LAK11 Tools Wiki
LAK11 Tools Wiki
We've talked a lot about different analytics tools. Compiling them into a single list may help.
Add any tools or other information about them to the table below. (It's looking like this table could be sorted into a few different tables based on different types of analytics tools...)

Anyone know of a tool that can extract tags from IM or twitter text by analyzing the text for meaning?
There is no "discussion tab" that I can see.
Long way: You apply the porter stemmer algorithm to bring each word to their morphological root: http://tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/. You get rid of all the function words: http://www.flesl.net/Vocabulary/Single-word_Lists/function_word_list.php. You then sort words by frequency count and keep the most frequent ones.
Easy way: Paste your text there: create wordle from text. Annoyingly, it doesn't seem to be possible to access the tags in text format. TagCrowd show the tags as text instead of image.
This type of analysis really is by word frequency, avoiding the words that are known to not bear meaning.
A real meaning analysis is somewhat more complex. One of the techniques is called Latent semantic indexing
