Let Google Decide for You

Google is developing a service that will tell you what you’re reading. The Prediction API uses your historical data and labels to perform text analysis. It can easily do simple stuff, like distinguishing whether a page is in English or French. But if you feed it enough data, it can approximate whether an op-ed is “conservative” or “liberal” based on vocabulary. It is still in development and available only to registered testers at this point; but here’s a demo whipped up by Forbes‘s Jon Bruner to let you give it a try. [%comments]
