CLIAMS:We claim:
1. A method for identifying potential users using machine learning, comprising:
receiving, via one or more hardware processors, existing user data for a business entity;
identifying, via the one or more hardware processors, using the existing user data, account information of existing users on one or more social media networks;
configuring, via the one or more hardware processors, one or more social media listeners to extract, using the account information of the existing users, social media data associated with the existing users from the one or more social media networks;
creating, via the one or more hardware processors, virtual profiles for the existing users based on the existing user data and the social media data associated with the existing users;
extracting, by performing multidimensional trend analysis via the one or more hardware processors, one or more trends based on the virtual profiles and one or more requirements of the business entity; and
identifying, using a learning model implemented via the one or more hardware processors, based on the one or more extracted trends, new potential users using the social media networks.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
tagging, via the one or more hardware processors, the new potential users as potential customers in a database.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
querying, via the one or more hardware processors, the one or more social media networks to determine contact information for one of the new potential users; and
generating, via the one or more hardware processors, a communication to that new potential user using the contact information.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the social media listener extracts the social media data associated with the existing users from the one or more social media networks over a predetermined period of time at a predetermined interval.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:
updating, via the one or more hardware processors, the virtual profiles for the existing users for the duration of the predetermined period of time;
extracting, by performing multidimensional trend analysis via the one or more hardware processors, one or more updated trends based on the updated virtual profiles; and
identifying, using the learning model implemented via the one or more hardware processors, based on the one or more updated trends, additional new potential users using the social media networks.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more social media listeners utilize one or more application programming interfaces of the one or more social media networks to receive real-time social media data for the existing users.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein:
the virtual profiles include tags indicating one or more interests, behaviors, and emotions associated with the existing users; and
the one or more trends are based on a frequency of one or more of the tags in the virtual profiles.

8. A user trend analysis system comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via one or more hardware processors, existing user data for a business entity;
identifying, via the one or more hardware processors, using the existing user data, account information of existing users on one or more social media networks;
configuring, via the one or more hardware processors, one or more social media listeners to extract, using the account information of the existing users, social media data associated with the existing users from the one or more social media networks;
creating, via the one or more hardware processors, virtual profiles for the existing users based on the existing user data and the social media data associated with the existing users;
extracting, by performing multidimensional trend analysis via the one or more hardware processors, one or more trends based on the virtual profiles and one or more requirements of the business entity; and
identifying, using a learning model implemented via the one or more hardware processors, based on the one or more extracted trends, new potential users using the social media networks.

9. The system of claim 8, the operations further comprising:
tagging, via the one or more hardware processors, the new potential users as potential customers in a database.

10. The system of claim 8, the operations further comprising:
querying, via the one or more hardware processors, the one or more social media networks to determine contact information for one of the new potential users; and
generating, via the one or more hardware processors, a communication to that new potential user using the contact information.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the social media listener extracts the social media data associated with the existing users from the one or more social media networks over a predetermined period of time at a predetermined interval.

12. The system of claim 11, the operations further comprising:
updating, via the one or more hardware processors, the virtual profiles for the existing users for the duration of the predetermined period of time;
extracting, by performing multidimensional trend analysis via the one or more hardware processors, one or more updated trends based on the updated virtual profiles; and
identifying, using the learning model implemented via the one or more hardware processors, based on the one or more updated trends, additional new potential users using the social media networks.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more social media listeners utilize one or more application programming interfaces of the one or more social media networks to receive real-time social media data for the existing users.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein:
the virtual profiles include tags indicating one or more interests, behaviors, and emotions associated with the existing users; and
the one or more trends are based on a frequency of one or more of the tags in the virtual profiles.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable trend analysis instructions for:
receiving, via one or more hardware processors, existing user data for a business entity;
identifying, via the one or more hardware processors, using the existing user data, account information of existing users on one or more social media networks;
configuring, via the one or more hardware processors, one or more social media listeners to extract, using the account information of the existing users, social media data associated with the existing users from the one or more social media networks;
creating, via the one or more hardware processors, virtual profiles for the existing users based on the existing user data and the social media data associated with the existing users;
extracting, by performing multidimensional trend analysis via the one or more hardware processors, one or more trends based on the virtual profiles and one or more requirements of the business entity; and
identifying, using a learning model implemented via the one or more hardware processors, based on the one or more extracted trends, new potential users using the social media networks.
