SEMANTIC ANALYSIS

The results of our semantic analysis are shown below using the website's language.

They are the main concepts covered by thestranger.com.

Each concept has a confidence score. The higher it is, the more important the topic is relative to the page.

Topics
Savage Love Confidence: 86% Arrow up

Savage Love is a syndicated sex-advice column by Dan Savage.

The column appears weekly in several dozen newspapers, mainly free newspapers in the US and Canada, but also newspapers in Europe and Asia.

It started in 1991 with the first issue of the Seattle weekly newspaper The Stranger.

Seattle Confidence: 74% Arrow up

Seattle is a seaport city on the west coast of the United States and the seat of King County, Washington.

With an estimated 684,451 residents, Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America.

In July 2013, it was the fastest-growing major city in the United States and remained in the Top 5 in May 2015 with an annual growth rate of 2.1%.

The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about south of the Canada–United States border.

A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the fourth-largest port in North America in terms of container handling.

Blog Confidence: 69% Arrow up

A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries ("posts").

Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.

Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic.

In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and sometimes professionally edited.

MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups, and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic.

The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news media.

Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
