Compare Anything on Perspctv

by Allen Weiner  |  November 4, 2008  |  Comments Off

I saw a mention of Perspctv on a popular blog, and after a thorough look, I am ready to give it cool vendor award on the spot. Don’t know much about the site or company, but you can compare any two topics/names and you get a dashboard that you can easily socialize. The site mines information in real time (or so it appears) from microblogging sites such as Twitter, the blogosphere, CNN and Google search.

Go to the site and you can see a comparison between McCain and Obama. On a day when news junkies cannot get enough content, it’s a great destination to keep a finger on the pulse of this dynamic event.
