BLEWS: an Opinion Measuring Tool for News Ranking
Posted on Mar 5, 08 02:36 AM PDT

[Microsoft TechFest 2008] Measuring people’s reputation is one of the trends of the Social Web, and this web application ranks the news according to political blogs opinions. The number of links is displayed for each article on the left side (blue) for the Liberals and on the right side for the Conservatives (red). The level of emotional charge is also displayed using small squares, from one to four (low level to high level). The emotional charge is determined by analyzing the natural language used in the blogs. This could be the next generation of aggregators, or an Uber-Digg. Arnd Christian Konig from MSR in Redmond, presented me the project. You can find more info on the project web page.

Looks like this site is a cheap and late Microsoft copy of skewz.com which has been around for a while.
