BuzzMonitor - Open Source Buzz Monitoring from the World Bank
Pierre Guillaume just dropped me a note with a link to an open source buzz monitoring system developed at the World Bank. I've not yet had time to do a deep dive on it, but the motivation and history of the tool certainly look interesting. Essentially, the WB was interested in monitoring discussion about itself and developed some tools to do just that - by pulling feeds. They then rolled they system, which is built on the LAMP stack, out as an open source project.
Pierre pointed me to a Salon article which covers the story.
hm.....
I bet I should ping them about Spinn3r.....
