Sentiment Analysis is a growing feature of several applications that we see today. The trend is not surprising given the fact that the billions of messages per day are flowing in and out of several services on the web.

We have seen an explosion in the number of APIs that are now available to developers. It seems like almost everyone has one and those that don't are scrambling to get one. The focus now is clearly not on just having an API, but having a "great API." Two excellent presentations from Cloudstock, held earlier this month, give you an overview on the current state of the API market and tips on what makes a great API.
The Twitter API is one of the widely used APIs in our directory. It is also one of the fastest changing, with updates going out to its developer list on what feels like a weekly basis. Some recent changes are especially big and mean an end to the GeoAPI, which Twitter acquired a year ago.

It looks as though the good folks at Umbraco have successfully migrated the bulk of their codebase from SVN to Mercurial on CodePlex. I say “bulk of” because I don’t yet see the v5.0 branch – though based on a recent post by Alex Norcliffe, I expect to see it soon enough.
