7. Analyzing topics in the Data Viewer
Each topic in your dashboard can be analyzed in the data viewer, giving you insight into what the world
thinks about that specific topic. You can explore topic information by region, gender, demographic and
time dimensions, as well as see verbatim information from comments.
Select region, time- Global Swipp
frame or gender - statistics
click “results” to

8. Deleting topics from the Dashboard
Deleting a topic will remove the topic from your dashboard. Note that topics live forever in the Swipp
ecosystem, this delete action only removes it from your dashboard. The swipps and global swipp data
are not deleted.
If you want to delete a topic from
the control panel, click the trash
can that pops up when you hover
over a topic row.

9. Widgets in the Wordpress sidebar
Putting a widget in the sidebar of a Wordpress blog is very straightforward. From your Wordpress
admin page, go to Appearance > Widgets, and place a Text widget in your sidebar. Then, paste the
widget code into the body of that Text widget and click “Save.”

10. Putting widgets into Wordpress posts
Putting a widget in a Wordpress post is straightforward, with one catch...you need to be in “Text”
mode for this to work. While editing your post in “Text” mode, paste the widget code directly into
the body of your post and hit “Save.”
NOTE: Wordpress
automatically strips
any widget code
from a post if you
switch from “Text” to
“Visual” mode.
This is a Wordpress
“feature,” and not a
Swipp constraint.

11. Putting widgets in the Blogger sidebar
Putting a widget in your Blogger sidebar requires adding an HTML/JavaScript gadget to your sidebar
in the Layout editor, and then pasting the widget code into the “content” area of the gadget.
After placing the
gadget in your
sidebar, edit the
gadget and paste
the widget code
Click “Layout”
into content area
Choose HTML
gadget

12. Putting widgets in Blogger posts
Putting a widget in a Blogger post is crazy-simple. Just paste the widget code into the body of your
post in “HTML” mode and save the post.

13. Other websites and platforms
Widgets can be placed into nearly any type of website, from blogging platforms to content
management systems to hand-crafted sites. If you come up with any great examples of innovative
places you’ve integrated widgets, we’d love to hear about them! Email us at business@swipp.com.

14. A few Swipp Plus use cases
Swipp is a distributed platform. If you’ve used the Swipp website at swipp.com or used the Swipp iPhone
app, you’ve touched on two “end-user” entry points into the Swipp universe.
We believe social intelligence will be everywhere. Swipp Plus provides additional types of on-ramps into
this collective stream. For example, Swipp Widgets can be embedded into nearly any kind of website:
blogs, commerce sites and even maps.
