DataSift is a Java data validation and transformation framework conceived to be as flexible and adaptable to any situation as possible by building on a highly modular, plugin-based architecture.
DataSift was founded by Nick Halstead to help organizations improve their understanding and use of Social Media. DataSift is focused on producing state-of-the-art data-filtering technology and driving innovation in Big Data. DataSift started its life as an offshoot from TweetMeme, the highly popular Twitter news feed service. After witnessing how quickly Social Media impacted organizations, Nick Halstead set out to create a platform to help companies manage Social Media and capitalize on the insights to be found within the data.
Our vision is that all organizations will make the use of Social Media data integral to their planning and decision-making processes. Members of organizations at all levels will have access to easy-to-use tools for capturing, analyzing and acting on real-time social data. For this to happen, Social Media data needs to be affordable and easy to use.
At DataSift, we are passionate about the endless opportunities presented by Social and Big Data. Our team are avid users of Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Wordpress and other Social Media services. We love helping organizations get a better understanding of how Social Media data can be used to achieve business objectives. Having offices in two countries essentially means we are working 24 hours a day to help our customers find new uses for Social Media.
