Hmm. "What are they saying about us?" A new program is about to try to measure that. The goal? "It can tell whether a newspaper article is reporting a political party’s policy in a positive or negative light, for instance, or whether an online review is praising a product or damning it."
Yikes. I can see the value of it, but yikes.
By the way, I got a roll of film developed and digitized, so there are some new photos in the Family album in the Gallery, and a new album called Oahu Scenery.

Posted by: blue girl at April 1, 2005 09:33 AMHmm. That's a new one on me. New Scientist is a reputable apolitical publication, so it wouldn't have done that without a good reason (as opposed to threats from Tom Delay!). I wonder what's going on. I'll try again later in the day. Thanks for letting me know.
