Abstract

Computer-implemented systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating a social media score comprising: receiving a request for a score of an asset from a client computing device; receiving a plurality of posts from one or more social media networks relating to the asset; identifying a sentiment of each post; identifying a reach of each post; storing an identification of the asset, the sentiment of the post, and the reach of the post in association with each post in a dataset; generating a score for the asset, the score being a function of the sentiment the posts relating to the asset, the reach of the posts relating to the asset, and a volume of posts relating to the asset; and transmitting the score to the client computing device for display in a user interface.

Claims

1. A method executed by one or more computing devices for generating a social media score comprising:

receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a request for a score of an asset from a client computing device;

receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a plurality of posts from one or more social media networks relating to the asset;

identifying, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a sentiment of each post;

identifying, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a reach of each post;

storing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, an identification of the asset, the sentiment of the post, and the reach of the post in association with each post in a dataset;

generating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a score for the asset, the score being a function of the sentiment the posts relating to the asset, the reach of the posts relating to the asset, and a volume of posts relating to the asset; and

transmitting, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the score to the client computing device for display in a user interface.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of generating the score includes:

calculating, for each post relating to the asset, a product of the sentiment of the post and the reach of the post; and

averaging the products of the sentiments of the posts relating to the asset.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of generating the score includes determining an assetscore according to the formula:

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting one of the posts and the sentiment of the post to a third party for validation;

receiving a validation indication from the third party;

adjusting the sentiment of the post in the dataset if the validation indication adjusts the sentiment; and

incrementing a validation identifier for the post if the validation indication does not adjust the sentiment.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising flagging the post as valid once the validation identifier has been incremented a threshold number of times for the post,

wherein the step of generating the score only utilizes posts flagged as valid.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting, to the client computing device, a page configured to cause the client computing device to;

transmit requests from the client computing device to the one or more social media networks;

receive the plurality of posts from the one or more social media networks;

normalize the plurality of posts; and

transmit to at least one of the one or more computing devices the plurality of posts.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the page is further configured to cause the client computing device to render in the user interface the plurality of posts.

12. The system of claim 1, the processor further configured to perform the step of flagging the post as valid once the validation identifier has been incremented a threshold number of times for the post,

wherein the step of generating the score only utilizes posts flagged as valid.

8. A system for generating a social media score comprising:

a memory; and

a processor operatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to perform the method;

receiving a request for a score of an asset from a client computing device;

receiving a plurality of posts from one or more social media networks relating to the asset;

identifying a sentiment of each post;

identifying a reach of each post;

storing an identification of the asset, the sentiment of the post, and the reach of the post in association with each post in a dataset;

generating a score for the asset, the score being a function of the sentiment the posts relating to the asset, the reach of the posts relating to the asset, and a volume of posts relating to the asset; and

transmitting the score to the client computing device for display in a user interface.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the step of generating the score includes:

calculating, for each post relating to the asset, a product of the sentiment of the post and the reach of the post; and

averaging the products of the sentiments of the posts relating to the asset.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the step of generating the score includes determining an assetscore according to the formula:

11. The system of claim 8, the processor further configured to perform the method:

transmitting one of the posts and the sentiment of the post to a third party for validation;

receiving a validation indication from the third party;

adjusting the sentiment of the post in the dataset if the validation indication adjusts the sentiment; and

incrementing a validation identifier for the post if the validation indication does not adjust the sentiment.

13. The system of claim 8, the processor further configured to perform the method:

transmitting, to the client computing device, a page configured to cause the client computing device to;

transmit requests from the client computing device to the one or more social media networks;

receive the plurality of posts from the one or more social media networks;

normalize the plurality of posts; and

transmit to at least one of the one or more computing devices the plurality of posts.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the page is further configured to cause the client computing device to render in the user interface the plurality of posts.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable code stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, performs a method for generating a social media score, the method comprising:

receiving a request for a score of an asset from a client computing device;

receiving a plurality of posts from one or more social media networks relating to the asset;

identifying a sentiment of each post;

identifying a reach of each post;

storing an identification of the asset, the sentiment of the post, and the reach of the post in association with each post in a dataset;

generating a score for the asset, the score being a function of the sentiment the posts relating to the asset, the reach of the posts relating to the asset, and a volume of posts relating to the asset; and

transmitting the score to the client computing device for display in a user interface.

16. The medium of claim 15, the method further comprising:

calculating, for each post relating to the asset, a product of the sentiment of the post and the reach of the post; and

averaging the products of the sentiments of the posts relating to the asset.

17. The medium of claim 16, wherein the step of generating the score includes determining an assetscore according to the formula:

18. The medium of claim 15, the method further comprising:

transmitting one of the posts and the sentiment of the post to a third party for validation;

receiving a validation indication from the third party;

adjusting the sentiment of the post in the dataset if the validation indication adjusts the sentiment; and

incrementing a validation identifier for the post if the validation indication does not adjust the sentiment.

19. The medium of claim 15, the method further comprising:

flagging the post as valid once the validation identifier has been incremented a threshold number of times for the post,

wherein the step of generating the score only utilizes posts flagged as valid.

20. The medium of claim 19, the method further comprising:

transmitting, to the client computing device, a page configured to cause the client computing device to;

transmit requests from the client computing device to the one or more social media networks;

receive the plurality of posts from the one or more social media networks;

normalize the plurality of posts; and

transmit to at least one of the one or more computing devices the plurality of posts,

wherein the page is further configured to cause the client computing device to render in the user interface the plurality of posts.
