Twitter收购大数据分析公司Luchy Sort 后者服务将关闭

北京时间5月14日消息，据国外媒体报道，Twitter今天宣布收购了大数据创业公司Lucky Sort。Twitter希望Lucky Sort有助于它更好地理解如何通过用户每年发布的数十亿条消息创收。

Lucky Sort首席执行官诺亚·佩珀(Noah Pepper)发表博文称，该公司的“目标是，通过开发用户友好的文本分析工具，使大型文档更易于分析、更形象”。

Twitter或Lucky Sort均未披露有关整合两家公司业务的计划。佩珀在博文中称，Lucky Sort团队数名成员将移师旧金山，加盟Twitter的创收技术团队。

了解用户行为、提高广告针对性的能力提高了Twitter的盈利能力。鉴于佩珀在博文中称“未来数月我们将帮助客户换用其他系统，以便我们专注于Twitter的项目”，他及其团队的工作将是帮助Twitter更好地利用用户每年发布的数十亿条消息。

Lucky Sort也可能开发新工具，使Twitter用户——例如大型广告客户，更好地了解他们的用户使用Twitter的方式。

最近数月，Twitter已经收购了多家公司，填补公司在产品方面的不足，其中包括开发了Twitter Music应用的We Are Hunted、社交电视分析创业公司Bluefin Labs、宕机报告服务Crashlytics。

Lucky Sort acquired by Twitter!   Two years ago I started Lucky Sort with several friends. Our goal was to make huge document sets easier to analyze, summarize and visualize by building elegant and user friendly tools for text analysis.   Today I’m very excited to announce that our journey has entered a new phase: Lucky Sort has been acquired by Twitter!   Several of us will be moving to San Francisco to join Twitter’s revenue engineering department, so if you’re in the neighborhood and want to talk about text mining or data visualization give us a shout.   We’ll be helping current customers transition off our system in the coming months such that we can focus fully on our future at Twitter.   In building Lucky Sort we had an enormous amount of support from friends, employees, advisors and investors. It has been uplifting to have so many people help us and it highlighted just how much business is a social endeavour.   Best,   Noah Pepper Chief Executive Officer
