Meng,
Considerably more now than before; thank you for the references.
I looked at each product's homepage briefly. Here's my snap evaluation
of each:
http://tmda.net : used fewest (perhaps no) absolute terms in
describing the product. I will likely install it soon.
http://www.titankey.com : used several exclusive and absolute terms in
describing their product, which induces a healthy skepticism.
Logically, easily to refute. Practically, has little useful meaning.
Linguistically, implies and induces emotional context. In other words,
I think they feel a little too strongly about themselves, and perhaps
want others to feel that way too. Terms like "worlds first" "the only
product that..." "all other products..." are a sure way of invalidating
a statement. They do not use many terms that realistically describe
amplitude, frequency, and duration; things that humans really need to
communicate subjective ideas accurately. Perhaps they've got a good
product, but I think they communicate so poorly that I won't be finding
out any time soon. At the very least, I'm not inclined to trust what
they say.
http://www.vanquish.com : also used many absolutes, however, fewer
pride-based statements than my least preferred of the trio. (these guys
mostly refrain from claiming to be the best, only, first, etc) The
punishment button is still giving me the giggles. Bad spammer!
Baaaaaad!
Again, Meng, thank you for the pointers. My preference is strongly in
favour TMDA right now. Perhaps SPF can integrate with it somehow...
