I have been using it to find daily new topics from twitter stream in real time. The results are freely available for the public at http://web2express.org. it provides more complete set of hot topics than what the twitter trending topics does. It helps me quickly figure out emerging events as they emerging on twitter. aj chen Open calais is great. I have been using it to find daily new topics from twitter stream in real time.

The problem with all these tools is that the NLP is still very primitive. They can identify names and make a guess at some verbal relationships and anaphoric references but by and large they still get it mostly wrong. And that's not taking into account sense disambiguation, etc. So there's still an awful lot of work to do in getting unstructured web content organized. The "semantic web" isn't very semantic just yet.

Did they not notice the striking similarity between "Calais" and the ED medication which is one of the most spammed words in the English language? It would take me all of about 0.5 seconds to mark a subject line "give Calais a try!" as spam. Maybe their next product will be called "OpenVigara"... What a terrible name for a website!

As these easy-to-use semantic tools gain ubiquity, content-driven sites such as this and those mentioned above will help users make more rich and relevant connections between topics. Pulling external sources only amplifies this value. Phase2Technology (http://phase2technology.com) has been doing some pretty cool things with Calais and Drupal lately. The company I work for has partnered with them on a few projects, so I'm interested to see this being integrated on sites moving forward. This is great news for site admins.
