Our job is to accurately detect sentiment even down to an individual blog post. However, just like with regular reviews, sentiment analysis is more reliable in the aggregate. After we analyze say 10-15 "reviews" in blog posts, a pattern starts to emerge that helps users determine at-a-glance the overall sentiment of a topic without having to read through a lot of unstructured text. To see examples of new types of derived experiences we can create using Sentiment Analysis, try "vs." queries such as canon printers vs. epson printers http://www.summize.com/topic/canon/printers/vs./epson/printers Also, take a peek at our trends page http://www.summize.com/trends to see blogger sentiment buildup on new products.

Understandable since that's how they are able to group opinions by product. Otherwise if you were simply crawling the web the problem is orders of magnitude more difficult since you'd have to not only identify what is review content but also figure out exactly which product the review is for. Amazon already does an OK job with helping a user filter thru reviews. I was very excited until I realized that they seem to only be using Amazon reviews.

For the ten plus minutes I've been perusing the site there has been lots of interesting content and a really nice interface. I really like the non-5 star interface. I think it presents the information in a very useful way. I also like the way the reviews are displayed (with green to red background based on their rating rather than displaying their star rating).
