I find it interesting but here's the catch, Im not promoting a company or something. I like the fact that an application can detect the emotion of the comment or post from a blog or site.

Computers specifically the internet serves as our medium to express our thoughts, idealisms, and emotions through blogs, forums and websites. These pages are commonly read by spiders and bots according to programming language and they have no idea what we really feel unless these pages are read by other people. But what if there is a tool that can analyze the message or content written on the web?

That idea is cool enough and the good news is, it comes to life via a “sentiment analysis” tool that teaches our computers to understand sentiments of humans through text just like how we understand other people. This application was first adopted by big brand names that help them in their advertising campaign. They use this application to catch the emotions of people who does blogs, comments and online press releases that may destroy or make up their product’s image.
