CrisisVu makes Twitter the ultimate exit poll

London, 6th November 2012 - CrisisVu, a new social intelligence and monitoring platform that provides instant clarity and understanding of the Twitterverse plans to announce the winner of the US Election by using Twitter as the ultimate exit poll.

CrisisVu has launched to coincide with election day in the USA, CrisisVu monitors Twitter using a state of the art, visually intuitive presentation or ‘Vu’ that delivers a live bird’s eye view of the Twitterverse as it impacts your brand, issue or chosen topic. CrisisVu will host a live ‘Vu’ of the US election race on their website and will call the winner of the election as it goes down to the wire.

“When fast moving news events break in the Twitterverse, the now commonplace flood of tweets can overwhelm traditional monitoring tools - just when a bird’s eye view of the situation and absolute clarity is needed to allow you to respond in real time,” explained Nick Sharples, founder and CEO. “So we built CrisisVu to deliver just that – a visually intuitive, live and interactive overview of the Twitterverse as it impacts what is important to you, delivered instantaneously to your browser.”

A short video explains how the CrisisVu platform is used to filter, curate and visualise the best of the social web, but one of the most engaging and compelling features of CrisisVu is the interactive live ‘Vu’ that the site will host. Regularly updated to show breaking news or topical and trending issues, the ‘Vu’ allows any visitor to the site to view and explore the Twitter buzz around the topic being monitored.

Users can submit their own requests for the ‘Vu’ to watch particular issues by engaging on Twitter or by commenting on the CrisisVu blog.
