The Blog Analysis Toolkit (BAT) now has over 60 users. If you are studying blogs, please try out our beta version: https://surveyweb2.ucsur.pitt.edu/qblog/page_login.php There is a quick-start tutorial: http://www.qdap.pitt.edu/bat-tutorial.htm BAT is free and easy to use. It creates archives of blog posts in a format that is ready to code in CAT: http://www.qdap.pitt.edu/cat.htm As a part of my move, there is a new QDAP called QDAP-UMass: http://people.umass.edu/stu/QDAP-UMass/ The old QDAP will go on at Pitt and operate in a loose alliance or federation with QDAP-UMass. We are going to keep on building tools for capturing and coding text. Right now we are working on one to make it easier to prepare large Lexis-Nexis searches for sorting and coding in CAT. I hope to have this on the web soon. thanks, ~Stu -- Dr. Stuart W.
