Comments on: Twitter-Calais mashup tracks IL-5 election buzz http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2009/02/24/twitter-calais-mashup-tracks-il-5-election-buzz/ EBB is the ebiquity research group\\\'s blog at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). We focus on technologies that facilitate the design, implementation and control of distributed, intelligent information systems -- mobile and pervasive computing, ad hoc networking, multiagent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and the semantic web. As the tides of technology ebb and flow, we hope the good ideas wash up on our beach and the bad ones drift back out to sea.

I had not explore your mashup enough. I had imagined you were running the tweets through Calais to have it do NER, which is why I thought it was overkill. Ah, I see.

Glad to see you blogging about our little mashup. One note though. We aren't using Calais to find the tweets, just using the Twitter search api. We are using Calais to mine links in tweets for Topics and Quotes. When hovering over the chart, the Topics are shown as "trends". Some Tweets have a "Preview Link" button which expands the tweet to show quotes pulled from the article link to in the tweet. Hey there! Glad to see you blogging about our little mashup.
