For comparing all the social media analytics tools in the portal, tried to make the user interface understandable and user experience better. Using Google maps api, I displayed, geo-locations of the tweets from twitter on the map. Mainly worked on Twitter, along with flicker, youtube, google+, tumblr, reddit.Created a dashboard for News Feed related sources of information including RSS Feed and Blogs written on various platforms. Added filters for the timeline of the keywords and analysis of the data collected through different visualizations for better and easy understanding. Diving deep into d3 visualisations and big data tools, project was extended to create another similar tool to perform analysis on the data given by a government organisation to extract useful inferences.
