Tweetvisor is one of the users of ContextVoice API. Today we asked Nelu, the developer of Tweetvisor, a few questions about his product, Context Voice and live in general.

Who are you and what do you do for a living?

I am Nelu Lazar, a Romanian living in the US. During regular business hours I am an Electrical Project Engineer, leading remotely an off-shore Romanian team in Brasov to design high performance electronic equipment for large off-highway trucks, locomotives, power generators. Evenings and nights I am a dad of two, a husband, an entrepreneur, a web developer and a social media and networking enthusiast. Traveler, soccer player, musician, biker and more, the rest of the time.

What is Tweetvisor?

Tweetvisor slightly deviated from its original purpose, shaping now more as a web-based interface that extends Twitter’s meaning. It basically is a fully-featured Ajax-powered Twitter client running in The Cloud. Some of its features:

How did you find about ContextVoice?

Even though I live far away from my country, I am watching very closely everything that is happening in Romanian online space. I’ve started light personal web projects since late ’90s, when “Transylvania” University’s leda.unitbv.ro and zzn.com hosting service were some accessible tools to play with HTML, but I am more involved in Romanian networking since 2006 when blogs and other social web tools began to be embraced in Romania as well. So this way I’ve initially heard about uberVU and its ascendant path to becoming a very good tool that builds the conversational graph around web comments, reactions and mentions world wide. Recently there was a discussion opened with uberVU and ContextVoice’s founder Vladimir Oane about integrating their API into Tweetvisor’s tweets timelines and the feed reader.

What do you use the ContextVoice API for?

Tweetvisor - Context Voice integration

Thousands of links are being shared every day on Twitter. There is definitely a lot of noise out there, but you’d still like to find out the latest good news and articles, or what people are talking about your brand, company or your blog articles. As a solution to this trend, Tweetvisor is now displaying world wide reactions to any URL shared on Twitter and listed with the web-based application, via newly launched ContextVoice service. Tweetvisor’s integrated Feed Reader also displays ContextVoice’s world wide reactions for every blog posts.

What do you find most exciting about ContextVoice?

ContextVoice makes a very easy task out of tracking comments and reactions for any article URL across the Internet. You can see how your links or keywords are shared, propagated and commented on many web platforms. ContextVoice API is a good tool for personal research, but it is an even powerful tool for brands, companies and organizations that really needs to keep a close eye on what their customers have to say about their business activity or, say, newly launched products.

Is there something we must do to make you happier?

I’ve just implemented the API, and ContextVoice is doing a very good job on Tweetvisor, the integration performs smoothly. There will be a monitoring timeframe for the next few weeks, to observe how Twitter users are following world wide conversations for URLs shared on every tweets. For the near future I am opened to increasing implementation’s capabilities by adding more features that will help people track web reactions they’re interested in.

Final words?

I am very happy ContextVoice and Tweetvisor managed to cooperate very well to accomplish this integration. We both hope people will find these tools helpful for their daily-basis tweeting needs.
