It is my old startup but it's been somewhat of a side project as the revenue has gone down and consulting and other projects have grown. But I do web hosting reviews based on what people say on Twitter using sentiment analysis. It avoids the problem of fake reviews by using massive amounts of data.

Hey there. Been in hosting since 1999. I've worked at two of the companies on your first page and know people at/from several others on your first page. In fact I was at one of them until this month. Hello from the other side!


hey, where did you go now? Care to offer any opinion about reviews in the space?


I'm at a MWP provider that shares something in common with SpaceX ;-)

My only misgiving is that twitter itself is extremely negative, and that the signal to noise ratio (no pun intended) is fairly bad. I've been on the front lines of answering twitter during outages, and I'm scarred for life. It's been 6 years since I was at ASO and I just now can stomach visiting twitter without having a PTSD like response. So gathering review and comments from there is gonna be a hard one for me to swallow. I do like the fairness of the concept, but in practice I think the source (twitter) itself is flawed in this regard. I've seen people paying <$10/mo go to absolute war against a host on Twitter because the host wouldn't fix their hacked site. So... I'm biased against it lol.
