About O'Reilly Research
----------------------------
O'Reilly Research uses a variety of natural language, machine learning,
and statistical techniques to extract, condense, and illustrate online
sources of information about computer technologies.

O'Reilly's connections to the creators and developers of new
technologies provide us with early warnings about emerging trends,
which we then quantify and incorporate into predictive models. This
approach allows us to report on these technologies long before they
appear on the radar screens of traditional market research companies,
which often rely on survey panels or random-digit dialing. In contrast,
we directly sample what people are saying and doing on the Internet.
Other companies ask; we watch.
