Subject: New Website Allows Individuals to Express Opinions to Obama and McCain

U.S. Elections website at www.eaagle.com/uselections provides full text analysis of unstructured responses to questions aimed at presidential candidates.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 26, 2008 - Chicago, IL (US) - Eaagle Software launched a website today that allows individuals to voice their opinion about what needs to be addressed by the U.S. presidential candidates. The U.S. Elections website asks the question

What should be the candidate�s top priority for America?

Typically, election polls allow structured responses to multiple choice questions. The answers are then tabulated and results are shown in a chart that displays the percentage of people making a particular choice. Eaagle Software, using the technology found in their Full Text Mapper (FTM) product, provides an analysis of full text responses by individuals. "Our website allows individuals to fully express how they feel about specific topics that are important to them," states Pierre Kergall, COO of Eaagle. "Not only can people express WHAT is important to them, they can tell you WHY it is important. This is the power of full text analysis."

Individuals who visit the website at http://www.eaagle.com/uselections/ can view a map of how others responded to the question and can add their own responses to be included in the map. A new map is generated each day and provides a daily view of how topics and sentiments vary based on issues being faced by the world. Our hope is that the candidates will look to this website to see exactly what is important to people and how current events are affecting their world, adds Kergall. With full text analysis, individuals can discuss a wide range of topics and candidates may discover that people are very concerned about a topic that they did not even consider of importance.
