Morningside Analytics

About Morningside Analytics

Morningside Analytics was founded in New York City in 2007.

M.A.’s methods draw on social network analysis to which we add innovative statistical techniques and data modeling to uncover Attentive Clusters—communities, large or small—that share knowledge and focus attention on particular sources of information and opinion.

We take you far beyond “hits” or “page views,” uncovering who is listening to whom, why they are interested, and how ideas move among and between different audiences—even how messages are framed and reframed as they travel online.

(Please do not confuse social network analysis with social networking websites like MySpace or Facebook!)
