nteresting post on text analytics. I don't know if Clarabridge has a RESTful API. If it does, I think it would be interesting to use it to create a mashup with the
White House blog. The Obama administration has asked the public to submit comments and ideas on a wide variety of topics ranging from health care to the economy. I believe in some cases they have received tens of thousands of emails. I wonder how are they processing them?
With a Clarabridge mashup we could analyze each blog posting from the Obama administration but more importantly we could use it to analyze the citizen's feedback. We could then use this analysis to track the government progress and responsiveness.
In addition to the WH blog I would like to use the API to process the RSS feeds from
Recovery.org. Talk about efficiency and transparency, I can't think of a better way of doing it.
Love the suggestion. I agree. See my response at: http://experienceintelligence.blogspot.com/2009/03/re-in2clouds-theory-about-text.html
