We spend hours, days and years on social networks for work and entertainment. We write posts and respond, gather our circle of friends and readers, and all this does not belong to us. All this belongs to the owners of social networks. All this lies "there", and we are "here" with you. How can we keep everything we write and publish on social networks on an ongoing basis so that it would be easy to search, do analysis and just be calm that the data is under control?
The new ThinkUp product, which is distributed with open source and a free license (since it was created by a non-loyal organization), allows you to take these information flows under control and start putting them in a place that you can personally trust.
ThinkUp is nothing but a PHP application that needs to be installed on your hosting. The complexity of such an installation is commensurate with the installation of WordPress. After installation, which is prescribed in the detailed documentation, you need to connect the script to your Twitter and Facebook accounts*. The data collected by the script is available not only for internal use. You can open them out and make some kind of copy of your Twitter or Facebook*.
