A Chrome Extension for determining how charged your news is.
How to Use
Navigate to any site that displays its headlines as links. Click on the Charged icon in your Google Chrome browser toolbar. Within a few seconds, highlights will slowly begin to appear across the headlines, indicating which ones use positive language, and which ones use negative language. Neutral headlines will be left un-highlighted. The extension has to crawl across the entire web page, so full analysis may take a minute. The analysis is based on keywords and an external API, so is not perfect, but in general we have found it to be 90% accurate.
Use
News sources claim to be neutral, but can often spin headlines and articles to be positive or negative, skewing the reader's judgement of the subject matter without their awareness of it. This tool highlights the sentiment contained in the language used by the news source, and the reader can then assess whether the news is being delivered with any sort of bias. Pay special attention to trends on whether specific topics and individuals are being shown in a predominantly positive or negative light.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
