With ReSearch.ly, your company can search a name, company, competitor or a product and immediately discover what people are saying about that subject, exactly who's saying it, and then break it down by sex, location or even how the site users carrying on the conversation are related.
It determines what people are tweeting about a brand or company, and then turns those comments charts and maps that show trends and sentiments.
