This document provides an overview of social media monitoring and analytics tools, using Replise as an example. It discusses how to track social media and analyze conversations. The document then focuses on a case study of the Samsung vs. Apple patent trial, analyzing sentiment toward the brands in Hungarian news and consumer opinions before and after the verdict. While Apple won the legal case, the analysis found consumer sentiment turned slightly more negative toward Apple afterwards.

3. SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING
Social media is the mixture of channels (social networks,
forums, blogs, Twitter, video sharing sites) and the user
activity based on user generated content that is created and
shared outside the traditional media channels.
It can be measured and brands can have an influence on their
social media presence – not only on their owned channels.

8. REPLISE TECHNOLOGY
Local focus: We can handle not only general keywords but also synonyms,
inflected forms, misspelled words unlike great international providers’ tools.
Right now we have three local tools: Hungarian, Polish and German.
World class technology: We do not collect data via APIs as other vendors
but develop own search engines and collect data from the past, too. (“We
reindex and store the internet.”) Data can be visualized in the software in a
dynamic way, you don’t need other special analytical tools. If you want to add
our graphs to presentations, you can easily export them.
Broadest coverage: Compared to international vendors’ tools we have much
more relevant results. Millions of results arrive a day, most of them near real-
time.
Clear database: There is a constant pursuit and development on keeping our
results clear and relevant.
Historical data: For any request we can give data from the past, too (back to
mid-2010).

Samsung spends considerably more than Apple and Microsoft.
They spend more than Coca Cola.
10. SAMSUNG’S EFFORTS IN SOCIAL SPACE
Social media is extremely
important for Samsung.
Samsung uses social media monitoring data on each market where they
are present. The company is one of our most significant clients.
We send them daily reports with processed data: tagging and sentiment
analysis is required, it is done via manual processing.
Our data are sent to their HQ for further analysis.
Samsung has plans to open a new social networking service in 2013:
»Samsung is planning its own Facebook-like service to debut early next year. The Korea Times cites a Samsung
official who says the company hopes to launch its social networking service to compete with Facebook, available on a
variety of internet-enabled devices — including cameras, televisions and Blu-ray players. The publication says
Samsung's internal name for its project is "Samsung Facebook."
Samsung's social network is believed to built on top of Amazon's cloud computing platform, and a company official
confirmed to The Korea Times that the new service "will become available in the first quarter of next year at the
earliest," adding that the goal is to expand Samsung's "social media service across different devices from different
companies across different mobile platforms."«

12. IPHONE UNIVERSE vs. SAMSUNG GALAXY
Apple Samsung
- ‘It just works’ is not a valid slogan today - copying strategy
- is not so sexy anymore: - have more product launches than Apple
- competitors caught up them - they are the biggest supplier of Apple
- failures (e.g. Maps) - more Galaxy sales than iPhone: became market leader
- lack of real innovation (iPhone 5, iPad Mini) - customers are satisfied with their products
- “arrogance” - in design there is still a lot to learn
- lack of Steve Jobs
Galaxy is the leading smartphone in the US
In December 2012 more LG cellphones were sold than iPhones (it is not
clear if LG data covers only Optimus series or Google’s Nexus mobiles, too)
