Sentiment analysis of online social networks, such as Twitter, is a rapidly growing research area with an increasing number of applications such as: informing disaster response; tracking spread of contagious disease; early forecast of civil unrest.

Gary Crawford
Senior Developer
I discovered Clojure while researching technologies for developing a biomedical image analytics platform and was quickly captured by its clean, concise, expressive ways. I'm now fortunate enough to work with Clojure Monday to Friday, but still manage to sneak it into extra-curricular projects at any opportunity. I'm a senior consultant with ThoughtWorks based in Sunny Scotland.
