Very cool! I've been interested in this area for quite some time. Here's one guy to built a hedge fund around the quantification of investor sentiment using online data ( http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-02/money-minded-h... ) "MarketPsych ran an audited hedge fund (MarketPsy Long-Short Fund LP) from 2008 through 2010, which beat the S&P benchmark by 25% during its lifetime."

Thanks so much!

I know the MarketPsych founder Richard. Great guy, super forward thinking and definitely someone we respect. He sells exclusively through TR now I believe.

Under the hood we are very different cos in terms of our data and what we aim to do with it. Time will tell ;-)

About our own product, we are building something to help web and mobile business grow their revenue. Horntell - http://horntell.com Demo - http://demo.horntell.com We allow businesses to automatically engage their users and turn them into champions. I think, demo should give you a fair piece of idea. What do you think about the demo, guys? Awesome? Good? Or just Eh? :) TIA

I closed the tab when the demo asked for a name / email. Why should I give my name / email before I know whether or not I want to use something?

Nice design, though.

Paywhirl - https://www.paywhirl.com/ Start a subscription service on your website in less than 5 minutes without needing to code. Powered by Stripe.

From what I understand X-cart and Magento already address this with PayPal and quite possibly Stripe. And if you're coding your own website you might as well use Stripe's API.

Oh, we didn't think it that way.

But we need your name to show the personalisation capabilities and email to demonstrate you the off-site engagement.

I know everyone says it, but we truly mean it when we say that we will not spam you. It is the need of demo that it requires some information to personalise the demo your way.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback. We will definitely brainstorm something around it this week.
