NextStage BlueSky MeterNextStage BlueSky Meter - NSBM

NextStage BlueSky Meter (NSBM) is a format recognizing text analysis tool created at the request of FindMeFaster CEO Matt Van Wagner. Matt felt that most blog posts he read were full of BlueSky (Matt used another term) and wanted a definitive tool that determined if a post was BlueSky or not. NextStage BlueSky Meter was originally documented in The NextStage Irregular #1.

Like all NextStage tools, NextStage BlueSky Meter is based on Nextstage's patented and award winning Evolution Technology (ET). ET is the only patent (as far as we know) granted by the USPTO that "allows machines to understand and respond to human thought". Why format-recognizing? Because people respond to DOC files, web pages, emails, straight text, etc., differently even when the same information is contained in each item.

NextStage BlueSky Meter is capable of batch processing via Vox files. See below for Vox file instructions. NextStage often creates custom tools for clients. Some make it into our store because they're so much fun to use. Please contact NextStage if there's a particular tool you'd like us to create for you.

NextStage BlueSky Meter analyzes text material (blogs, Twitter streams, FaceBook pages, emails, ...) and determines how much Blue Sky is hidden in the content. Note that some material is intended to be BlueSkyish.

Vox File Submission Instructions

Vox files allow you to submit multiple files for batch analysis. NextStage BlueSky Meter emails you a single XLS of the results for all the files. The following must be true for NextStage BlueSky Meter to recognize and correctly process a VOX file:
  1. The files to be processed must be accessible on a web server
  2. The files must be browser compatible (htm*, txt, asp, php, etc)
  3. Each file to be processed must have a unique filename
  4. The VOX file's name must start with the letters "VOX" (VOXmysitepages.txt, for example)
  5. The VOX file must be in TXT format
  6. The full URL of each file to be processed must be its own single line in the VOX file
  7. Example: If you have fifty files to process then the VOX file content should look like

    http://xxx.yyy.zzz/file1.html
    http://xxx.yyy.zzz/file2.html
    http://xxx.yyy.zzz/file3.html
    ...
    http://xxx.yyy.zzz/file50.html

    Note that each file can be in a different web location provided each file is accessible via the web

Additional information:
  • Note that each file analyzed counts as one (1) run deducted from your NextStage BlueSky Meter account
  • NextStage BlueSky Meter will automatically deduct runs from your account as it processes the individual files and
  • Will notify you if you exhaust your runs before completing the VOX analysis
