Keywords

The Extractor is "software for automatically summarizing text, developed by the Interactive Information Group. Extractor takes a text file as input and generates a list of key words and a list of key sentences as output." What you get is a list of keywords. I tried it on Catalogablog. It gave fair results. It did list "comments" and "links" as important. Those words appear at the end of each item so they appear to have some importance. This could be useful if someone had to apply keywords to lots of Web pages or e-mails. It does show that it is not time for catalogers to be replaced if quality is desired.
