Abstract
The wealth of information produced over the internet empowers businesses to become data-driven organizations, increasing their ability to predict consumer behavior, take more informed strategic decisions, and remain competitive on the market. However, past research did not identify which online data sources companies should choose to achieve such an objective. This chapter aims to analyse how online news articles, social media messages, and user reviews can be exploited by businesses using natural language processing (NLP) techniques to build business intelligence. NLP techniques assist computers to understand and derive a valuable meaning from human (natural) languages. Following a brief introduction to NLP and a description of how these three text streams differ from each other, the chapter discusses six main factors that can assist businesses in choosing one data source from another. The chapter concludes with future directions towards improving business applications involving NLP techniques.

Applying Web 2.0 Tools in Hybrid Learning Designs
A technology originally designed to facilitate the publication of text summaries of additions to frequently-updated Web sites, such as news sites and Web logs. The user subscribes to the feed(s) of one or more RSS-enabled Web sites by configuring a news reader or aggregator program installed on his/her computer with the URL(s) of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) file(s) that comprise the feed. The program periodically checks the feed for new content and downloads it as it becomes available. RSS 2.0 feeds permit the inclusion of enclosures, which permit multimedia files (such as MP3 files in the case of podcasting) to be referenced in the feed.
