GEO-marketing just getting started, and local businesses are feeling their way around how best to use a service like Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook or even Twitter. It is rather difficult when you only have one store. For chains and national retailer Office immodestly discounts for 400 stores is a nightmare. MomentFeed is trying to bring some order and intelligence this chaos with location-based marketing dashboard aimed at businesses with more than one place.

La-based startup just raised $ 1.2 million seed round from DFJ frontier, DFJ JAIC, the actual founder Gil Elbaz and Rapleaf founder Auren Hoffman and Walter Kortschak.

MomentFeed pulls in trade location data from Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and Gowalla and gives retailers a unified view of all check-ins, and special programs throughout the country of their location. (He also built the actual location of the data, which helps coordinate the ground between services). One dashboard, retail trade, as 7-Eleven or a chain of fast food, you can see that the largest possible number of people checking in with Foursquare in New York, but with Facebook places in the West and adjust their orientation, respectively.

We spent several years in the era of real-time data. All production and consumption, but there is still a great need for filtering. For this reason, mark Suster of GRP partners, doubling down on Twitter by investing in DataSift, one of the two companies with re-syndicate Twitter firehose from more than 200 million Tweets per day (another GNIP). GRP and IA ventures invest $ 6 million in DataSift.

DataSift was born out of Tweetmeme and launched at TechCrunch disrupt SF last year. It provides full firehose Twitter in an environment that can be mined, cut, analyzed and mashing up with other real-time flows such as Klout, PeerIndex, Facebook, WordPress and others.

Rate, which DataSift the investors make Twitter not to enter this data Syndication market itself and take it away, as was the case with Twitter clients. DataSift has a long-term contract with Twitter, but this does not guarantee Twitter not to repeat any of the services which it considers particularly profitable. On the other hand, if the DataSift does this work, it may become a target acquisition for Twitter.

DataSift tries to create a framework for real-time data mining and Business Analytics business. He saw no opportunity for products based on DataSift for financial services (real time investment signals), marketing (sentiment analysis and influence of trees), health (looking for early signs of pandemics and other outbreaks), political campaigns, (voter sentiment tracking), TV (realtime feedback and monitoring social media) and news (Breaking records). DataSift does not build any of these products myself, but rather sell data to others.

If you want to see the little app based on the DataSift fun, check the DataSift invaders Game Space Invaders which shows Twitter avatar every time someone tweets @ DSInvader. He then shoots o avatars through their Klout score.

DataSift solves the problem for developers and companies where they want to easily aggregate and filter content from Twitter, but don't have the server resources.
