With the World Triathlon Stockholm event having taken place over the weekend we decided to perform an analysis of the tweets surrounding the event to see if we could determine trends and sentiment or extract any other valuable information from the Twitter stream.

And then there was Cavitex… announcing it’s closure in February only to reopen following a Coinsetter acquisition.
