Thank you for coming back to read more about the ‘SAP Cloud for Social Media Analytics by NetBase’ software, using Australia’s sentiment towards the Federal Election on 7 September as an example of how the real-time dashboard that this software creates can be used as an important tool for businesses.
This is the second blog in a planned series as we move towards the election on 7 September, and then when the results are announced. Here is the link to last week’s blog, in case you missed it: http://bit.ly/1cW671n. 1/9, I have now also posted Part 3: http://bit.ly/1cuKRfe. 5/9, Part 4: http://bit.ly/17GOz2v. 9/9, Part 5: http://bit.ly/18OWbz5.
Please note that screen grabs of data extracted from the dashboard are used in these blogs. The real-time dashboard is far more comprehensive.
The past week has gone by quickly and there have been some interesting changes in the sentiment of the Australian community to the upcoming Federal Election that illustrate just how essential it is for businesses to keep a close eye on their target markets when launching a campaign or building a brand to create a sustainable competitive advantage.
Looking at the ‘SAP Cloud for Social Media Analytics by NetBase’ dashboard closely during the second leaders’ debate held in Brisbane on 21 August, we can see that Tony Abbott gained considerable positive sentiment while Kevin Rudd’s stayed much the same:

Tony Abbott:
With the week looking like this:
The software dashboard tells us the volume of data that has been collected in the past week, the overall feeling/sentiment towards the candidate and how passionate people are when they mention either Kevin Rudd or Tony Abbott in Social Media (18.8.13-25.8.13):
Posts | Mentions | Impressions | Net sentiment | Passion Intensity | |
Tony Abbott | 35,801 | 38,734 | 83,517,326 | -6% | 14 |
Kevin Rudd | 36,806 | 42,094 | 100,062,168 | -16% | 0 |
Compared to the results published in last week’s blog (13.8.13-20.8.13):
Posts | Mentions | Impressions | Net sentiment | Passion Intensity | |
Tony Abbott | 44,278 | 49,228 | 87,988,650 | -20% | 39 |
Kevin Rudd | 24,138 | 28,890 | 66,705,516 | -15% | 15 |
This comparative data indicates a very positive result for Tony Abbott, with ‘Net Sentiment’ increasing from -20 to -6. Plus, more people are talking about Kevin Rudd but in a less passionate way, dropping from 15 to 0 in ‘Passion Intensity’ over the week.
Another great tool on the dashboard is the ability to see where people are talking about a particular topic in Social Media, which helps to identify where media efforts should be focused. Note: this is also be split by gender and specific domain names on the real-time dashboard:
