Once Hardware now Software
This clip reminded of how we’re seeing many hardware interfaces turn into software interfaces and interactive platforms. Hardware is becoming smaller and more simple and software is now replacing many hardware components and applications. In 1998 I had a Pioneer and Cambridge Audio Hi-Fi separates console and now it sits in my garage, like a [...]
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. It’s rather long and key points are delivered after some tenuous examples, but it’s worth a watch as gives [...]

The web is rapidly becoming a more semantic, dynamic and real-time environment. Applications now sit on the cloud and people are spending more time on social networks.

According to RIAS, Sliverlight now has 62% adoption in [...]
Thoughts on making the Semantic Web a reality
Web 3.0 from Kate Ray on Vimeo. This documentary is brilliant and it’s completely rekindled my interest in semantics again. Admittedly I’ve been off the subject recently, however, the sceptics have made me want to add my two pence worth. I’m for the semantic web. 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 [...]
