I was just contemplating on this idea to develop some sort of app which could crawl through the various social networking sites, look at the comments ppl have posted on various things rangin from music to songs to products to movies , and then categorize them into individual sections and grade each product based on certain criterias etc. For eg: there might be many ppl who might have said something on a certain movie ' X' or a certain gadget 'Y', on sites like twitter or facebook.Could a tool be made to crawl across and fish those comments or tweets and try to make something intelligent out of that. I am sure there should be a lot of intelligence hidden up there in those social networking sites which can be utilized in making something comprehensible.
Would love it if someone could please give a thought to it, and yeah would such a application be feasible using web2py.(although I have not yet even laid out the path ahead)
