UPDATE: I created a form to make this easier to use.
This is a little something I hacked up after a conversation the other night. It's a word analysis tool for your email, RSS feeds, and regular websites.
It's very basic right now and not very pretty, but it is relatively functional. I'm sure there are TONS of kinks that need to be worked out, prettied up, etc. I know that the word splitting, including stuff like non-alphanumeric characters in words, need to be worked on. For instance, words with apostrophes are shown without apostrophes. Not a terrible problem, but something to fix for sure.
The first form lets you scan a single site's feed.
If you'd like to compare the word counts of two feeds, you can do that, too. Only works on feeds that have already been scanned at least once.
Here's an example of a comparison that yields some results - DailyKos VS Atrios.
If you want to scan your email, you can do that, too. WARNING: It reads your emails into a database, then parses them separately when you view the report. Of course, I'm setting it up to automatically delete the emails for now for security reasons. I don't want to read your emails, and I don't want the folks at my web host to be able to either. I am NOT saving your passwords in ANY way, not even temporarily. If you don't feel comfortable with this, obviously, don't use it.
Only gets unread messages, though. If you have a ton of unread messages, like several hundred, it may time out. You'll still be able to analyze the data it did get; you just won't be analyzing everything in your email.
Right now, there is a basic word popularity ranking with a pretty little pie chart, then a table of the words and number of occurrences below. Oh, and a curse word counter for shits and giggles.
Have fun! And, as always, please let me know if you find anything wrong or have a suggestion! I will, of course, be setting up some pages with forms so you don't have to use these godawful long as hell URLs.
