Watch Out, The Fed Might Be Reading Your Tweets

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, has announced a social media plan that would include keyword and sentiment analysis on Twitter. So if you’re badmouthing their money-management skills, they might just tune into your feed.

A “Request for Proposal” from the Fed was uncovered recently which apparently seeks a service-provider interested in coming up with some pretty serious analytical tools for the bank to use on social networks.

Specifically, they’re looking for a business that can provide them with a “Sentiment Analysis And Social Media Monitoring Solution” which will “identify and reach out to key bloggers and influencers” as well as continuously monitor all conversations related to the Fed online.
