			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="http://Perspctv.com">Perspctv</a> is a new mashup created to compare and measure the  popularity of any given keywords. This is achieved through monitoring data from  sources like <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://technorati.com">Technorati</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://google.com/insights/search/">Google Insights</a>, etc.. It became popular during the recent US elections for its analysis of online information from different sources, but I still see it as a useful tool for different activities.</p>
<p>  <img width="184" height="64" border="0" align="left" alt="Search Mashup" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/perspctv.png" />I have been testing this service since about two days now  and I&rsquo;ve found it to be a good tool to see what people are discussing and  writing about in the real time. UI  is very interactive, it lets you  pause the results that are updated in real-time, mouseover on graphs to see more information and you can scroll up or down to view the results you&rsquo;ve  missed.</p>
<p>  Few top feature requests made by the users are, 1) Offer a  widget which can be embedded into sites and blogs, 2) Offer RSS feeds for each  individual searches and 3) Option to leave comments on comparisons.</p>
<p>  <span id="more-2304"></span>I <a target="_blank" href="http://www.perspctv.com/q/google+docs,office+live,zoho">performed</a> a comparison between <strong>Google Docs</strong>, <strong>Office Live</strong>,  <strong>Zoho</strong> and from the results I understood that Office Live is the most  mentioned/discussed term on Twitter and in blogosphere but stands second to  Google Docs in search. I link this surge in &ldquo;Office Live&rdquo; popularity to the  recent announcements made at <a target="_top" href="http://microsoftpdc.com">MicrosoftPDC</a> about Office Live and other online  products. </p>
<p align="center"><a href="javascript:void(window.open('http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/graphs.png' rel="shadowbox[post-2304];player=img;','TNerd.com - Perspctv','resizable=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no,fullscreen=no,dependent=no'))"><img width="500" height="124" border="0" align="bottom" alt="Graphs from Perspctv" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/graphs-small.png" /></a><br /> (Click on the Image to see a bigger view or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.perspctv.com/q/google+docs,office+live,zoho">here</a> to see it live)</p>
<p>  Similarly you can either use this tool to compare any given  topic or just track the latest developments on the net. </p>
<p>  Few things that I would like to see on Perspctv are..</p>
<ul>
<li>Ability to select the source of information</li>
<li>Negatives from positives</li>
<li>Ads separated from the content</li>
<li>Suggestions in terms of the topics that I am  using. For example, I used Google Docs, Zoho and Office Live. Is there a better  combination</li>
</ul>
<p>Overall I like the tool for its simple functionality and its flexible desing. Do check it out! <a target="_blank" href="http://Perspctv.com">Perspctv.</a> </p>
