SAN FRANCISCO, March 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, Bubbalon announced the initial release of its sentiment capture, sharing and analytics tools for publishers, marking a shift in the importance of consumer sentiment in content publishing, distribution and marketing.

"Until now, consumer preferences for content, products and services have been limited to 'Likes,' or plain indifference -- nothing more," said Todd Hamilton, co-founder. "Our simple-yet-powerful sentiment tools invite audiences to share their opinions, making them actionable for Publishers. When you understand how your audience feels, you can deliver a better product to them -- and your advertisers."

The tools, collectively called Bubbalon for Publishers, provide audiences with the opportunity to simply and quickly express preferences for content, products, services and brands using The Bubbalon Slider™ -- a simple widget that publishers can quickly embed in their pages.

Audiences can share personal preferences with Twitter, Facebook and the rest of their social graph while publishers can use Bubbalon Analytics™ to gain insight into audience preferences with granular detail.

Preference attributes are standardized based on the category. This normalized data enables publishers to compare sentiment across product and content types making sentiment a data set that can be queried like other big data.

Bubbalon representatives are available for product demos and media interviews in the Emerging Technology Pavilion at Web 2.0 Expo, San Francisco in pod #7.
