Microsoft's political blog aggregator will arrange posts by political parties
Posted by Carolyn Lo on March 21, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Microsoft is building BLEWS, a political blog aggregator that will arrange posts by their reception in the liberal and conservative blogospheres instead of categorizing blog posts by topic. The news site will also indicate the level of emotional charge in the discussion in both political parties and compare views from different sides of the political spectrum on the same story.
BLEWS analyzes a real-time feed of political-blog posts provided by the Live Labs Social Media platform by adding a link and text analysis of the posts.
