Sentiment Analysis - what can "like" mean

On Internet, Sentiment Analysis allows businesses to analyze what people think about their product, service, an event or for that matter in the context of personal networks, analyze if people like your photo or a thought you share on your wall. Facebook has just one qualifier "like" and I think it is not allowing people to express the right sentiment - it also makes life difficult for businesses to analyze and make sense of the analyzed data. It is time we introduce more responses than "like" OR like we do now, have multiple interpretations of "like".

The Internet of Things

Talking of Smarter planet - this video lays down the vision for next decade when we expect devices start talking (and controlling) to each other without having humans to intervene - via Internet. There are countless examples and applications of how life will become easy and efficient if this turns into reality. For example,
a sensor to detect an aging railway track requiring service and about to breakdown if talks to the signalling system and get a railway to halt before it runs into an accident - can save hundreds of lives.
Instrument - Analyze-Connect-Act is the essence of the Smarter Planet.
