BOULDER, CO — (Marketwired) — 10/24/13 — , the world-s largest and most trusted provider of social data, today announced the creation of the first ever Certified Products Program for Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, with Networked Insights and mBlast named as the first members.
The Automattic Certified Products Program was initiated to highlight companies that are showcasing the unique value that comprehensive coverage of Automattic data brings to their brand customers. Only companies that receive their Automattic data via Gnip-s firehose access can be assured that they are receiving Terms of Service-compliant, full-fidelity data of the kind needed to power enterprise applications.
The full stream of data from Automattic represents more than 430,000 WordPress.com posts per day, more than 500,000 WordPress.org posts per day and more than 225,000 WordPress.com comments per day.
Networked Insights and mBlast were selected as the first members because their robust products provide access to the full firehose of WordPress content, which is essential in helping their customers understand how their brand and industry is being talked about in blog posts and comments.
“We asked Gnip to run this program because they have a unique understanding of the social data ecosystem and can provide the broadest distribution of our data,” said Paul Maiorana, VP of Platform Services at Automattic.
“If you-re a brand looking for social media analytics, you deserve to know that you-re receiving complete, reliable data from the social media publisher and that the data isn-t being scraped,” said Chris Moody, CEO of Gnip. “Automattic-s Certified Products Program brings transparency to the market on who is getting data from the source.”
“Having the entire firehose of Automattic data allows us to help our customers figure out where discussions about their brands are happening, often leading us to unexpected places,” said Mark Hatch, CEO of mBlast. “By not scraping specific URLs, we create a complete picture for our customers about how people are talking about their brands online.”
“Long-form content allows for a much deeper analysis of consumer conversations, and this analysis allows Networked Insights customers much greater insight into the consumer purchasing cycle. Being part of Automattic-s Certified Products Program ensures to our customers that we-re providing them with the best analysis possible.”
