Watch this great Tableau Think Data Thursday and explore how to Make Social Media and Web Data Work For You with Tableau's own Alexander Ross. 
 
Web data, particularly social media data, is a goldmine of information - but not many people understand how to extract data from the web or how to actually analyse web data to make smarter data-driven decisions.
 
In this Think Data Thursday, Tableau Junkie, Alex Ross will show you that web data is more than just increasing the number of views, shares, likes, and followers. He’ll show you how a visual approach to analyzing web data provides in-depth understanding of how people are engaging with you online, allowing you to start exploring your data and answer questions at the speed of thought.
 
In this TDT, you'll learn how to:
 
Connect to Facebook and Twitter using Tableau’s Web Data Connector
Quickly explore your data to uncover hidden insights
Create beautiful dashboards that communicate your insights in effective and interactive ways
 
This session was recorded live May 19, 2016.
