Excerpt:
New Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has given a Justin-Bieber backed company her stamp of approval. In fact, Mayer liked it so much, she bought it—her very first acquisition since taking the reins in July. Yahoo purchased the mobile-app Stamped, which was founded in 2011 and is based in New York, for about $10 million. The purchase jibes with Mayer’s stated goal during the company’s third-quarter earnings call of becoming “a predominantly mobile company. †“At some point at least half our technical workforce should be working on mobile,†she said. Mayer verified the acquisition on Twitter with an Instagram photo from Stamped headquarters. “Got to visit our new acquisition, Stamped, this morning — happy to be reunited with Robby (@rmstein) and his team,†Mayer tweeted.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual’s overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual’s average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual’s consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
