Welcome to SemantAPI!
I wanted to christen this community resource by explaining what this website is about. You’re already here, so it’s fair to assume that you know a little bit about sentiment analysis. This site is a community resource for anyone looking to learn about sentiment analysis.
I’d like to note that everyone is welcome on SemantAPI. Vendors, users, analysts, specialists, whoever and whatever you are, feel free to participate! Want to create a blog post? Go write ahead :P, and email me at semantapi [at] gmail with an interesting topic.
This site is named after SemantAPI, an open source software that allows you to compare sentiment analysis APIs side by side. You will be able to input any text you want, as different programs may be better suited for different industries. It also allows you to draw your own conclusions on what program works best for your specific data needs.
Want to add a program to compare with the others? You are more than welcome to do so. Once again, just reach out and let me know the info. I want to emphasize that this is a community website, and if you want to put something out there, go ahead and do it!
What will not be tolerated on this website is shameless self-promotion, shady backlink-rich posts or any thing that stinks with advertising. This, along with the usual stuff like harassment, profanity and the others that I won’t even bother to mention, will be deleted.
I strongly encourage you to check out the SemantAPI software so that you can make your own evaluations. You are also invited to post your findings in the comments section or in a separate blog post, so the community can see the pros and cons of these different sentiment analysis services.
That being said, I’d like to open the floor to you guys. What’s going on in the industry? Deep learning seems to be a pretty cool buzz-word at the moment. Does anyone have any news on emotion analysis? I could see it being the successor to sentiment analysis. Feel free to comment on this post, or email me with a topic and some content you would like to see go up on this website.
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Looks like a great tool set, I am excited to give it a run thru. I have been following the concept of Deeper Content that Marcus Klinge discuses on his blog by the same name ( trying to avoid shameless link promotions
I’ve been very interested in the Alchemy API and came across your mashup on Programmableweb.com ( ok that one is mildly shameless 
while doing my own analysis of the site. I think tools like these will prove to be invaluable with the push towards a more semantical web. Now I need to install parallels on my mac to try it out. Cheers.

Hi Brett,
Thanks for the post. I mean, call me biased, but I completely agree with regards to the value of comparison tools like this. I think it would be really cool if you posted the results you find using SemantAPI. We could even take it one step further and turn it into a full fledged blog post. If you’re interested, send me an email (semantapi [at] gmail) and I’ll help you set that up!
Cheers,
Scott
