Blog-Spotting With IBM

Topics:

Not entirely clear how this works. It's not a service. It seems like it is a software that you install and then I suppose set it loose on some set of blogs. Wouldnt' it be better if it were a service, for scalability if nothing else?

Moodteller: Estimating mood levels in LiveJournal

Topics:

Could we apply this to the learning remix, and would it be useful? My cut is that things like mood analysis are good at large scale. At small scale, like in a classroom with under 100 students, you are better off directly engaging.
