New Feature: Exporting to Excel

We added a bunch of new features to Spark last week. One of them in particular stands out to me. Now, you can export the complete Node lists (by category) to Excel.

Click on the little icon under Insight Analytics and it will automatically export the data in an Excel file to your machine.

Once you’ve exported to Excel, you can open the file and see a complete list of Nodes for that category. In this case, I chose “blogs.”

The Excel file gives you all the same data from the Insight Analytics category listings in a format that is easily shared with others.

Engage with us to learn more about this and other features.

Holiday Festival: Phase 2 (the par-tay)

Despite some icky weather in KC, the Spiral16 crew spent a few hours at Lucky Strike Lanes hanging out, eating and being merry on Thursday night. I threw together a short pic/video blog!

(Observe Justin trying to bowl on crutches. It brings the LOLs.)

Happy holidays!

The coffee mugs. We drink a lot of caffeine here. Why not have vessels for transporting it?

PopCandy Love!

I recently threw an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party with some friends. Proceeds went to local organization Operation Breakthrough.

On a co-worker’s suggestion, I submitted some pics to the USA Today PopCandy blog…

AND WE GOT PUBLISHED!

Check it out here.

New ways to sort semantics

Our tech team is constantly rolling out improvements and upgrades to our software, Spark. We recently added a feature that’s especially useful.

Now, you can apply different filters to the Semantic Cloud. One of my favorite options is the Filter by Site Type.

For example, say you only want to see the top 100 words used on social networking Nodes (conversational sites like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter).

Select the Social Network filter and you get a new cloud. Notice the differences between the images below? The one on the left has no filters and the one on the right is just social networks.

This gives you a better idea of the words your audience is actually using to discuss a topic by filtering out corporate and news language.

Happy Birthday, Phil!

Happy birthday, Phil!!!!!

Wednesday was Phil P.’s birthday, so the company gathered in the conference room to do a few things:

1) Sing happy birthday

2) Eat some cake

3) Make fun of Phil for being French (no, it won’t ever be not funny)

Though the post is belated, here are a few pics and a video.
