A new fee-based tool (the beta is free through October). The company calls it "thought parsing."


No one knows exactly how many blogs are being posted on the Internet, but it’s a number that grows daily, making blogging an increasingly important venue for the public discussion of everything—including products. Software now in beta use among a limited set of testers and scheduled for commercial launch in October can pull language from web logs—narratives usually maintained by individuals that recount their experiences and their reactions to those experiences—and offer manufacturers, retailers and other businesses a window on what consumers are saying about specific products and services, Matt Rice, founder of software maker Blabble, tells Internet Retailer.

I have been bugging a few people to create a product like this recently. In my opinion this has the opportunity to be really huge...an affordable and widely used version of something like Web Fountain.

hmmmm... off to explore...

Could see some great usage in our sites, "what people are saying about XYZ" kind of thing. Free, on topic content? Game on!

its free for now, but I think they intend to eventually charge for it. if they do a good job of it then it certainly would be worth a good penny
