It was about time someone did and I think that your work will lead to more detailed comparisons, which is great. I look forward to read the update. I believe that if you keep up with this, buy running and refining the test sets, you could have a reference page that would be tremendously beneficial. Goo luck with you project. </p> Excellent work in comparing all the API’s. It was about time someone did and I think that your work will lead to more detailed comparisons, which is great.

Use our site for information. Zero Air Pollution is the grassroots group that helped secure a ban on gas blowers in Los Angeles over ten years ago. Since then, we have supervised our public service website, <a href='http://www.zapla.org' rel='nofollow'>www.zapla.org</a> in order to educate the public, the press, and politicians about the history of our ban, and to encourage compliance with this law. We present health and economic facts about all leaf blower use. The site also has our responses to erroneous claims made by ban opponents. Those erroneous claims are still being used today, as are the same ploys to stop or hinder a blower ban. We DO need to update and link to new grassroots groups around the country, and to leaf blower videos such as <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXI681M2hDE' rel='nofollow'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXI681M2hDE</a> (Rake vs Blower) and others. </p> We are another, long-standing anti-leaf blower group.

Also if you are looking to get more entities back, just use “markup_limit” parameter to rise the number of entities returned until you hit your target signal to noise ratio.

You might want to calculate markup_limit depending on length or ‘entity density’ of your documents.

Looking forward for your results and how they compare with other solutions!
