Blogs... Our lifeline.

Reading, is a wonderful way to get back some sanity in life. So, is wandering to a destination that is "Just right". Without much of a plan, I have merged the two - reading about nice places and learning to identify the next "Just Right" destination for my family and me. Blogs from people, therefore, are godsend. But the reality is brutal. Reading blogs and daydreaming, in the process, can grow to fill our entire day and can bring in stress at having not worked much. How nice would it be, if someone could read up blogs for us and tell us which of the blogs provide the information that we are looking for. We then, can have our cake and eat it too.. The information we desire and the read of a few blogs in between work, to relax and refocus.

This is precisely what drove us. Desperate to make the right decision and still not wanting to spend the time that it required, made us turn to the only friend we know who could deliver - our computer. FindMyCarrots is all about making information from data - and that is exactly what we were looking at FmC to deliver from blogs. We were unsure, but gave it our first decent moonshot at the Tnooz hackathon. 2 days of mad coding later, the basic functionality of understanding blogs automatically, worked and we were happy. However, the training that our machines needed was big and the "quality control", we humans had to put the machines through was long and arduous. 

But as they say, good things happen to those who wait, but better things come to those who hustle. We hustled our machines through the learning process, and here we are today bringing you information gleaned from blogs that some of your fellow travelers write. We are eager to know what you think about this endeavor. Tell us. We are listening, intently...
