App Aggregates Social Media Posts By Time and Place

Wow. Above the Law has a writeup on a new app that pulls together social media from specific times and places. “What is Trial Drone, you ask? Essentially, it’s a social media aggregator. Pick a location, say Boston, and a date, say April 15, 2013, and Trial Drone will cull through the universe of social media to find all the social media messages that occurred in Boston on that date…. In addition to time-frame and location searches, the user can also conduct key word searches. Thus, the user could search ‘Boston Bombings’ and ‘eyewitness’ to see if anyone posted to social media outside of the location/time-frame search parameters.”
