Bluefin Labs
Bluefin Labs was a social TV analytics company founded in 2008 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Deb Roy and Michael Fleischman, spun out of research at the MIT Media Lab. Its platform semantically interpreted public social media commentary from Twitter, Facebook and blogs and automatically linked those comments to the television shows and advertisements people were watching, producing audience engagement measurement for networks, agencies and brands. Its product, Bluefin Signals, gave media buyers a tool for accessing and analyzing social TV response data. The company raised a Series A led by Redpoint Ventures in 2010 and a $12M Series B led by Time Warner Investments in January 2012, with SoftBank Capital and Lerer Ventures participating. Twitter acquired Bluefin Labs on February 6, 2013 for a reported ~$100 million and absorbed the team and technology into its TV advertising and analytics products. The company is DEFUNCT: it operates no independent product, developer program or API, and the bluefinlabs.com domain no longer belongs to the company — it now redirects to an unrelated news site. This profile is retained as a historical / portfolio-graph record only.
Bluefin Labs is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Properties that don't map to a standard resource type
Bluefin Labs is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Bluefin Labs, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
