolley #ibmdatachat Yes, I do Shawn. 1st thought is: #datascientist should work w/other scientists solving human problems (e.g., MS)
@M_Ramanathan How large of an analytical DB are U using for MS research modeling? How many servers? How many concurrent users? #ibmdatachat
@revodavid Any stats on the percentage of MS research community using #R ? #IBMdatachat
@M_Ramanathan If it's time-consuming & burdensome to take research 2 clinics & patients, should we provide slf-svc diagnostics? #ibmdatachat
@tim_coetzee Has MS being mis-diagnosed? Would better analytic-driven screening tools enable 2 reduce false pos & false negs? #ibmdatachat
@IBMbigdata @tim_coetzee Is fact we're seeing more kids w/MS a result o having better screening or is incidence really on rise? #ibmdatachat
@M_Ramanathan Which analytical methods are most promising 4 finding needle in haystack of interactions that contribute to MS? #ibmdatachat
@tim_coetzee @IBMbigdata Those numbers indicate US, with less than one-twentieth world pops, has one-fifth o MS incidence. Why? #ibmdatachat
@M_Ramanathan Are some environmental factors more significantly correlated with #multiplesclerosis ? #IBMdatachat
