Hey thanks for the suggestion. I was also thinking of doing something along those lines. However, dont have enough content presently. Some kind of sentiment analysis would be useful.

Could you use twitter to grab some reviews? You wouldn't need to do it ongoing but it might be a good way to get to a critical mass of reviews.

Thats a great idea. Twitter can be a good source of seed content. Thanks for suggesting.

What kind of analysis are you doing so far with it?

Not much presently. Its just restricted to the bar chart. Infact that is mostly another form of visualisation of the content. There isnt much content presently for doing sentiment analysis where you could show a goodness meter for something based on the words being submitted as reviews. I am not finding much time to work on new features between collecting seed content, finding users, getting feedback, etc. Of course, that cannot be an excuse for not getting the features done. Infact there are lots of other items in the pipeline that need to be done - eg. spell check, more general search - presently its mostly exact match with some help from autocomplete, social integration, chat, etc.

I don't really know where you want to go with this project whether its a company or just an interesting side project but I work as a Data Analyst.

Would you like some help analysing the data further? I think it's an interesting project with potential.

Its mostly a side project as of now, although I do want to turn it into a venture if possible. I couldnt find your email in your profile. Send me an email and lets discuss what we can do. My email is in my profile. I would be glad to collaborate.
