Sifter

Sifter provides search and retrieve access to every undeleted Tweet in the history of Twitter. Users can submit three historical Twitter estimate requests per day using a variety of Gnip PowerTrack rules. When the query is done, Sifter generates an email estimating the approximate number of tweets responsive to the query and the cost to get access to the data via DiscoverText. Once the data is licensed by Texifter, we store the Tweets in a free trial Enterprise DiscoverText account where you can perform advanced text analytics to search, filter, cluster, code, and machine classify the data.

Visualization

sigma.js

Sigma is a JavaScript library dedicated to graph drawing. It makes it easy to publish networks on Web pages, and allows developers to integrate network exploration in rich Web applications. It is highly interactive and allows a researcher to extend their work from a dedicated graph analysis package such as Gephi and share it via the web to allow for communication of research outputs, while permitting viewers to explore and discover their own findings from the raw graph network.

Silk

Silk is a platform for sites that contain collections of information. It's like the Tumblr for websites that have structured content–like software reviews, information about designers, a site with UN datasets, and more. When you have created your site (manually or by uploading one or more datasets), you can visualize and filter your data in a few ways. You can create graphs if your pages contain numbers, maps if you have locations, and filtered tables for just about anything. These visualizations and tables are interactive: anyone can play around with the variables to get the answer they need from the data.
