All this belongs to the owners of social networks. All this lies "there", and we are "here" with you. How can we keep everything we write and publish on social networks on an ongoing basis so that it would be easy to search, do analysis and just be calm that the data is under control?
The new ThinkUp product, which is distributed with open source and a free license (since it was created by a non-loyal organization), allows you to take these information flows under control and start putting them in a place that you can personally trust.
