Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for using electronic feeds (e.g., online news feeds, social media resources/websites, etc.) to predict potentially harmful events and take preemptive measures/actions to minimize and/or avoid loss. In a typical embodiment, a set of electronic feeds (e.g., news feeds and/or social networking website feeds) is accessed. A query is then issued against the set of feeds based on a set of search criteria pertaining to a possible event having a potential to adversely affect the networked computing environment. A set of results is received in a computer memory medium of the networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether at least one property of the set of results (e.g., a quantity of 'hits') meets one or more predetermined event criteria (e.g., a predetermined threshold).
