Social media is important in terms of both quality and quantity in order to listen to the opinions of customers, so the need for analysis of social media is growing year by year.
Have a real-time nature (= immediacy)
In particular, twitter is very real-time, and when a bug occurs, or when there is positive news about a product, or when a product appears in a news or commercial, the topic can spread quickly. For this reason, companies need to keep an eye on twitter tweets so that they don’t miss the voices of consumers.
