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: http://www.wordle.net/create. Annoyingly, it doesn't seem to be possible to access the tags in text format.
