Gravity offers Content Personalization by using something they developed using the "interest graph" to tailor specific interests of each user on social websites. The "interest graph" uses real time ingestion to process content and behavior data. The data then gets a Semantic and a Virility analysis and the "interest graph" is created according to each specific user. Gravity also uses these graphs in relation to specific brands. The data presented in these graphs give specific information on what customers a company has and their preferences. The companies using Gravity "interest graphs" are able to directly see what their customers want and expect. The graphs enable brands to eliminate focus groups, market research, surveys, etc.
