Preview: Gnip Publisher Analytics

With everything going on here at Gnip we want to try and regularly preview some of the new features we are working on so people can send us feedback and plan ahead. One feature that we know a lot of people are interested in us delivering is usage and operational reporting and analytics. The reasons for adding an analytics dashboard are many and the primary reason is that we believe it will help companies and developers better understand the richness and variability of the data streams they care about.

Below is one example of the analytics features that we are planning to provide in the near future. This image shows the Digg Data Stream summary view with individual diggs, comments and submissions per second being streamed by the Gnip platform.

Obviously we could pivot on the summary view to show different types of details depending on any number of variables that Gnip partners and customers find interesting. If your company has specific requests for analytics and reporting please let us know.
