A web application is about to be released that will use algorithms to catch the spin that your gut misses.
It’s called Spinspotter, and it reviews web pages based on guidelines provided by Society of Professional Journalists’ Code Of Ethics, and rates them for web content.
I look forward to reading it’s rating of my own writing…I think.

Blog Guidelines
By posting comments on Unite and Concur you are acknowledging and agreeing to the following general comments policy:
(1) If your comment doesn't appear immediately, please be patient. This is a moderated blog. If you’ve ever read posts on unmoderated sites that touch on political issues, you know why this one is moderated one.
(2) I reserve the right to edit posted comments for content, clarity, and length.
(3) I also reserve the right to delete posts that do not follow UC guidelines. (If you call me an “ass,” I’m likely to delete your comment. If you correct or reinterpret a remark I made, I’m likely to approve your comment.) Be clear, be direct and have an opinion, but be nice. I will not approve abusive, offensive, profane, or racist posts – unless I do so to point out the inappropriateness of the remark. This is a reasonable dialogue about reasonable dialogue.
(4) When you post an opinion, provide your logic and sources.
(5) Be willing to allow others to influence your opinion.
(6) Avoid loaded language like: “Wing nut” and “fascist” unless they are the necessary to the content of your post.
