Noticed this a couple of days ago but not had time to blog about it. As I’m getting more and more addicted to Twitter I have been paying more attention to Twitter news… and this is the latest and greatest! New Twitter search engine called Summize, see here. Summize is an existing search engine to find user opinion on products/people/anything.
Something I hadn’t noticed in my first look around was the ability to search by polarity of sentiment, according to Laughing Squid this is done by the emoticons in tweets. Very clever! So thanks to Laughing Squid, more accurately Scott Beale for this insight!

Those who know me will know I, from time to time, have some problems with sleeping. Those that know me a little better will know that I’m always whinging about not sleeping… which has over the last week or so got a little out of hand and led me to be pretty sick the last few days. Boo!
Whilst bored at around 5am I started fiddling with my phone and thought that maybe Google could help me with my insomnia problem, the first thing I found was this on Helpguide.org. The article goes into a lot of detail about the symptoms, causes and cures for insomnia and from my experience it is all very accurate. A lot of the information I could personally relate to and plan on taking some of the advice in the cures section. Admittedly, I wont be trying the meditation/drug based cures.
The quality of this link is the sole reason for this post, I wanted to give some credit/kudos to the people who wrote it. I know it’s unlikely they will read this but who cares, I can sleep at night in the knowledge I credited them (great pun hey?). So thank you Gina Kemp, M.A., Tina de Benedictis, Ph.D, Robert Segal, M.A., and Suzanne Barston!
