Samepoint, LLC is a social media API aggregation and monitoring company headquartered in New York City. As of September 2015, its website described it as being "in a rethink mode".[1]
Samepoint provided data from thousands of social media websites via one API. These social media sources included, but were not limited to Facebook, Twitter, blogs and Internet forums. The API also included sentiment, analyzing whether a comment is positive or negative based on natural language processing. The company launched a free social media monitoring search engine in 2009. The Samepoint Search Engine is referenced in over 35 books.
History
