This is Dhiren Shingadia's blog about stuff that makes him tick. Here you'll find ramblings about web technology, design and occasional, superfluous, spatters of randomness.

Google pop at IE
Just catching up on the Google IO conferences and this pop at Internet Explorer made smile. It shows how the new versions of Open Source browsers will utilise HTML 5 to support desktop APIs. The support of desktop APIs will make web applications more like the desktop applications that we’re used to. By the end [...]
Building Web Reputation Systems
I started watching this video thinking it was something to do with sentiment monitoring, but it’s actually about leveraging the reputations of people within communities and correct use of voting mechanisms, in order to define reputation.

BUT: We will be waiting for years before it materialises [...]

EML
Those of you who are used to analysing sentiment will know it’s no easy task—even though some of our dashboards automate certain processes for us. Programs are not good at understanding natural language and we have to configure them to recognise specific words that indicate different types of emotion and sentiment. Through some recent poking [...]
