Semantria: A New Face For Text Analytics
Semantria applies Text and Sentiment Analysis to tweets, facebook posts, surveys, reviews or enterprise content.
A cloud based company that specializes in text analytics and sentiment analysis named Semantria has just released a new website. The design of the website emphasizes the different products and features Semantria has to offer. The entire process of getting up and running with either a free or paid Semantria account can now be done with 3 clicks.
Another cool feature is the ability to purchase text analytics software without talking to a salesperson. After registering with Semantria, you are automatically credited with 10,000 transactions for free. One transaction equals one tweet, one survey response, one Facebook comment; basically any one passage of text. Now when you run out of credits, you can simply login to the Semantria website and buy more.
Due to the nature of this technology, things can be complicated. Getting help with support and tutorial is made more seamless, as well as additional documentation has been made available. The goal of the new website was to make it easy to navigate.
Get up and running in minutes, no credit card required!

Ray Kurzwell knows how to predict the future. He is not a psychic, but he is Google’s director of engineering and he is designing the technology that will impact the future. Kurzwell has a long list of accomplishments, highlighted on Jimi Disu’s Blog in a recent post: “Google’s Ray Kurzweil Predicts How The World Will Change.”
Kurzwell invented the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, flatbed image scanner, and music synthesizer capable of recreating orchestra instruments. His current projects include the Google Brain and finding a cure for aging. His personal goal is immortality by way of technology. He also predicted the Internet revolution; a computer would beat a human at chess, and the fall of the Soviet Union. One has to give him credit for his accuracy and he has even come up with a timeline for what will happen in the next forty years.
What can we expect? Kurzwell believe we will have self-driving cars, personal assistant search engines, be able to switch off our fat cells, click and print designer clothes at home, full-immersion virtual reality, 100 percent solar energy, and vertical meat and vegetable farms. There are some other ideas listed with Kurzwell’s timeline that supplement his predictions.

The Monday announcement says that, “If successful, proven methods developed under the Strengthening Human Adaptive Reasoning and Problem-solving (SHARP) program may enhance analysts’ capacity to reason through complex, ambiguous and often novel problems common to the Intelligence Community.”

NOTES:
Industrial era institutions have failed — need a new way of organizing.
Liquid demoracy, liquid feedback delegates trust.
Politics about decision-making but no software captures how decisions are made and carried forward.
AGENCY is the deinstituionalization (disintermediation) os as to move agency back to the people.
Institutions cannot currently interact with networks (e.g. “outreach” stinks)
GOAL is to replace institutions with P2P protocols.
