CNN is hosting a press event today to announce a partnership with Twitter and social analytics company Dataminr to launch a new tool called Dataminr For News.
Dataminr CEO Ted Bailey said the goal is to “alert journalists to information that’s emerging on Twitter on real-time.” Basically, the technology looks at tweets and finds patterns that can reveal breaking news when it’s still in its “infancy”. Those alerts can be delivered in a desktop application, via email, via mobile alerts, via pop-up alerts, and more.
The program, which was piloted with CNN, isn’t just for alerts, Bailey added. He said there’s a set of analytics that helps users see things like who broke the news and what kind of source they are.
Bailey said Dataminr for News will be available sometime this year.
