What are the underlying content sources for Pulse data?
Pulses are based on Twitter data only.
Do the Pulses show real-time data?
Yes. Pulse data refreshes every minute.
Why are metrics calculated differently in Pulses than in the Quid Monitor application?
For two reasons:
Pulses collect only Twitter data. Calculating metrics for Twitter data is different than for the combination of Twitter and non-Twitter data that appears in the Quid Monitor application.
The refresh rates differ between Pulses and Quid Monitor application, so the same data can be off by up to one minute.
How can I drill down into data displayed in a chart?
Open the topic in the Quid Monitor application and use the Analyze tool to drill down into your data set.
