I'll include in our Twitter social data harvest. As for analysis. It's hard to extract a complete picture of sentiment without correlating the various words in some context. I viewed the word cloud in my iPhone, so I could only read some terms - good filter. Observation: there is much chatter about alternatives and the incumbents. Insight: this presents a paradox, as some feel AOO should establish it's own identity, while others are focused on relativism - our ability to support users migrating from other tools, provide feature parity and support the ability for users to leverage their existing knowledge. Moving forward our design direction will to continue to be mindful of both paths. Observation: the predominance of brand over feature/fuction chatter Insight: Brand matters. People are emotionally attached to their office suite. Observation: Writer and paperback are prediminat tool-oriented references. Insight: Document editor is most important to people in the twitter sphere. Not overly deep, just some impressions. What do others see?
